Betrayal At The Altar (Rachel and David)
Chapter 577
David Jones frowned slightly. âIt could also be a man.â
Rachel narrowed her eyes slightly. âIf itâs really a man, why did she say that in front of me just now?
Why did Grandma interrupt her at the critical moment?â
Old Mrs. Jones was angry just now for two reasons.
Firstly, Marina did not follow the rules.
Secondly, she saw through her trick of sowing discord.
David looked up at her. After peeling the last shrimp in his hand, he took a tissue and slowly wiped his
well-defined fingers. âSo?â
âAm I a mistress of yours?â Rachel asked.
Regardless of whether Marinaâs words were meant to sow discord or to deliberately mystify things, it
had to be said that she had indeed piqued her curiosity.
There was no woman in this world who didnât care if her man was getting too close to other women.
If she really didnât care, it must be because she didnât love him.
âNo!â David looked at her and felt that his answer a second ago was not serious enough. He continued
seriously. âOther than you, I havenât been with any other woman.â
Upon hearing his answer, Rachel said calmly without any hesitation, âThatâs good.â
It wasnât that she couldnât accept that David had been with other women before.
It was because she couldnât accept that after David got together with her, he still maintained an
ambiguous relationship with other women.
She could not accept the existence of a mistress.
She did not care about Davidâs past. After all, she was the one who was and would be with him.
David looked at Rachelâs cheeks that were filled with shrimp and could not help but reach out to pinch.
her face.
âUghâ¦â Rachel stared at him angrily with her sparkling eyes.
David said, âWhy canât you be a little more st*pid!â
Rachel rubbed her face. âItâs not my fault. Youâre too smart.â
After eating, the two of them planned to leave after saying goodbye to Old Mrs. Jones.
However, Old Mrs. Jones held Rachelâs hand and chatted with her for a long time.
âDonât let my words bother you, Rae-Rae,â Old Mrs. Jones said. âI can assure you that David has never
been with any woman other than you.â
At this point, Old Mrs. Jones thought of something and couldnât help but laugh. âLet me tell you
something. Back then, I suspected that David had some unspeakable mysterious illness. I even sent
someone to tie him up and send him to the hospital for a checkup.â
Rachel was speechless.
âYouâre not treating me as an outsider, Grandma,â she thought. âWhy are you telling me all these?â
âDonât worry. As long as Iâm here, no one can bully you,â Old Mrs. Jones said. She took a wooden box
carved with a phoenix from Rosieâs hand and handed it to Rachel. âTake this.â
Rachel looked at the box in front of her.
Although she did not know what was inside the box, she was quite sure that the item inside was
priceless, judging from the box carved with a phoenix.
Rachel didnât want to take Old Mrs. Jonesâs things, so she returned it to her. âGrandma, I canât take
this.â
âYouâre my family. Why canât you take it?â Old Mrs. Jones said as she stuffed the box into Rachelâs
arms.
Rachel looked at David at a loss.
Davidâs thin lips curled up slightly into a faint smile. âSince Grandma gives it to you, just take it.
Anyway, she has got a lot of good things.â
Rachel pursed her lips. âThank you, Grandma.â
Rachelâs words brought a bright smile to Old Mrs. Jonesâs face. âWell, you have taken it. From now on,
you will be Davidâs wife. You canât go back on your word.â
Rachel was stunned.
For some reason, she felt like she had sold herself to David.
The two of them chatted for a long time until eight oâclock in the evening. After Old Mrs. Jones took her
medicine, Rachel and David stood up and left.
Watching the two of them leave, Old Mrs. Jones could not help but sigh softly. âI wonder how long I can
protect her.â
âYou donât have to say that. Mrs. Jones. Youâre lucky and blessed. Donât worry about them.â Rosie
carefully tucked Old Mrs. Jones in. âYou know Mr. David well. No matter what kind of commotion there
will be, it will have nothing to do with Miss Grey.â
When Old Mrs. Jones heard this, she still had a worried expression on her face. âHave you invited the
Johnson family?â
âYes. Rosie replied, âbut they said that Old Mr. Johnson has been feeling unwell recently and canât
receive guests.â
When Old Mrs. Jones heard this, a meaningful smile flashed across her eyes. âI guess he wonât be able
to recover for a while.
Rosie smiled tacitly.
After David came out of the bathroom, he saw Rachel sitting cross-legged at the end of the bed. She
opened the box, took out the things inside, and placed them in front of her one by one.
Rachel rested her chin on her hand and looked at the necklace, bracelet, earrings, and ring.
âThis set of jewelry is a little old.â David dried his hair as he walked straight to Rachel, his legs straight
and slender.
When he passed by the sofa, he put down the towel in his hand and sat beside Rachel.
Rachel looked up at him. âWell, tell me something about these.â
Judging from the color of this set of jewelry, one could tell that it was priceless, and there were four rare
pieces of them!
She did not expect Old Mrs. Jones to be so generous.
âThese are the engagement gifts given to Grandma. Theyâre quite old. Itâs said that Grandmaâs mother
passed it to her back then,â David said as he picked up the bracelet and put it on Rachelâs wrist.
Its color made Rachelâs skin look even fairer than that of an angel.
Davidâs fingers rubbed her wrist. âIt suits you very well.â
âItâs so precious. Iâll return these to Grandma another day,â Rachel said and was about to take the
bracelet off her wrist.
David grabbed her hand. âSince youâre wearing it, I wonât let you take it off.â
âYou want to keep me with you with this?â Rachel raised her arm and shook the bracelet on her wrist.
âWith the bracelet and me!â David said. He leaned over and pressed Rachel under him. His arms and
legs
held her tightly in his arms.
Rachel rolled her eyes helplessly. âWhy are you so childish, David?â
âThen letâs do something mature, shall we?â His fingertips held Rachelâs chin as he kissed her lips.
Rachel opened her mouth and breathed heavily, giving David a chance to take advantage of the
situation.
He ran his fingers through her hair and held the back of her head. He went straight in and invaded her
mouth, little by little.
Sometimes it was intense, and sometimes it was gentle.
His breath was like an impenetrable net that wrapped around her tightly, wanting to devour her.
The corner of her pajamas was lifted, and the skin around her waist was exposed, causing her body to
tremble.
He kissed her all the way down.
Gradually, he reached the sensitive area of Rachelâs body. Her fingertips curled up. âEnough⦠This is
enoughâ¦â
If he continued, he would soon lose control.
