Chapter 660

“You don’t like it?” David asked.

This was the first time he had ever proposed to a woman, so he was inevitably a little nervous.

He specially asked for Jimmy’s opinion.

But he thought that Jimmy’s idea was too exaggerated, so he prepared a candlelight dinner himself.

Rachel walked up to the table and picked up a red rose. She moved it under her nose, sniffed it, and

then tugged it behind her ear. “I didn’t expect you to prepare these.”

In her impression, David was cold and abstinent, not seemed to be someone who would create

romance and surprises.

David’s eyebrows shot up slightly. He walked over, pulled out a chair, and gestured for Rachel to sit

down.

His deep, magnetic voice sounded in Rachel’s car, “Everything is possible.”

Rachel looked up at him.

She figured out the profound meaning behind David’s words.

He was hinting that people would change for their beloved.

If a person refused to make any changes for you, then he must not love you so much.

The evening glow reddened the sky. The sun gradually sank below the h o ri zon.

The surface of the sea rippled with light, like silver ribbons swaying in the wind.

Candlelight flickered in the yacht, making the atmosphere become ambiguous.

Rachel slowly cut her steak and looked up at the man sitting opposite her.

The dim light accentuated his well-defined face.

The shadow of the flickering candlelight reflected on his face, softening his strong aura.

“Why are you suddenly proposing to me?” Rachel had always thought that the proposal would only

happen after her grandfather accepted him.

David looked up at her, curving his lips into a smile. “Since I’m bringing you back to Aureliana, I should

let the others know who you are.”

In this way, he wanted to tell everyone that Rachel had him backing her up.

More importantly, he hoped that Rachel wouldn’t have to envy others when she was with him.

He wanted her to feel that every day she spent with him was wonderful and meaningful.

A trace of surprise flashed across Rachel’s eyes. “It’s so sweet! What should I do to show

“It’s very simple. I want nothing but you,” said David.

When Rachel heard this, some R-rated images suddenly appeared in her mind.

my thanks?”

Blushing, she quickly lowered her head to continue eating.

“When will you go to Aureliana with me?” David asked.

Rachel tilted her head and pondered for a moment. “How about tomorrow?”

“It’s not that urgent,” David said. “If you’re not ready, I can wait for a few more days.”

“No need. I will go with you tomorrow at the latest.”

Actually, everything was ready, but Rachel didn’t expect herself to suddenly fall ill and end up in the

hospital.

David put down his cutlery, took the napkin, and slowly wiped his mouth. “Then I’ll pick you up

tomorrow.”

“Okay.”

After they finished eating, Rachel suggested going for a spin on the sea.

However, considering that she had just been discharged from the hospital and might still be weak,

David decided to send her home.

The car stopped. Rachel looked at David, not wanting to part from him. “I’m leaving then?”

“Okay.” David said, “Take a good rest.”

Rachel did not respond. She opened the car door and was about to get out of the car when she

repeated, “I’m leaving?”

“Bye!” David responded emotionlessly.

“I’m really leaving!” Rachel could not help but repeat again.

Hearing no response from David, she felt a little disappointed. She turned around in a huff and was

about to get out of the car.

Just as she stepped on the ground, David suddenly reached out to her waist and pulled her into his

arms.

Before Rachel could react, he leaned over and kissed her on the lips.

After a passionate, sticky French kiss, Rachel panted in David’s arms, her clear, misty eyes shining

brightly.

David looked down at her and gently wiped the water off her lips with his fingertips. “Do you know how

hard I’ve been restraining myself?”

Rachel had just recovered from a serious illness. David was worried that she would be too exhausted

after their intimacy, so he had been struggling to depress his desire. But this little girl didn’t understand

it and kept on seducing him!

Rachel sighed lightly. “Are you blaming me?”

“How can I bear to blame you?” David said with a smile, “It’s my fault for being vulnerable to

temptation.”

Rachel chuckled at his words.

She cupped David’s face and pecked on it before hopping out of the car decisively. “I’ll get going. Good

night.”

“Good night.”

After watching Rachel leave, David returned to his usual aloof self. “Drive me to the 101 Institute.”

“Yes.”

As the car sped along, David’s phone suddenly rang. It was Landon.

“I ran into Lucas at the research institute today and discovered that the research institute was

conducting a highly confidential experiment. They kept it a secret even from our people.”

Back then, David convinced Tom by collaborating with the government to create a laboratory.

Apart from the elites from various research institutes, experts from David’s research institute joined the

laboratory as well.

In the past, expert groups or research and development teams would share all the results of each

other’s experiments. However, the Johnson family always kept some experiments they were

conducting highly confidential. Clearly, there were some things that they did not want to reveal to

outsiders.

“And this evening, another group of people came to the research institute and talked to Ethan.” Landon

said, “An hour ago, our men reported that Tom joined hands with the governments of 10 states and

established a research team.”

Back then, when David offered to cooperate with him, Tom talked a lot about his research and

development team.

“Why would Tom make it so big?” David thought with a frown, his cold, thoughtful eyes as deep as two

bottomless pools. No one could tell what was on his mind.

“Have you got any clue about what I asked you to investigate?”

Landon lit a cigarette and took a deep drag. With the white smoke slowly coming out of his mouth, his

deep, cold voice sounded, “Ethan is an old fox. After so many years, he’s even more cun ning than

before. You can’t believe anything he says.”

Even coercion wouldn’t work on Ethan.

Now that he had someone backing him up, he was much more confident than before.

David said meaningfully, “Don’t forget what Ethan’s old job is.”

Landon’s pupils constricted at his words. “Are you suspecting that the Johnson family is using Ethan to

make the poison?”

David adjusted his tie and said coldly, “Ethan is the most well-known poison maker in Aureliana. Since

he can make poison, he can detoxify it, of course.”

After hanging up, he urged Billy to go to the research institute as soon as possible.

By this time, Rachel had returned to Johnson’s Mansion. As soon as she entered the room, she saw

Old Mr. Johnson sitting on the sofa.

Her heart ski pped a beat and she reflexively glanced at Lucas.

Seeing Lucas pouting at her helplessly, she became a little nervous.

“Could it be that Lucas sold me out? This da mned traitor!” she thought.

While Rachel was in a trance, Old Mr. Johnson’s voice sounded.
