Chapter 673

Rachel took the glass of water and took a sip. She blinked at him.

Her kind and innocent gaze seemed to be saying, “I don’t understand what you’re saying.”

When David saw her like this, the smile in his eyes involuntarily deepened.

His dark and deep eyes were filled with endless love and indulgence.

Rachel held the glass of water and slowly drank it.

Even if she didn’t look up, she could feel David looking at her.

It was impossible for her to ignore his sharp and scorching gaze.

She put down her glass of water and picked up her fork to try a slice of cake. It tasted sweet but not

cloying.

Then, she brought a small piece of cake to David’s lips.

David opened his mouth and ate it. The moment the sweet taste met his taste buds, his brow furrowed

imperceptibly.

“You don’t like it?” Rachel took a bite of the cake with a layer of cream on her red lips.

David’s eyes darkened. His Adam’s apple bobbed up and down. Perhaps her lips were more delicious

than the cake and more suited his taste.

He reached out and gently wiped the cream from her lips before putting his finger into his mouth to

suck.

When Rachel saw his actions, her cheeks turned slightly red. She lowered her eyes and ate the cake

silently.

Georgia, who was sitting opposite them, saw their interaction.

She had followed Landon since she was young and could be considered to have grown up with David.

In her impression, David had always been cold and indifferent, as if he was not interested in anyone or

anything.

However, she had personally seen the doting and indulgent look in David’s eyes just now.

At that moment, she finally understood that this man was not cold and heartless at all.

Georgia’s eyes flickered. She took a deep puff of her cigarette and used the thick white smoke to hide

the disappointment on her face.

She liked David, and she had liked him since she was very young.

If the person she liked was an unknown person, there was no need to mention it. However, she liked

David. She felt that there was nothing to be ashamed of

The entire Aureliana was filled with women who liked David. Even the eldest daughter of the Clifford

family, who was arrogant, did the same.

-Seeing the eldest daughter of the Clifford family lowering her status and acting obsequiously, Georgia

only felt that it was ridiculous.

In front of the strong, even the most arrogant woman would swallow her pride.

Unfortunately, even so, David never even looked at the eldest daughter of the Clifford family once.

However, Rachel was different.

Especially when Georgia saw how the two of them were showing off their love as if no one was around,

she realized that not only was she unable to smile, but she was also unable to control her jealousy.

Only by smoking and using nicotine to numb her aching heart would she be able to awaken her sanity.

She watched as one of her cigarettes was finished and the door to the restaurant was pushed open.

Thomas, who was wearing a striped suit, walked in with another man behind him.

Jimmy looked up and glanced at Thomas. “Well, Mr. Bowes, you’re so arrogant to keep so many of us

waiting for you.”

“Are you waiting for me or my vintage wine?” Thomas gestured for the person following behind to bring

the wine over. “I just got this from my father’s wine cellar. It’s said to be 30 to 50 years old. You guys

are lucky today.”

Jimmy said, “That’s very generous of you, Mr. Bowes.

“Now I’m being generous, not arrogant?” Thomas looked at Jimmy with a faint smile.

Jimmy chuckled. “An awesome person shows up in an awesome way.”

“Then you’re flattering me.”

As he spoke, Thomas sat on David’s right. From the corner of his eye, he saw the person who was still

standing there. “Grayson, what are you waiting for?”

Grayson Bowes suddenly came back to his senses, but his gaze was still fixed on Rachel, as if he

wanted to see something on her face. “Oh, I-I’ve never seen this ladly before. I feel that she looks a

little familiar.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere froze for a moment.

Landon got up and poured a glass of coffee, temporarily blocking Grayson’s sight. “You’re a good

talker,

man.”

David turned sideways toward Rachel. He wrapped his arm around her waist and said possessively,

“This

is Rachel, my fiancée.”

Grayson narrowed his eyes. He suppressed the shock in his heart and took a step forward. “Nice to

meet you. My name is Grayson Bowes.”

“Nice to meet you.” Looking at Grayson’s outstretched land, Rachel hesitated for a moment before

reaching out to touch it lightly.

However, when she was about to pull back her hand, Grayson suddenly tightened his grip.

This action made Rachel frown. A thin layer of coldness condensed in the depths of her eyes.

When people present saw this, they could not help but gasp.

Grayson had always been humble and polite. He had never done anything improper.

Why did he do something so impolite today? He was openly sn atching her from David.

They all thought Grayson was out of his mind.

David narrowed his eyes and stared at Grayson’s hand that was holding Rachel.

Although he didn’t say anything and didn’t show his feelings.

However, judging from his gaze, it seemed like he had already devised a hundred ways to cut off

Grayson’s hand.

“Miss Grey, have we met somewhere before?” Grayson asked.

Hearing this, David raised his eyebrows, but his eyes were terrifyingly cold.

Everyone present secretly broke out in a cold sweat.

Rachel replied, “No, I don’t think so.”

“No?” Grayson frowned as he stared at Rachel’s face. He seemed to be thinking hard. “But I… I feel

that I have indeed seen you before.”

Rachel searched for the memories of Grayson in her mind, but she did not have any impression.

She pulled her hand back forcefully, but Grayson held it tightly,

Rachel took a deep breath and suppressed the impatience and frustration in her heart. She said

patiently, Tim just an average-looking woman. Perhaps you have mistaken me for someone else, Mr.

Bowes.” Seeing that the atmosphere between the three of them was getting stranger and stranger,

Jimmy was really worried that David’s anger would cause the death of Grayson.

After all, no man could tolerate a man trying to sn atch his fiancée from him in front of others.

Jimmy walked forward with a glass of wine in his hand and placed one hand on Grayson’s shoulder. He

shook it tightly as if he was warning him. “It doesn’t matter if you’ve met before. We’re friends from now

on.”

As he spoke, he forcefully pulled Grayson’s hand and made him sit beside him. “It’s been a long time

since we’ve gathered together. Come on. Let’s raise our glasses and drink.”

Grayson raised his wine glass absent-mindedly. When he raised his head to drink, his sight lowered to

the corner of his eyes and his gaze landed on Rachel’s face again.

Under the light, Rachel raised her head and drank.

The curve of her neck was seductive, and her chin was thir. She looked beautiful and charming.

Even if it was just a profile of hers, it was enough to charm everyone.

It was right at this moment that Grayson’s eyes suddenly lit up. “Oh, now I remember!”
