Betrayal At The Altar By Dolores Delia Chapter 304 Playing With Fire The veins on David’s forehead bulged slightly. After a long time, he sighed. faintly. “You are driving me insane.”

Rachel narrowed her attractive eyes at David. There was a touch of a teasing. look in her eyes when she said, “You’re playing the blame game?”

David was the one who made a move on her, yet he was now blaming her.

“Well, I played with fire and got burnt.” David wiped the corner of her lips with his well–defined fingers. “What do you want to eat?”

Upon hearing that, Rachel replied, “Home–cooked food.”

What she meant was them cooking for themselves, but David misinterpreted her words.

Sitting in the dining room, Rachel looked at the exquisite dishes placed in front of her. The edges of the plates were engraved with the “Best Fry” logo. She wanted to cook but realized that David had already made all the arrangements earlier on. For some reason, she felt like she owed him a favor.

The warm orange lights shone down on the diners, creating a cozy atmosphere in the restaurant.

Rachel slowly ate the food on her plate. She looked up and was taken by surprise when she met David’s dark and deep eyes.

David ate very little. It was not that he had no appetite, but he was picky and demanding.

Rachel swallowed the food in her mouth and took a sip of water. “When did you get back?” she asked.

“At ten o’clock in the morning,” David said calmly.

Rachel nodded. There was a faint smile in the depths of her attractive eyes.

From David’s answer, Rachel deduced that he should have received the news on the way back from the airport and gone straight to Times Square to look for her.

Women loved it when their partners feel closely attached to them and cared for them. Rachel was no exception.

At this moment, a message popped up on David’s phone. He frowned imperceptibly.

Rachel noticed the hostile look in David’s eyes, and the twinkle in her eyes. disappeared instantly. “What’s wrong?”

“There’s a problem with the cargo at the docks,” David replied.

“Is your business in Seaxas operated very widely?” asked Rachel.

“I’m involved in real estate, entertainment, and transportation industries of all sizes. However, all these are merely a small part of my grandma’s businesses,” answered David.

“His grandma’s business?” thought Rachel.

That meant that it was not related to the Jones family at all.

Rachel looked at David in surprise. His words had piqued her interest. “What about your business?”

David looked at her deeply and said indifferently, “My business is mainly in Aureliana.”

He did not hide anything from Rachel.

Moreover, if Rachel married him in the future, she would have to return to Aureliana with him sooner or later.

“What’s so special about Aureliana?” asked Rachel.

What Rachel originally wanted to ask was, “What kind of place is Aureliana?”

She had once tried to investigate Aureliana, but just like the outside world’s evaluation of it, it had the highest level of confidentiality in the world. It was as if that state was isolated from the world. Outsiders could not find any information on Aureliana at all.

However, the more mysterious something was, the easier it was to arouse one’s curiosity.

“There’s nothing special about it,” David said. “If there’s a chance, I’ll bring you there.”

His tone was calm as if he was discussing something very ordinary.

However, a wave of emotion washed over Rachel when she heard his words.

“Are you full?” Unknowingly, David regarded her with a gentle look.

Rachel nodded and wiped the corners of her mouth with a napkin. Her probing gaze landed on David.

“Do you want to go to the docks?” David asked.

Rachel hesitated for a moment. “Will it cause any inconvenience for you?”

David did not give any reason. Instead, he stood up and walked over to Rachel. He held onto her hand and walked out.
