Betrayal At The Altar (Rachel and David) novel Chapter 10

Betrayal At The Altar By Dolores Delia Chapter 10

Chapter 10

David Jones turned toward her grandma and noticed the slyness in her eyes. He grinned. “I’ll never forget your kindness, grandma.”

“You, brat!” Old Mrs. Jones threw him an irritated glance before raising her brows

triumphantly. “I did not do it for you. I’m doing it so that I get to meet my great–grandchild

soon.”

David looked downward, hiding the gloom beneath his sight. “That’s a promise then, grandma. She will be my bride. You won’t regret it, no matter what the future may bring.”

“There’s nothing I trust more than my instinct.” Old Mrs. Jones spoke. “You’re the one that needs to work hard and win her heart soon. From what I observe, she isn’t interested in you.”

That was precisely David’s worry.

No woman would reject him, considering his eligibility.

But Rachel did not seem wavered by what he could offer and did not seem attracted to him

at all. That was a colossal blow to his confidence.

“Maybe you can guide me on that?” David glanced at Old Mrs. Jones.

“You should show your sincerity if you want to make her yours.” Old Mrs. Jones spoke with an air of importance. “Do not act high and mighty in front of her, and take the initiative to be good and gentle to her. What’s important is to be loyal to her. You’ll get it from me if you ever do her wrong.”

David couldn’t help laughing. “We’re not married yet, and you’re taking her side already?”

“I like that girl very much.” Old Mrs. Jones couldn’t stop smiling when she recalled Rachel’s sweetness. “Where are you going?” She asked when she glimpsed David’s leaving figure.

“Taking initiative.” David grinned.
