Betrayal At The Altar (Rachel and David) novel Chapter 172

Betrayal At The Altar By Dolores Delia Chapter 172

Rachel immediately detected the man’s evasiveness through his words.

Clearly, David was not going to be forthcoming without prompting.

This made Rachel feel a little depressed and unhappy.

She felt like everyone around her knew something she did not, which was a very unpleasant feeling.

After hanging up, she lay on her back and stared blankly at the ceiling above.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open.

She sat up abruptly and saw Lucas walking in. She gasped, “What are you doing here?”

“To take you out and clear your mind?” Lucas pulled out a chair and sat down with his legs wide open.

Rachel looked at him, feeling very irritated and indeed in need of venting her emotions.

She hesitated for a moment and suggested, “The usual?”

“Sure,” Lucas said.

The two of them walked out one after the other and bumped into Old Mr. Johnson coming out of the room.

Old Mr. Johnson furrowed his brows at Rachel’s attire and then turned to Lucas with a stern expression. “Are you taking Rachel out to have fun again?”

“Grandpa, we’re just going out for a walk,” Rachel grinned and hooked her arm around his, supporting him as they walked down the stairs. “I’ll be staying at Uncle Tom’s tonight, but I will come back this weekend to have dinner with you.”

Her words left Old Mr. Johnson speechless.

He looked into Rachel’s eyes which were strikingly similar to Sophia’s and sighed helplessly. “Be careful and stay safe.”

“Don’t worry.” Lucas said, “As long as Rae–Rae’s with me, she will be fine.”

Old Mr. Johnson sneered coldly. “You have the nerve to speak. It’s only when you’re with her that she acts unruly like you.”

“Alright, alright. Let’s go.” Lucas would’ve developed a headache if he had continued to listen to Old Mr. Johnson’s nagging. He quickly tugged on Rachel’s wrist and left.

As Old Mr. Johnson watched Rachel leave, his face immediately became solemn.
