Betrayal At The Altar (Rachel and David) novel Chapter 181

Betrayal At The Altar By Dolores Delia Chapter 181

The pair were sitting on rattan chairs when Rachel’s phone suddenly rang. When she saw the message from David, her lips curled into a smile.

Lucas looked at the smile on her lips and was slightly dazed.

He still remembered how Rachel looked when she first came to the Johnson family.

She was as skinny as a kitten, and her eyes were filled with panic and uneasiness.

She was not as delicate as other girls who were like little princesses. Or rather, the encounters she had had when she was young made her more sensible than other girls her age.

She was independent and strong. She never said anything when she was wronged, afraid that she would bring trouble to others. She was so sensible that it made one’s heart ache.

At that time, Lucas had sworn to himself that he would dote on this sister of his. As long as she asked, he would move heaven and earth for her.

He had never felt that Rachel was a burden. He even enjoyed her following him around.

Until five years ago, when they were attacked overseas.

From then on, Rachel seemed to have become a different person. She kept quiet about what had happened that night.

Their relationship was closer than before, but he also sensed a hint of coldness in the marrow of Rachel’s bones.

“Rae–Rae, have you ever regretted it?” Lucas‘ frosty voice was slightly hoarse.

Rachel looked at him and smiled. “There’s no regret in the adult world. You can only strive to move forward.”

When Lucas heard her answer, his lips twitched silently.

“Lucas, do you know David Jones?” Rachel went straight to the point.

Lucas‘ probing gaze landed on her. After staring at her for a moment, he lowered his eyes to conceal his emotions. “I don’t know him. I’ve only

heard some rumors about him. It’s said that he came from a country that we can’t touch. This place exists independently and doesn’t belong to any country or institution in this world.”

Rachel had always known that this world was not as simple as it seemed.

When she heard that Lucas had something to say, she was still curious and shocked.
