Betrayal At The Altar (Rachel and David) novel Chapter 29

Betrayal At The Altar By Dolores Delia

Chapter 29

Rachel scrutinized David with curiosity.

She thought, “I wonder what this man’s background is exactly?”

David sat on the chair. The neckline of his shirt was slightly open, and the lines of his collarbone could be seen faintly.

It made his usual aloof self appear a lot wilder and unruly.

The warm light engulfed the man, making him appear a lot less intimidating.

His gaze was lowered, and there seemed to be an imperceptible smile on his face. He made a pot of tea in an orderly fashion, and at last, he placed one cup in front of Rachel. His deep and intoxicating voice rang out. “When will you be discharged?”

Rachel picked up the teacup in front of her and took a sip. The tea was fragrant, mellow, and sweet. She replied calmly, “Tomorrow.”

“I’ll give you a ride tomorrow.” David’s voice was rather deep. It was one that commanded respect.

Rachel shook her head lightly. “I appreciate your kind intentions, Mr. Jones, but I don’t need it.”

David raised his gaze and stared at Rachel with his dark unblinkingly.

eyes

Suddenly, his lips curled into a smile. His voice was low and seductive as he said, “You’re afraid of me.”

Rachel tightened her grip around the teacup, but her expression did not change. She met his eyes calmly. “Am I?”

David’s eyes were very dark, and it was difficult to tell what he was thinking. However, he had an intimidating aura that made Rachel feel almost suffocated just by being around him.

This man was far more unfathomable than she had imagined. Perhaps it would be impossible to ever understand him.

She thought to herself, “I can’t afford to offend him, but at the very least, I can still hide from him.”

David noticed Rachel’s downcast gaze. With dark eyes, he said, “I won’t force you, and I don’t expect you to answer me. But don’t you think your brief answers are too heartless?”
