Betrayal At The Altar (Rachel and David) novel Chapter 598

Chapter 598
David’s eyes were dark, and there was a faint hostility in his eyes. “What do you mean?”
Jimmy quickly corrected himself. “There will be no accidents.”
David replied indifferently, “Lock down all the news tonight. I don’t have to teach you what to do.”
“Alright,” Jimmy replied.
Suddenly, Jimmy thought of something and could not help but ask, “David, Rachel is the daughter of the Johnson family, the owner of Glamour Pavilion, and one of the founders of the Raimant Collection. She must have at least millions. Why did that idiot Louis take a fancy to the Cruise family girl?”
These identities were worth a lot. Even 10 times the Cruise family would not be compatible, let alone
one.
How s*upid must the Smith family be to abandon Rachel and choose a brainless Olivia?
David’s pitch-black eyes were frosty, and the corners of his mouth curled into a faint smile. “Fate is indescribably wonderful.”
Fortunately, Louis was s*upid.
On the other end of the line, Jimmy felt like he had been caught off guard, And David was saying something about fate being indescribably wonderful. Jimmy did not expect to hear such pretentious words from David one day.
David was about to hang up when Jimmy suddenly shouted, “David.”
There were some words on the tip of his tongue, but Jimmy suddenly hesitated. After thinking for a moment, Jimmy finally said, “I shouldn’t say these things, but I still want to advise you to be less concerned about Rachel. Even if you care, you should restrain yourself.”
“The Jones family. You know very well what kind of people they are. Those people are eyeing you covetously. All these years, they’ve been trying their best to find a way to deal with you. If they find out about Rachel’s existence, I’m worried…”
Jimmy stopped talking at the right time. He sighed softly. “In short, what you do for Rachel might not be good for her.”
No one knew better than David about what kind of existence the Jones family was.
David pursed his thin lips slightly. His dark eyes seemed to be tempered with ice, murderous and dangerous.
After hanging up, David returned to his bedroom.
Rachel sat on a rattan chair on the balcony. The hem of her white nightdress fluttered in the wind.
Rachel looked up at the endless sky, thinking about something.
“There’s no moon tonight.” David handed Rachel the milk in his hand and draped the blanket over Rachel’s shoulders before sitting on the seat beside her.
Rachel held the hot milk in her hand and slowly lowered her eyes to hide the emotions in her eyes. “Yes, there’s no moon.”
Rachel’s tone was indifferent, but there was an indescribable sadness in it that made one’s heart ache for her.
David held one of Rachel’s hands. “I will always be by your side.”
How could someone as smart as David not understand the deeper meaning behind Rachel’s words?
But David would always be by Rachel’s side, unlike the moon.
Hearing this, Rachel looked up at David. “Aren’t you curious at all?”
David looked at Rachel. The coldness between David’s eyebrows faded a little, and a hint of gentleness. appeared. “If you want to talk about it, I’m willing to be your most loyal listener.”
“David…” The corners of Rachel’s mouth curled into a helpless smile. “You make it difficult for me not to love you.”
David had never pressed Rachel for anything. David would only hold Rachel’s hand and tell her that he was there for her when Rachel was in a desolate mood. David would stay by Rachel’s side quietly.
There were too many things about David that made Rachel fall for him. Rachel was willing to walk. through fire for him.
Of course, Rachel knew that David would never allow that.
Rachel held David’s hand back and gently rubbed her fingertips against the back of his hand as if to comfort him.
“I’m fine. I just thought of some unpleasant people and things when I saw Thomas Tory’s attitude.” Rachel sighed slightly. “Give me a minute to adjust my emotions.”
“You don’t have to be strong in front of me.” David pulled Rachel into his arms. “I’ll be your protector. Do whatever you want.”
David’s deep and magnetic voice became gentle, showing endless pampering and indulgence. His voice was like soft silk wrapping around Rachel’s ears and her heart.
Rachel looked at David with her almond-shaped eyes, sparkling with happiness. She leaned on David’s shoulder and looked at the few stars in the night sky. Rachel said calmly, “When I was young, I naively thought that people could become stars in the sky when they died. But later, I understood that death is death. Dead people don’t become stars.”
It was a lie used by adults to deceive children.
And a lie was a lie. There was no kindness to speak of.
“Have you heard of a saying?” David said, “As long as the living remember, the deceased will not leave. Perhaps she is guarding and accompanying you in another parallel world. As long as you remember, she will never disappear.”
Rachel’s eyelashes fluttered slightly.
As long as Rachel remembered it, she would never disappear.
Rachel vaguely remembered that her mother loved gowns, liked flowers, but loved white tulips the most. Her mother liked to eat sweet food even when her teeth hurt. Her mother liked to listen to “My Heart Will Go On”, and…
What else?
Rachel pursed her lips and said in a low voice, “Then I definitely don’t love her enough.”
Otherwise, how could Rachel not remember what she looked like?
“Love has never had a standard answer or a clear rule, so don’t question yourself.” David leaned over and kissed Rachel’s forehead.
Rachel slowly closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Rest early. After 12 o’clock tonight, you will be the birthday boy.”
David raised his eyebrows slightly. There was a hint of interest in his eyes. “What surprise gift did you prepare for me?”
“There’s definitely a gift.” Rachel slowly withdrew from David’s embrace and poked his chest with her fingertips. “As for whether it will surprise you, I don’t know.”
David chuckled. “Now that you mention it, I’m even more curious about what my gift is.”
Looking at Rachel’s back as she left, David quickly caught up to her and bent down to carry her h*rizontally.
Rachel exclaimed and instinctively h*oked her arm around David’s neck.
“Disclose some information in advance?” David looked down at Rachel.
Rachel raised her eyebrows slightly. “If I told you, you wouldn’t be looking forward to it.”
Rachel paused for a moment. “But I advise you not to have too much hope, lest you get disappointed.”
“That makes sense,” David said.
Rachel could vaguely smell a faint scent on David’s body.
It was the smell of a woman’s perfume.
Rachel moved closer to David’s neck and sniffed carefully.
Rachel’s warm breath sprayed on the skin of his neck, making David itch uncontrollably. David’s arms that were hugging Rachel could not help but tighten.
David’s dark eyes were deep, and his cold voice was mixed with a hint of s*xy h*arseness. “What do you smell?”
“The smell of a woman’s perfume,” said Rachel.

Upon hearing this, an imperceptible coldness flashed across David’s eyes. “I must have caught it at the
venue.”
“Then quickly wash it off,” Rachel said as she broke free from David’s embrace and pushed him towards. the bathroom. “I don’t want to sleep with the smell of other women.”
