Betrayal At The Altar (Rachel and David) novel Chapter 725

Chapter 725
However, Rachel was pulled back by David. “Be good and lie down.”
It was a simple sentence, but it contained an unquestionable command that made it impossible for Rachel to resist.
Immediately after, David used the internal phone to call the serv ants and asked them to prepare food and bring it in.
While Rachel and David waited, Rachel simply talked about the question that had always been on her mind. “Have you been to Phareborough?”
“Yes,” David said. “You’ve asked this question before.”
At that time, David’s answer was the same as now.
What was different was that back then, Rachel only felt that it was a coincidence and thought that it was fate. However, after tonight’s incident, a new answer appeared in her heart.
Rachel’s heart sped up uncontrollably. Her fingertips curled up slightly as she deliberately controlled the frequency of her breathing. “Five years ago, when I participated in the training camp, I accidentally barged into Phareborough and participated in a chaotic battle. The man who protected me for the entire night was you, right?”
Rachel tried her best to control the frequency of her breathing, but her nervous voice was still mixed with an uncontrollable tremble.
When David heard this, the corners of his lips curled up slightly. A faint smile appeared on his face, and his eyes flickered with an intriguing expression.
It seemed that Rachel had not really forgotten. She just did not expect that they would meet again, let alone know that the person back then was David.
David held her hand. His well-defined fingers intertwined with hers, and his deep voice was neither fast nor slow. “At that time, the local government’s inaction caused Phareborough to belong to an area without administer. A mixed environment was the best place for me. to hide. It’s just that I didn’t expect my whereabouts to be exposed so quickly.
“At that time, the battle was intense. I fled all the way. I didn’t expect to meet you there.”
David would always remember the first time he saw Rachel.
In the flickering light, the young lady had short, car-length hair and a candy-colored rubber band tied around her wrist.

Under her bangs was a pair of clear charming eyes. They were pure black and white as if they contained all the beauty in the world.
Rachel was like a deer that had barged into the battlefield. She was so helpless.
To be honest, David had never possessed kindness, but for some reason, he had saved the young lady at that time.
Perhaps it was because Rachel was beautiful?
But now, David thought this was probably fate. na
No one would have thought that the young lady David had saved on a whim would one day become his wife. Rachel was not too surprised to hear David’s answer.
Rachel looked at the man in front of her with sparkling eyes and a smile on her red lips. The smile reached her eyes.
It was really David! At that time, the light was dim, and Rachel could not see the man’s face clearly, but she could clearly see the outline of his face and those bottomless black eyes.
At that time, Rachel was vigilant and thought that the man had ulterior motives when he approached her. She held a dagger in her hand for self-defense. Once the man made a move, she would end him with her own hands.

Later, at dawn, Rachel realized that her body was stained with blood. Only then did she know that the man was injured.
It was laughable that Rachel had searched for so many years and wasted three years on Louis. It turned out that the person she was really looking for had long appeared by her side.
“In other words, you recognized me the first time we met?” Rachel looked at David with a probing gaze. “Don’t tell me that all your gentleness and consideration were fake when you saw me?” If that was the case, it could only be said that David had been planning this for a long time.
David reached out and pinched Rachel’s earlobe. “That’s true, but my gentleness and consideration aren’t faked.” Worried that Rachel would not believe him, David analyzed logically, “You were in such a sorry state back then. It’s too ungentlemanly to leave you there. Besides, you were injured because of me. Logically speaking, I shouldn’t sit back and do nothing.
“After recognizing you, I did pay a lot more attention to you. After meeting you again and again, I became interested in you. Coincidentally, Grandma was very satisfied with you, so I had many more legitimate opportunities to get close to you.
“But what I didn’t expect was that you’re actually the Johnson family’s mysterious granddaughter, who is also my legitimate fiancée. Perhaps this is fate?”
In the past, David did not believe in fate at all.
David felt that, in this world, he had to fight for it if he wanted something.
Until Rachel appeared. It was as if Rachel was an accident that escaped from David’s grasp.
Rachel was completely out of David’s control, but she affected him at all times.
The topic of their engagement once again piqued Rachel’s curiosity. “So do you know the origin of our engagement?”
“I don’t know,” David said. “Apart from Grandma, I don’t think anyone else knows the origin of our engagement.”

Old Mr. Jones was extremely opposed to this engagement.
So when David offered to go to Seaxas to break off the engagement, Old Mr. Jones was the first person to stand up and agree.
“When we get back to Seaxas, can we go visit Grandma?”
Sometimes, the more one did not know the truth, the more one wanted to dig and try to get close to the truth.
The more Old Mr. Johnson avoided the origin of the engagement, the more Rachel wanted to find out the reason.
Of course, David knew what Rachel was thinking. “I’m afraid you’ll have to put in a lot of effort.”
“Why…” Before Rachel could finish her sentence, she sensed David’s restless hand and slapped it away angrily. “What are you doing… Ugh!”
David bent down and kissed Rachel’s lips. His palm took the opportunity to enter her clothes. His dark eyes became deeper and deeper. “Don’t struggle. Otherwise, if you touch my wound, it will cause a second injury.”
Rachel froze.
Rachel would never have thought that her concern would become the reason for David to push his luck.
“You’re injured. Can you behave yourself?”
“Even if I’m injured, it won’t stop me from performing normally.”
“But… about the dinner… Dinner will be served soon.”
“Pre-dinner exercise is good for the appetite.”
Rachel was speechless.
