Betrayal At The Altar (Rachel and David) novel Chapter 783

Chapter 783 

Rachel and Miriam arrived at Times Square in Seaxas. 

The two of them were not in a hurry to go shopping. Instead, they sat in a cafe and had some-snacks and coffee for afternoon tea. 

When the coffee was served, Rachel picked up a spoon and slowly stirred the coffee in front of her. She lowered her gaze and quietly looked at the small whirlpool in the cup. 

The two of them just sat there. Rachel had no intention of speaking first. 

She guessed that Miriam did not ask her out just to drink coffee and relieve her boredom. She probably had other plans. 

As soon as this thought came to her mind, Miriam couldn’t help but speak first. “Actually, I asked you out because I have something to ask you.” 

“About Lucas?” Rachel raised her eyebrows and looked at Miriam. 

Miriam nodded. She clasped her hands together to hide the nervousness in her heart. “Actually, I’ve only met him twice. There are many things that I can’t ask him directly, so I can only come and ask you.” 

“You’ve only met twice in total?” There was an unconcealable shock in Rachel’s eyes. 

She thought that the two of them had decided to get married despite not having much of a foundation of love because they had spent some time together. She did not expect that they had only met twice. 

She suddenly understood why Eleanor was holding her hand and telling her to have a good chat with Lucas in private. 

Not only did the two of them not take marriage seriously, but they were simply fooling 

around. 

Noticing the frost in Rachel’s eyes, Miriam quickly explained, “Although we haven’t been together for long, I’m serious about him.” 

No matter how one looked at it, it sounded like there was something else going on. 

“What do you want to ask?” A meaningful smile flashed across Rachel’s eyes. 

Seeing that Rachel had taken the initiative to speak, Miriam did not hide anything. “I wanted to ask you if there have been any other women by your brother’s side all these years? Or perhaps those kinds of women?” 

A woman would not be able to accept her future husband having another woman in his 

heart, no matter how accepting and generous she was. Miriam was the same. 

Moreover, the education she had received since she was young had taught her never to compromise. 

She would treat this marriage as if it had never happened if there was another woman in 

Lucas’s heart. 

Rachel seemed to have seen through Miriam’s thoughts. The corners of her lips curled up slightly. “No. Ever since he stepped down, he has been busy with his business and doesn’t have the mood to play with women.” 

Hearing this, Miriam secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and the nervous expression on her face faded a little. 

Rachel 

met?” 

put down the spoon in her hand and said calmly, “Can you tell me how you two 

“The first time I met him was five years ago. At that time, he was not like this. Instead, he was a famous figure in the military region. Everyone called him a genius sniper. He was also a mythical existence in the military region. I accidentally barged into the territory of illegal criminals while I was wandering outside alone…” 

Miriam did not hide anything and calmly told the story of her first encounter with Lucas. 

From catching a glimpse of Lucas to developing a silent crush, she kept how she had had a crush on Lucas for five years brief. 

However, only Miriam herself knew what it felt like to have a crush on someone for five 

years. 

“I heard that the Johnson family was interested in a marriage alliance, and I felt that my background was worthy of him, so I recommended myself.” 

At this point, an awkward expression appeared on Miriam’s face. 

“I’m curious. With your background, would your family agree to let you marry so far away into Seaxas?” Rachel looked at her calmly. She still had some doubts in her heart. “With your background, marrying into the Johnson family is a little unfair to you.” 

Moreover, with the Waller family’s prestige in the south, the wealthiest family in Seaxas, the Johnson family, might not be worthy of their attention. 

Miriam shrugged nonchalantly. “Isn’t getting married between Lucas and me?” 

In other words, what did it have to do with outsiders? 

Hearing her matter-of-fact tone, Rachel was speechless. 

What she said made sense. It was irrefutable. 

Back then, she had thought the same when she wanted to marry David. 

“My family has always known that I have someone I like, so they won’t stop me from marrying Lucas.” Miriam noticed the smile on Rachel’s face and mistakenly thought that she felt that this marriage was unreliable. She quickly explained, “If my grandmother knew that I was getting married to the person I like, she would definitely approve of it.” 

A hint of pride and confidence appeared on her face when she mentioned her grandmother. It was as if she had a royal edict. 

Rachel guessed that the reason why Miriam was so confident and ostentatious was that she had Old Mrs. Waller’s tacit support all these years. 

However, she still had some reservations about what Miriam said. 

After all, marriage alliances also required people of equal social status. Could the Waller family really accept the Johnson family without prejudice? 

“Rae-Rae, can you answer a few of my questions?” 

“Ask away.” 

As soon as she finished speaking, Miriam took out a notepad and a pen from her bag. 

There were all kinds of questions about Lucas in the notepad. 

Most of them were about his preferences. 

She asked and Rachel answered. 

Miriam meticulously recorded every answer Rachel gave. 

Rachel was ashamed of her inferiority. 

She could also sense that Miriam was serious about Lucas.
