Betrayal At The Altar (Rachel and David) novel Chapter 784

Chapter 784 

Rachel understood her intentions. “Don’t worry, I won’t tell him.” 

Hearing this, a relieved smile appeared on Miriam’s face. “Thank you.” 

“You’re welcome,” Rachel replied. 

After the two of them parted ways, Rachel turned around and walked toward her car. 

Just as she opened the door and was about to get in, her phone suddenly rang. 

Her eyes flashed slightly when she saw that the call was from David. The coldness in her eyes faded a little, revealing a hint of gentleness. 

The two of them had only not seen each other for several days, but it felt like a long time. 

She put on her Bluetooth headphones and eagerly picked up David’s call. “You’re at Times Square?” David asked. 

“Yeah.” Rachel instinctively looked around. “Are you nearby?” 

David’s deep and cold voice rang out from the other end of the phone. “No, Jimmy saw 

you.” 

Jimmy had casually taken a photo and sent it to him. 

Although it was just a snapshot and the outline was blurry, it did not affect her bright and dazzling facial features at all. She was still breathtakingly beautiful and eye-catching. 

However, it also evoked the longing that he had suppressed in his heart for many days. 

Upon hearing his words, disappointment flashed across Rachel’s eyes. “I thought you were 

nearby…” 

“Do you miss me?” The man’s deep and cold voice suddenly became softer, and it grabbed her heart like a tiny hook. 

Rachel could not help but feel a ripple in her heart. She swallowed and suppressed the waves in her heart, but she refused to say anything that would make her seem weak. “I’ve been very busy recently. I didn’t have time to think about you.” 

“Fine, even if you don’t miss me, I miss you. Will that do?” David’s deep voice was like the bass chord of a cello. He slowly let out a sigh, and his voice sounded more lonely than before. “I thought that my fiancée will miss me after not seeing me for so long. It turns out that I was thinking too much.” 

His desolate tone made Rachel’s heart ache for him. 

Even though Rachel knew that he was deliberately putting on a pitiful act to make her heart ache, her heart still softened. “I miss you very much. I miss you so much that I can’t wait to see you immediately.” 

“Really?” 

“Of course.” Rachel smiled. 

This person was really contradictory. 

He had blamed her for being heartless when she said that she didn’t miss him, but he was now suspecting if it was true when she said she missed him. 

It was said that women were complicated creatures. In her opinion, men were about the 

same. 

On the other end of the line, David was silent for a moment before he chuckled. “Since you want to see me, I’ll naturally satisfy you.” 

Rachel frowned and was about to ask what he meant when a voice rang out from behind 

her. “Rachel!” 

Upon hearing the voice, Rachel casually turned to look at who it was. The smile on her lips disappeared a little when she saw Hans. There was a faint coldness in her eyes. “Why are you here?” 

She did not want David to hear her conversation with Hans. She was worried that it would 

dirty his ears, so she simply hung up. 

“Why can’t I be here?” Hans said matter-of-factly. He reached out to adjust his suit jacket. His every move exuded arrogance. “Rachel, I’m your father after all. Is this how you talk to your father?” 

The moment he opened his mouth, he used his identity as her father to pressure Rachel. 

Rachel’s eyes were filled with faint mockery. She raised her hand and tucked the loose hair behind her ear. She said unhurriedly, “Don’t forget that you were the one who said that you wanted to sever our relationship more than 20 years ago. Now, you’re going back on your word. Are you trying to slap yourself?” 

Hans had already experienced her eloquence. He could not be bothered to waste his breath on her, so he simply stated his purpose for coming. “I know you’ve become successful now, but you’re still part of the Grey family. You can’t just think about becoming successful and not care about your family, right?” 

His eyes kept glancing at the car behind Rachel as he spoke. 

This car was a limited edition worldwide. This was the only car of this model in Crucsia, 

much less Seaxas. 

Rachel naturally did not miss the shrewd plot in Hans’s eyes. Her red lips curled up into a cold smile. “So?” 

“The Grey family’s production line is facing elimination. See if you can get the Johnson family to help.” 

He enunciated each word very lightly. It did not sound like a request, more like an order from a superior. His matter-of-fact tone did not give Rachel a chance to refuse. 

Seeing his matter-of-fact attitude, Rachel narrowed her eyes slightly. Her eyes flickered with an inexplicable coldness, especially when she heard him mention the Johnson family. “Why should the richest family in Seaxas listen to my request?” 

“Of course, it’s because of your methods,” Hans said as he whipped out the photo he had taken in front of Tastyhaus. “I’ve checked. This is the Johnson family’s car. I saw you get into a car with the eldest daughter of the Johnson family with my own eyes. The two of you were chatting happily. You two must have a deep relationship. It’s just a small favor. This shouldn’t be a problem for you.” 

Rachel snorted unreservedly. “Then I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you. Not to mention that I don’t have the ability, even if I did, I would never help the Grey family!”
