Betrayal At The Altar (Rachel and David) novel Chapter 8

Betrayal At The Altar By Dolores Delia Chapter 8

Chapter 8

Rachel Grey instantly opened her eyes. The first thing she saw was David Jones handsome, flawless face. Surprise flashed through her almond–shaped eyes, and she exclaimed, “What are you doing here?”

She had just seen her a few hours ago, and now they had met again.

David was wearing a bespoke three pieces suit that fitted him nicely, which enhanced the innate elegance and nobleness he carried.

“I’m here to visit an elderly.” His dark eyes landed on Rachel’s face, and a fleeting twinkle appeared in his eyes. He repeated, “Are you okay?”

Rachel raised her head to look at him to find herself looking straight into the black hole of his dark, unfathomable eyes. Her heart naturally skipped a beat. “I’m fine.”

“I’m talking about here,” David poked at his chest where his heart was as he spoke. “Usually, most women would choose to cry out loud and have a good release of their emotion. Want to give it a try?”

As he spoke, he took a handkerchief and handed it to Rachel.

Stunned by his sudden act, a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. “Crying doesn’t solve any problem. Furthermore, I have no reason to waste any tears for a man that doesn’t worth any drop of my tears.”

“It’s terribly painful, isn’t it?” He gazed at her.

Rachel stared at the branches of the willow tree flowing as the wind blew. Her vision slowly emptied as she muttered, “How could it not?”

She thought her passion would be returned with true love but had gotten nothing.

David gazed at her in silence for a moment before he said, pursing his lips, “True. Instead of hanging on to someone or something that wasn’t worth your effort and love, why not save them for those that love you?”
