Betrayal At The Altar (Rachel and David) novel Chapter 826

Chapter 826 

“Wedding Rachel was slightly stunned. 

Seeing her blank expression, Mr Chadwick explained patiently. “It’s Mr. Lucas’ wedding.” 

Hearing that Rachel immediately understood. 

She felt that the relationship between Miriam and Lucas had improved by leaps and bounds and at the speed of light. 

Rachel thought to herself. “Tve been away for only a week, yet Miriam and Lucas begin to plan their wedding! How could 

that be 

She stopped her thoughts from running wild and walked into the house. 

As soon as Rachel entered the house, she heard a soft voice. “I dont have any intention of forcing you. If you’re unwilling, we can hold the wedding later 

There was a hint of humble flattery and compromise in the words. 

For some reason, Rachel suddenly thought of the time when she was with Louis. 

To be honest, when she found Louis and learned that the Smith family was in a dilemma, she decided to help Louis only out of gratitude. 

However, after living with Louis for some time. Rachel began to rely on him and regarded that kind of dependence as love. 

Gradually, she began to lose herself. She kept giving in and accommodating herself to Louis without any bottom line, causing her to almost forget her identity. 

The Waller family could be considered a top-tier wealthy family in Ceneturz. As for the marriage alliance, the Johnson family was out of its league and benefited more than the Waller family. Logically speaking, the Johnsons would naturally be respectful to Miriam and try their best to satisfy all her needs. 

There was no reason for Miriam to be so humble in front of the Johnsons. 

Rachel knew that it was just because of Miriam’s affection for Lucas. 

However, even so. Lucas couldn’t make use of Miriam’s affection for him to push his luck 

Just as Rachel was hesitating if he should rush up and teach Lucas a lesson, she heard Lucas say, “Tm against holding a wedding so early not because I don’t want to marry you, but because I feel that it is too rushed. Many things haven’t been prepared well, and I’m worried that I won’t be able to give you a grand wedding.” 

Even if it was just a marriage alliance, Lucas knew very well that even if there was no love between Miriam and him, as Miriams husband, he should do what he should do. 

Therefore. Lucas thought that he was responsible and obligated to provide Miriam with a decent wedding and protect her dignity. 

Hearing that, Miriam lowered her eyes to hide the emotions in them. “Alright, I’ll inform my parents to come over and discuss the wedding.” 

“Ill listen to you.” Lucas said. “It’s getting windy outside. Let’s go back to the house.” 

Miriam nodded. She reached out and wanted to take Lucas’ arm, yet Lucas turned around and left directly without looking at Miriam 

Looking at her empty hand, Miriam suddenly felt an indescribable bitterness in her heart. 

“Ill stay outside for some fresh air. You can go back first, Miriam said. 

When Lucas heard that, he turned around and glanced at Miriam. He did not say anything and only nodded before leaving. 

Miriam stared at Lucas back for a long time. 

As a man and as a husband. Lucas did well. 

Lucas would stand beside Miriam and consider her needs, but Miriam knew that Lucas didn’t do that because of his love for her. It was just because of his sense of duty and mission. 

Miriam had always thought that as long as she loved Lucas enough, it didn’t matter even if he didn’t love her. 

But now, facing Lucas’s cold attitude, Miriam could not help but reflect on herself. Was she too naive and thought too simply’ 

Whether it was love or marriage, it had always been a thing between two people. A one-sided relationship would only be meaningless. 

Miriam did not regret it. It was just that she did not know what to do to arouse Lucas’ interest in her, 

Miriam sighed faintly. She turned to look at the roses swaying in the wind and poked them gently with her finger. “Do you think I’m stupid either?” 

She thought, “Lucas is clearly not a cold person, and he shows his true feelings toward Rachel. But why is he like an iceberg that will not melt forever in front of me 

As Miriam was thinking, a cold voice came from behind. “Miss Waller.” 

Hearing the voice, Miriam jumped in shock. She thought that she was the only one there and did not expect there to be 

someone else. 

She thought. “Did what I said just now be heard by others?” 

A trace of panic flashed across Miriam’s eyes. However, when she saw Rachel, her anxious heart suddenly relaxed. 

Miriam caressed her chest gently and heaved a sigh of relief. The corners of her lips curled up into a faint smile. “So it’s 

you.” 

She was almost scared to death. 

Rachel smiled and walked over. “Do you regret your decision back then?” 

When Miriam heard that, the smile on her face faded a little. She lowered her eyes and smiled self-deprecatingly. “Do you think I deserve it?” 

“No, I don’t.” Rachel looked at Miriam with a hint of pity in her eyes. 

Sure enough, when people met love, no matter how proud they were, they would also lower their heads and become timid and self-doubting. 

“I just think that you might as well be bolder, Rachel said. “Since you’ve decided to be with Lucas, you should be braver and express your affection for him. It’s not embarrassing to be more active. It’s better to be proactive than to miss the chance, isn’t it?”
