Betrayal At The Altar (Rachel and David) novel Chapter 9

Betrayal At The Altar By Dolores Delia Chapter 9

Chapter 9

Rachel Grey glanced at David Jones in surprise.

“Do you mind coming with us to say hi to my grandma?” David glanced at Rachel with smiling eyes.

Rachel glanced at the elderly lady standing by the side, gazing at her, keen for an answer. She hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.

Watching Rachel and David walking toward her from afar, Old Mrs. Jones couldn’t control the broad smile on her face. She waved at them enthusiastically. “I hope you don’t mind me calling you over so suddenly, girl.”

It was the first time she saw her grandson with a lady.

She couldn’t control the excitement in her heart.

“How are you, Mrs. Jones?” Rachel greeted her with respect.

Old Mrs. Jones couldn’t hide the delight in her heart when she heard Rachel greeting her. She held Rachel’s hands adoringly and caressed them. “I’m fine, child. You’re such a good girl. I like you very much.”

Old Mrs. Jones’s sudden adoration for her made Rachel uncomfortable, and she could only return her a courteous yet awkward smile.

Feeling the discomfort Rachel felt, David came forward and adjusted the blanket covering old Mrs. Jones‘ lap, conveniently creating a distance between Rachel and his grandmother. “Although it’s sunny today, it’s still windy. You might still catch a cold.”

Old Mrs. Jones raised her brow in surprise. Was this gentle and considerate man still her unromantic grandson? She thought she might never live to see him with a woman.

Old Mrs. Jones had lived long enough to know what David was up to from the little gestures

he’d shown.

A meaningful grin appeared on her face.

David wasn’t dim–witted regarding how to treat a lady, after all. He was worried that she would make the young lady uncomfortable.
