David Jones frowned slightly. “It could also be a man.”
Rachel narrowed her eyes slightly. “If it’s really a man, why did she say that in front of me just now? Why did Grandma interrupt her at the critical moment?”
Old Mrs. Jones was angry just now for two reasons.
Firstly, Marina did not follow the rules. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
Secondly, she saw through her trick of sowing discord.
David looked up at her. After peeling the last shrimp in his hand, he took a tissue and slowly wiped his well-defined fingers. “So?”
“Am I a mistress of yours?” Rachel asked.
Regardless of whether Marina’s words were meant to sow discord or to deliberately mystify things, it had to be said that she had indeed piqued her curiosity.
There was no woman in this world who didn’t care if her man was getting too close to other women.
If she really didn’t care, it must be because she didn’t love him.
“No!” David looked at her and felt that his answer a second ago was not serious enough. He continued seriously. “Other than you, I haven’t been with any other woman.”
Upon hearing his answer, Rachel said calmly without any hesitation, “That’s good.”
It wasn’t that she couldn’t accept that David had been with other women before.
It was because she couldn’t accept that after David got together with her, he still maintained an ambiguous relationship with other women.
She could not accept the existence of a mistress.
She did not care about David’s past. After all, she was the one who was and would be with him.
David looked at Rachel’s cheeks that were filled with shrimp and could not help but reach out to pinch. her face.
“Ugh…” Rachel stared at him angrily with her sparkling eyes.
David said, “Why can’t you be a little more st*pid!”
Rachel rubbed her face. “It’s not my fault. You’re too smart.”
After eating, the two of them planned to leave after saying goodbye to Old Mrs. Jones.
However, Old Mrs. Jones held Rachel’s hand and chatted with her for a long time.
“Don’t let my words bother you, Rae-Rae,” Old Mrs. Jones said. “I can assure you that David has never been with any woman other than you.”
At this point, Old Mrs. Jones thought of something and couldn’t help but laugh. “Let me tell you something. Back then, I suspected that David had some unspeakable mysterious illness. I even sent someone to tie him up and send him to the hospital for a checkup.”
Rachel was speechless.
“You’re not treating me as an outsider, Grandma,” she thought. “Why are you telling me all these?”
“Don’t worry. As long as I’m here, no one can bully you,” Old Mrs. Jones said. She took a wooden box carved with a phoenix from Rosie’s hand and handed it to Rachel. “Take this.”
Rachel looked at the box in front of her.
Although she did not know what was inside the box, she was quite sure that the item inside was priceless, judging from the box carved with a phoenix.
Rachel didn’t want to take Old Mrs. Jones’s things, so she returned it to her. “Grandma, I can’t take this.”
“You’re my family. Why can’t you take it?” Old Mrs. Jones said as she stuffed the box into Rachel’s arms.
Rachel looked at David at a loss.
David’s thin lips curled up slightly into a faint smile. “Since Grandma gives it to you, just take it. Anyway, she has got a lot of good things.”
Rachel pursed her lips. “Thank you, Grandma.“
Rachel’s words brought a bright smile to Old Mrs. Jones’s face. “Well, you have taken it. From now on, you will be David’s wife. You can’t go back on your word.”
Rachel was stunned.
For some reason, she felt like she had sold herself to David.
The two of them chatted for a long time until eight o’clock in the evening. After Old Mrs. Jones took her medicine, Rachel and David stood up and left.
Watching the two of them leave, Old Mrs. Jones could not help but sigh softly. “I wonder how long I can protect her.”
“You don’t have to say that. Mrs. Jones. You’re lucky and blessed. Don’t worry about them.” Rosie carefully tucked Old Mrs. Jones in. “You know Mr. David well. No matter what kind of commotion there will be, it will have nothing to do with Miss Grey.”
When Old Mrs. Jones heard this, she still had a worried expression on her face. “Have you invited the Johnson family?”
“Yes. Rosie replied, “but they said that Old Mr. Johnson has been feeling unwell recently and can’t receive guests.”
When Old Mrs. Jones heard this, a meaningful smile flashed across her eyes. “I guess he won’t be able to recover for a while.
Rosie smiled tacitly.
After David came out of the bathroom, he saw Rachel sitting cross-legged at the end of the bed. She opened the box, took out the things inside, and placed them in front of her one by one.
Rachel rested her chin on her hand and looked at the necklace, bracelet, earrings, and ring.
“This set of jewelry is a little old.” David dried his hair as he walked straight to Rachel, his legs straight and slender.
When he passed by the sofa, he put down the towel in his hand and sat beside Rachel.
Rachel looked up at him. “Well, tell me something about these.”
Judging from the color of this set of jewelry, one could tell that it was priceless, and there were four rare pieces of them!
She did not expect Old Mrs. Jones to be so generous.
“These are the engagement gifts given to Grandma. They’re quite old. It’s said that Grandma’s mother passed it to her back then,” David said as he picked up the bracelet and put it on Rachel’s wrist.
Its color made Rachel’s skin look even fairer than that of an angel.
David’s fingers rubbed her wrist. “It suits you very well.”
“It’s so precious. I’ll return these to Grandma another day,” Rachel said and was about to take the bracelet off her wrist.
David grabbed her hand. “Since you’re wearing it, I won’t let you take it off.”
“You want to keep me with you with this?” Rachel raised her arm and shook the bracelet on her wrist. “With the bracelet and me!” David said. He leaned over and pressed Rachel under him. His arms and legs
held her tightly in his arms.
Rachel rolled her eyes helplessly. “Why are you so childish, David?”
“Then let’s do something mature, shall we?” His fingertips held Rachel’s chin as he kissed her lips.
Rachel opened her mouth and breathed heavily, giving David a chance to take advantage of the situation.
He ran his fingers through her hair and held the back of her head. He went straight in and invaded her mouth, little by little.
Sometimes it was intense, and sometimes it was gentle.
His breath was like an impenetrable net that wrapped around her tightly, wanting to devour her.
The corner of her pajamas was lifted, and the skin around her waist was exposed, causing her body to tremble.
He kissed her all the way down.
Gradually, he reached the sensitive area of Rachel’s body. Her fingertips curled up. “Enough… This is enough…”
If he continued, he would soon lose control.
