Louis gritted his teeth and stood rooted to the ground.
David then shot a disdainful look at Louis.
Aware that David was seeing Louis as if Louis were rubbish, Louis felt a sudden surge of humiliation.
“Who is this man on earth?”
his relationship with Rachel?” Louis kept asking himself.
David returned to the car and caught sight of the red mark on Rachel’s wrist. A cold glint flashed across his eyes and he spoke, “How long can the Smith family hold on without your help?”
“Let it go,” Rachel said. “Don’t interfere.”
Before she could finish speaking, David approached her with a cold aura. Rachel froze.
“Are you still missing him?”
David turned up the corners of his mouth, but his eyes remained cold.
Rachel frowned slightly and asked, “Can’t I tell good from bad?”
Upon hearing this, David smiled with his eyes full of interest and answered teasingly, “You are so indifferent to my kindness, so sometimes you really can’t.”
“David!” Rachel hammered his chest in anger.
Unexpectedly, David grabbed her hand and said deeply, “Rae–Rae, I really love you.”
Facing this sudden confession, Rachel was at a loss. She pulled her hand back uncomfortably and tidied her messy hair.
However, David did not give up. He stretched out his arm and pulled her into his arms.
David buried his face in her neck and took a deep breath. His thin lips pressed against her ear as he said unhurriedly, “I know that my love surprised you, but I’m also the one who was frightened. I thought I wouldn’t love you as much as I did today, but I thought the same yesterday.”
Rachel stood rooted to the ground, her eyes wide with unconcealable shock.
David looked at the stunned Rachel with patience. He gently caressed her cheek with his fingertips and rubbed her soft lips with his fingertips. His Adam’s apple bobbed up and down. Finally, he could not help but lean down and gently touch the softest part of her body that he had always yearned for.
The man’s cold aura instantly enveloped Rachel, and she gradually regained her senses.
When she looked up, she suddenly met David’s burning and deep gaze.
As if she had been scalded, she hurriedly averted her eyes from him and pushed the man away.
Unexpectedly, David’s arm wrapped around her waist tightly, making it impossible for Rachel to break free.
David lowered his head and looked at her. The redness on Rachel’s face disturbed his mind a little, and his eyes became darker and deeper. “Rae–Rae, I regret it. I don’t want to wait anymore.”
Rachel’s eyebrows twitched. She looked at him in a panic. “David…”
Before she could finish speaking, the man’s palm grabbed the back of her head and her unfinished words were drowned in the kiss.
David greedily took her scent and explored every inch of her mouth.
The sudden kiss caught Rachel off guard. Her mind went blank. She completely forgot to struggle, as if everything happened naturally.
David’s arm tightened about her waist till she finally came back to her senses and used all her strength to push him away.
His face was right in front of her, and his dark eyes were terrifyingly deep and filled with heat as if he wanted to chew Rachel into pieces and swallow her.
David’s well–defined fingers grabbed her chin so that Rachel was face to face with him. He bent down slightly and placed his hand on her smooth forehead. “Rae–Rae, I don’t want to apologize for my actions just now.”
Rachel pursed her lips and held her breath. She tried her best to control the emotions in her heart. “You said you wouldn’t force me.”
“I thought I could pretend to be a gentleman.” David gazed into her, his eyes filled with indescribable emotion. “But from my loss of control just now, I’m even more certain that you’re the only one I want in this life!”
David had always been calm and restrained, but he never knew that just a kiss was enough to make him lose control at any time.
Rachel’s already flustered heart was completely in a mess. Her eyes flickered, and for a moment, she did not know how to respond.
After pondering for a long time, she said, her voice trembling uneasily, “I need time to think…”
With that, she opened the car door and rushed out.
David looked at her fleeing back with a meaningful smile touching the corner of his mouth.
He was attracted by Rachel’s looks at the beginning. Slowly after he started getting to know her, he could feel that he was not repulsed by her and was even interested in her. Later on, he was certain that he was determined to get the woman!
Rachel jumped out of the car and walked on the street in a daze.
It was undeniable that she had fallen into a painful internal struggle.
She was indeed moved by David.
However, her remaining rationality reminded her again and again not to forget the pain.
The three years she had been in love with Louis had consumed all her sincerity and passion, but it turned out that their relationship was one–sided.
David, however, had just appeared in her life for a few days.
Rachel scratched her head in frustration and thought to herself that she would cross the bridge when she reached it.
Suddenly, her lips curled into a self–deprecating smile.
She recalled what Mary had said in all seriousness, “Based on my many years of experience, it won’t be long before you fall.”
Sure enough, Mary was right.
As Rachel was thinking, her phone suddenly rang. She saw a call from Mary. “Rae–Rae, didn’t you say that you were coming over in the afternoon? Why took you so long?”
“…I’m on my way. I’ll be there soon.” Rachel looked around and hurriedly hailed a taxi from the side of the road. She bent down and got in.
Ten minutes later, Rachel arrived at the wedding dress studio.
The studio was located in a villa on Tranquil Road, away from the crowded and noisy streets, facing a stand of white birch trees.
The classic–style villa reveals a unique retro and melancholy, with pointed arches and rose windows as the main decorations.
The bronze nameplate clearly had the words “Redamancg” engraved on it.
Mary was responsible for the site of the studio and its design. Rachel just invested a portion of the funds and occasionally took orders.
When Rachel pushed the door open and walked in, she was greeted by Alice, who immediately went up to her. “Boss is waiting for you in the studio.”
Rachel nodded.
She walked up the spiral staircase and headed straight for Mary’s office.
At this moment, in Mary’s office, a well–dressed woman was sitting on the sofa and patiently sipping tea.
“You’re finally here.” Mary secretly heaved a sigh of relief at the sight of Rachel. Mary stood up, walked to Rachel, and introduced her to the woman sitting on the sofa. “This is our chief designer, Rachel Grey. This is Miss Iris Shain.”
Of the four major families in Seaxas, the Shain family was one of them.
“Hello.” Rachel graciously extended her hand.
After the three of them sat down, Iris revealed some of her thoughts on the wedding dress.
Rachel sat at the side and carefully recorded it. Finally, she took measurement of Iris’s vital statistics.
“In a week, we’ll pass you the design draft. It’ll help you propose some opinion,” Rachel said.
Iris’s face was filled with joy. “Thanks, Miss Grey.”
After sending Iris off, Mary and Rachel turned around and returned to the office.
