And there was only one place for such interior finishings, the Sandalwood Hills.
The Sandalwood Hills was not inferior to the mansion of the Johnson family. So far, everyone knew of the existence of the Sandalwood Hills, but no one knew its owner.
Rachel did not expect this person to be David Jones.
“Miss Grey.” Mrs. Brown showed up behind Rachel quietly. She had a gentle smile on her face. “Mr. Jones had something on and left at the last minute. Before he left, he specially instructed me to bring you around.”
Rachel nodded slightly. “Thanks. I hope it won’t cause you much trouble.”
Hearing her words, Mrs. Brown was stunned for a moment. Then, the smile on her face became even wider.
To be honest, ever since David brought Rachel back last night, she had also realized that David treated Rachel differently. However, she could not help but be prejudiced against Rachel’s beautiful face.
At this moment, Rachel’s polite words and actions left Mrs. Brown believing she was different from those women who tried to climb into David’s bed.
She also gradually understood why David cared so much about this Miss Grey.
Mrs. Brown walked in front and led the way for Rachel. From time to time, she would introduce the facilities in the garden, as well as the flowers and trees.
Seeing that she was so familiar with the surroundings, Rachel asked casually, “Mrs. Brown, have you been working here for a long time?”
Mrs. Brown smiled and replied humbly, “It’s been five years.”
She sized up the expression on Rachel’s face. Taking advantage of the question, she changed the topic to David Jones. “This place is Mr. Jones‘ private residence. He has never brought anyone in beside a few of his friends.”
How could someone as smart as Rachel not understand the hint in her words?
Rachel only smiled faintly and did not say anything. She wanted to skip the topic, but since Mrs. Brown had already spoken, she wouldn’t stop there so soon. “To be honest, Miss Grey, you’re the only woman‘ Mr. Jones has brought into the Sandalwood Hills. It’s also the first time I’ve seen him take care of someone all night.”
The only woman…
There were too many explanations for this word.
When she heard this word, her heart skipped a beat.
However, this was not what she was concerned about. She looked at Mrs. Brown in surprise. “You just said… he didn’t sleep all night?”
Mrs. Brown nodded and continued with a smile, “Yes, Mr. Jones‘ personal doctor came over last night and said that you had a fever because of acute gastroenteritis and gave you an intravenous drip. However, Mr. Jones was worried and kept watch over you. He was unwilling to leave even after the intravenous drip was over. It can be seen that he really cares about you. Otherwise, why would he personally cook porridge for you?”
At this point, she seemed to have thought of something funny and couldn’t help but laugh. “Speaking of which, it’s really funny that Mr. Jones was learning to cook porridge from me.”
Rachel’s eyes flickered slightly.
When she woke up and saw David, she had a vague guess in her heart.
However, when all this came out of Mrs. Brown’s mouth, Rachel could no longer remain calm.
It had been too long since she had tasted the feeling of being cared for and seen as the only one.
There was only a void in her heart when her sincerity was exchanged for Louis‘ betrayal.
However, David had used his actions to plant seeds of love in the barren land in her heart. From then on, the barren land gradually sprouted.
Therefore, true love had always been unreasonable.
Rachel took a deep breath and calmed herself down. “Thank you for telling me this, Mrs. Brown.”
Hearing her words, Mrs. Brown was stunned for a moment before she lowered her eyes to hide her shyness. “I was just saying it casually. I hope you don’t mind me nagging, Miss Grey.”
In fact, Mrs. Brown naturally had a plan in mind. She could tell that David cared about Rachel and also sensed Rachel’s hesitant attitude toward him. Since that was the case, she was willing to take this opportunity to matchmake the two,
Hence, she really could not accept Miss Grey’s thanks.
They walked around for a while. Mrs. Brown looked at the time and said, “Miss Grey, it’s time to take your medicine. Sir specially instructed you to do so.”
“Okay.”
After taking medicine, Rachel returned to her room to rest.
When David returned from outside, he subconsciously searched for Rachel in the living room and asked calmly, “Where’s Rae–Rae? Has she taken her medicine?”
His ordinary tone was like a husband asking about his wife.
Mrs. Brown’s eyes were filled with an ambiguous smile. “Miss Grey is still resting in her room.”
David nodded slightly and said casually, “Remember to prepare a bland diet today.”
Without waiting for Mrs. Brown’s reply, he walked straight toward the stairs.
David loosened his tie and pushed open the door to Rachel’s room.
The room was dark, but his gaze instantly landed on Rachel, who was sleeping quietly on the bed.
Her black hair was scattered on the pillow, and her facial features looked like they had been drawn carefully by a painter. Even though she slept obediently, it could not hide her soul–stirring beauty.
The collar of her shirt was open, revealing the beautiful curve of her shoulders and neck. A large area of her fair skin was exposed to the air.
David’s eyes darkened slightly, and there was a faint restless desire in the depths of his eyes.
He casually threw the tie at the end of the bed, then unbuttoned his shirt collar and slowly walked forward.
He reached out and gently brushed away the hair on her face. Her curly eyelash slowly slid down and finally landed on her red lips.
The softness that belonged to her kept appearing in his mind.
His Adam’s apple bobbed up and down, and his eyes revealed strong desire.
Just as he could not help but lean down to feel the softness again, Rachel suddenly opened her eyes.
What greeted her eyes was David’s face right in front of her. His warm breath sprayed on her face, and his deep eyes seemed to have lit up with a flame so bright that it was soul–stirring.
Rachel seemed to be scalded. She sprang up from the bed in a panic and shrank back, putting some distance between them.
A hint of disappointment flashed across David’s eyes. He sat on the bed. “Do you still feel uncomfortable?”
“Much better.” Rachel raised her hand and tucked her hair behind her ear. Her gaze inadvertently landed on the slight cut on David’s hand.
Mrs. Brown’s words from earlier in the day surfaced in her mind. “It’s really funny that Mr. Jones was learning to cook porridge from me.” Hence, the cut should have been accidentally left behind when he was cooking.
She pursed her lips. “Is your hand… all right?”
David glanced at the cut on his hand and said without changing his expression, “I’m not very familiar with cooking for the first time. It hurt a little at first, but it’s much better now.”
“Do you need me to help you deal with it?” Rachel asked.
In fact, she only said that out of politeness, but David took advantage of it. “If you don’t mind.”
Rachel had to take the first aid kit and focus on applying disinfectant to his cut.
Her movements were very gentle with great care.
David looked at her eyelashes and reached out to touch them gently.
Her soft eyelashes fluttered like frightened butterflies, faintly tickling his fingers.
Rachel looked up at him. She could clearly feel his fingers slowly sliding down the corner of her eyes. They brushed past her jawline and cupped her face.
“Rae–Rae, I know I’m in your heart.”
It should have been a question, but David blurted it out with unprecedented certainty.
Rachel’s hand holding the disinfectant stopped in the air for a moment, and she lowered her eyes to hide the emotions in them. Then, she silently sped up and quickly packed up everything.
Just as she got up and was about to leave, David suddenly wrapped his arms around her waist from behind and rested his chin on her shoulder. His low and sexy voice slowly sounded. “Rae–Rae, what are you afraid of?”
