Rachel was really not used to Louis’s lecturing tone. Before he could finish speaking, she hung up.
She put the phone in her purse, took a deep breath, and turned to David, who was standing behind her. “Sorry to interrupt your meal.”
“Why are you apologizing?” David frowned. “You didn’t do anything wrong, did you?”
At the thought of returning to the Smith family to see Old Mr. Smith, an indescribable frustration rose in Rachel’s heart. There was a hint of absent–mindedness in her eyes.
“Do you want to go out for a walk?” David looked at her and extended his hand. “The night view is pretty good tonight.”
Rachel looked at the man’s outstretched hand and hesitated for a moment before slowly placing her hand on it. “Okay.”
As David said, the night was beautiful.
The crescent moon hung in the sky like a sickle. Under the cover of the clouds and the night sky, it gave off a cold feeling.
It was a stark contrast to the flamboyant Seaxas under the night sky.
The two of them strolled across the bridge hand in hand. People came and went on the street. Rachel shook off the man’s hand uncomfortably.
At this moment, there was a slight chill in the breeze. Rachel could not help but tremble. Then, the man’s suit jacket was draped over her shoulders.
Rachel was stunned for a moment. She looked up at the man and could not help but smile gently from the corner of her eyes.
This cold–looking man always knew what she needed at the right moment.
For example, on the day she broke up with Louis, she walked alone in the heavy rain. That jacket just eased her embarrassment. He said, “I think you need it now much more than I do.” And now he gave her his jacket that was just enough to make her feel warm.
The cold wooden fragrance exclusive to the man lingered in her nose, making her heart beat uncontrollably faster.
She could not help but tighten her coat and take a deep breath. She was a little lost in the smell that belonged to him. “David, what perfume are you wearing?”
The words that came out of her mouth made Rachel feel awkward.
She secretly bit her tongue and felt that she must have been in over her head just now. Otherwise, she could never say something so inappropriate like this.
Just as she was feeling vexed, she heard David’s low voice with a hint of a smile. “It’s custom–made. If you like it, I’ll get Eddie to send it to you tomorrow.”
Rachel lowered his eyes and said calmly, “Forget it. It’s not suitable for me.”
“How would you know if you don’t give it a try?” David seemed to have understood the deeper meaning in her words. The smile on her lips had a deeper meaning. “An honest lifestyle is to act according to one’s body’s wishes. Just like how people choose to eat when they’re hungry. There’s no need to lie when they are in love.”
Rachel’s eyes flickered slightly. “But who can guarantee that the temptation isn’t used to fill the emptiness and loneliness in one’s heart?”
David chose to put her question aside in silence. After a moment of silence, he said again, “Actually, I’ve always regarded you as an accident.”
“Accident?” Rachel’s slender brows furrowed slightly, and a trace of coldness seeped out from between her brows.
Since he only treated her as an accident, there was no need for him to barge into her life like this.
She wondered if he just wanted to make a fool of her, or if he just wanted to conquer her as a man.
David looked at the woman who turned around and left. He hurriedly chased after her. “Let go of me!” Rachel struggled with all her might.
David wrapped his arms around her waist forcefully. He was half gentle and half forceful as he pulled her into his arms. “You haven’t even heard me out.”
“I don’t think there’s more you have to say than I need to hear!” Rachel rejected his request without any hesitation. There was obvious anger in her tone.
It turned out that in his eyes, their relationship was just an accident.
Since that was the case, she didn’t know why he had to get involved in her life these days. “What about the dinner? What about the bunch of roses by the bed?” she thought.
“I didn’t expect to meet you, but I did. I never thought that I would fall in love with you, but I couldn’t stop falling in love with you. This is the accident in my eyes.” David sighed softly.
“I understand your timidity. I can see the sensitive soul in your heart. You don’t need to take the initiative to do anything for me. I’m willing to wait until you take the initiative to open your heart and accept me. I can be sure that you’re mine for the rest of your life!”
The man’s deep voice became gentle, like the gentleness of the spring breeze, like a mountain stream brushing past her heart, making Rachel’s heart beat wildly again.
She looked up at the man in front of her. The corners of his lips curled up into a smile, carrying an insufferably arrogant aura that he rarely showed.
She swallowed and struggled gently. “It’s getting late. I should go home now.”
“Get in the car. I’ll drive you home.”
When the two of them crossed the road, David quietly reached out and hugged her waist.
Rachel raised her eyebrows slightly and glanced at him indifferently.
It had to be said that David was really good at testing a woman.
She didn’t know how much longer she could hold on.
In the car, the man’s gaze was fixed on Rachel
However, Rachel did not seem to notice. She lowered her head and played on her phone. Occasionally, she would raise her hand to tuck her hair behind her ear
“Shall we have lunch together tomorrow? David suddenly asked
Rachel pondered for a moment I’m afraid not I have something very important to deal with tomorrow”
Upon hearing her words, David immediately understood that she was planning to personally go to the bidding in South Valley tomorrow
“Then another day?” David looked at her with furrowed brows
Rachel nodded “Sure”
Before she could finish speaking, the car suddenly braked violently
Rachel was caught off guard and fell forward Fortunately, David reacted quickly and grabbed her waist, firmly protecting her in his arms.
The man’s arms were tightly wrapped around Rachel’s shoulder, and her breath was filled with the man’s wooden fragrance
Her head was pressed against David’s warm chest, and her ears were filled with his strong heartbeat.
“Are you alright?” David’s deep voice sounded from above.
Rachel shook her head. “I’m fine.”
Just as she was about to withdraw from the man’s arms, her scalp seemed to be firmly grabbed by something.
“Don’t move.” David looked down at Rachel in his arms. Her furry head leaned against his chest, and her soft hair fell to the sides, revealing a slender neck. Her fair skin was faintly glowing, like a top–notch suet jade, making people want to pinch it to feel that unique exquisiteness. Her eyes became deeper and deeper, and her Adam’s apple rolled up and down. “Your hair is caught on a button.”
