Betrayal At The Altar

Chapter 51

David didn’t seem to be in a hurry to eat. Instead, he picked up a King crab from the middle of the table and cut off its legs skillfully with a knife.

It was not easy to get the crab meat out of its shell, and one might look a bit rude while doing it.

That was also why Rachel chose not to eat it though she loved it.

David held the silver knife and fork with his slender and well–defined fingers. His every move was elegant and pleasant to the eye.

When Rachel shifted her gaze, she found that a peeled crab leg was placed on her plate. “Thank you.” Rachel lowered her head to enjoy the crab and tried to hide the surprise in her eyes. Then, she looked up and glanced at David, saying, “You seem to know me well.” Hearing Rachel’s words, David raised his head, his eyes fixed on Rachel’s fair and delicate face. Then, he said with a faint smile, “It’s easy to know someone.”

“Did you investigate me?” Rachel narrowed her eyes, and there was a trace of imperceptible coldness deep in her eyes.

David smiled faintly and took a sip of wine. Then, in a deep and charming voice, he said, “You are right in front of me, and what you said should be more credible. Besides, I don’t need to know about you from others.” Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

After Rachel heard David’s words, the coldness in her eyes faded a little. Her red lips curled into a slight smile as she looked at David meaningfully. “Mr. Jones, what have you learned about me?”

“Your soft heart behind your aloof appearance.” David put down the wine glass in his hand and stared straight at Rachel opposite him, his eyes filled with a rare gentleness. “Miss Grey, I hope to learn more

about you. I wonder whether you are willing to give me a chance.” A soft heart behind an aloof appearance…

Rachel had met David for only a few days, yet she didn’t expect him to know her so well.

On the contrary, although Louis had been with Rachel for three years, Rachel felt that he barely understood her.

Initially, Rachel thought that it was because three years may not be enough for Louis, and he just needed more time.

However, it seemed that David was right. It was easy to know about someone else as long as he wanted to.

Rachel took a deep breath to suppress the depression in her heart. She looked up at David, who raised his wine glass toward her and sincerely asked her for a chance. In the end, she toasted him across the table and said, “Mr. Jones, I hope you won’t regret your choice.”

“I won’t. Time will help me prove it to you.”

After the meal, they left the restaurant. David proposed to send Rachel home.

Seeing that David insisted on it, Rachel could only agree. So she stood at the roadside and

waited patiently for David to drive the car over. Meanwhile, she sent a message to her driver and told him not to pick her up.

Olivia happened to walk out from another restaurant not far away and saw Rachel at a glance. In an instant, a hint of coldness flashed across Olivia’s eyes. “Louis, look! Rachel should be waiting for a taxi there. Why don’t we send her home?”

Olivia acted like a spoiled child, and Louis looked at her dotingly. “She won’t agree to take our car. So you’d better not provoke her.”

Olivia felt a little upset and lowered her eyes. “It’s so late, and I’m just worried that a girl like her would be in danger if she went home alone. Since you don’t want to see her, just forget it and pretend not to see her.”

Olivia said with an ingratiating smile. Louis couldn’t help but feel pity for her. He sighed and compromised. “If you insist on it, you can go ask her. I want to go to the parking lot and get the car.”

“Okay!” Olivia put on a bright smile. “Louis, I know you love me most.”

After Louis turned and left, the smile on Olivia’s face disappeared immediately.

Olivia walked toward Rachel step by step and looked at Rachel’s unguarded back, her eyes carrying a fierce viciousness.
