Betrayal At The Altar

Chapter 751

Soon, the three rounds of shooting ended, and Rachel won with a slight advantage.

She took off her ear protectors and walked over to David. “Mr. Jones, you’ve lost.”

The woman was in high spirits. Her exquisite eyebrows were slightly raised, and they were curved at the right angle, making her eye-catching face even more dazzling.

David’s gaze darkened. He took off his ear protectors and threw them on the table before walking toward Rachel.

Rachel thought that she would receive a compliment, but the man grabbed the back of her head, leaned over, and kissed her lips.

Caught off guard, Rachel’s eyes revealed a trace of panic. She subconsciously reached out and pushed his chest.

The two of them had done many intimate things in private, but that was only in private. There was no audience present.

Kissing passionately in front of others made Rachel feel a little awkward.

However, David had wrapped his strong arms tightly around her waist, preventing her from breaking free.

Compared to the domineering kisses in the past, this time, it was more gentle. It was as if he was comforting and pitying her.

After the kiss, Rachel’s fair cheeks were dyed with an unnatural blush.

She grabbed David’s shirt with both hands and buried her head in his chest, breathing heavily.

After a long while, she sneakily raised her head and glanced at David. At the same time, she wiped the saliva on her lips on his shirt.

David noticed her small actions but did not stop her. Instead, he looked at her lovingly and said in a low and magnetic voice, “I’m sorry.”

He could not hold it in just now and forgot that there was someone else NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

beside him.

“Do you still want to play?” He gently rubbed his well-defined fingers against her cheek.

Hearing this, Rachel could not help but raise her eyebrows. There was a trace of a smile at the corner of her eyes. “Aren’t you afraid of losing?”

David looked at the stunning face in front of her. His Adam’s apple bobbed as he forcefully suppressed the restless thoughts in the depths of his heart. “It’s not embarrassing to lose to you.”

Rachel casually said, “But there’s only the two of us. It’s a little boring if we just lose to each other.”

It was more fun to have more people.

David seemed to have seen through her thoughts. “Why don’t we call them over to play with you?”

“Alright.” Rachel happily agreed.

Looking at David’s indulgence, she could not help but feel a little strange.

Why did she feel that David was trying to make her happy tonight?

Did he know that today was her birthday?

The competition suddenly became interesting with the addition of Billy, Chris, and Eddie.

Hearing the gunshots, the memories of her time with the Red Flame Army surfaced in Rachel’s mind. She gradually forgot the shroud around her heart.

After the shooting ended, Rachel was still the final winner.

“Do you want to see fireworks?”

“Fireworks?” Rachel looked at him in surprise.

She thought, “Why didn’t I hear anything about that before?”

David pinched her chin with his thumb and index finger. He gently caressed her swollen lips with his fingers as he said. “It was a last-minute decision. Are you interested?”

Rachel did not want to waste David’s good intentions. She hesitated for half a second before nodding and agreeing. “Let’s go.”

The two of them walked hand in hand to the top floor.

David gave Eddie a look. The latter instantly understood and gave the order.

The fireworks were lit at the set moment.

Dazzling fireworks bloomed brilliantly in front of everyone’s eyes for a moment. After leaving behind a moment of beauty, they dissipated like smoke, scattering with the wind.

The fireworks show lasted for 48 minutes. At 8:21 p.m., the show ended with a “Happy Birthday”.

The last line of blessing was not signed by David, but by “everyone who loves you”.

The fireworks were fleeting, but it set off a wave of emotion in Rachel’s heart. She could not calm down for the longest time.

Rachel’s throat felt like it was stuffed with a ball of cotton. She felt a tinge

of sourness in her nose.

It turned out that everything was not her imagination.

David’s actions tonight were indeed to make her happy.

Not only because today was her birthday, but also because he knew that today was the anniversary of her mother’s death.

He chose to celebrate her birthday in this way, using “everyone who loves you” to encompass her mother’s blessings.

She stood rooted to the ground and did not speak for a long time. She just stood there and stared at the dark sky.

Sensing that something was wrong with her mood, David frowned

imperceptibly.

He reached out and held Rachel’s slightly cold fingertips. There was a rare trace of nervousness and worry in the depths of his eyes. “What’s wrong?”

He thought, “Didn’t they say that girls loved surprises?

“Why did Rachel have such a reaction?”

Rachel looked down. The corners of her eyes were slightly red. After pondering for a long time, she slowly walked forward and leaned her head in David’s arms. Her cold voice was a little low. “Today is my birthday and the anniversary of my mother’s death.”

David gently caressed the top of her head with his palm. His deep and cold voice softened. “I know.”

Upon hearing this answer, Rachel could no longer control the tears in her

eyes.

She did not cry out loud, but she bit her lip and cried silently, like a sensible child who was afraid that her cries would bring trouble to the people.

around her.

However, this sensibility made one’s heart ache.

David did not say anything to comfort her. He only caressed her back with his palm as if he was comforting her.

After some time, Rachel stopped crying. She looked up at David and said, “Let’s go back.”,

David responded. His gaze could not help but turn cold when he saw her eyes, which had turned red and swollen from crying.

He had wanted to create a surprise to make Rachel forget her unhappiness, but he did not expect to make her cry instead.

The two of them left the top floor hand in hand without a word.

When she walked into the elevator, she looked at the three people following behind her. “You guys use the elevator next door.”

She mercilessly closed the elevator door as she spoke.

David looked at Rachel with a dark glint in his eyes. “What are you trying to

do?”

Before he could finish speaking, Rachel grabbed his tie and pulled him down. She held his cheek with her palm and kissed him.

She replayed the scene of David kissing her again and again in her mind, trying to extract the essence from it.

However, her initiative only lasted for a few seconds before David took over.

However, for David, her initiative had already surpassed everything else.

He picked Rachel up and pressed her against the wall of the elevator.

The passionate kiss gradually burned away their rationality. The lust-filled atmosphere gradually exuded from the two of them and filled the narrow space in the elevator.

The man’s palm landed on her slender waist. She could vaguely feel the heat of his palm through the thin material of her clothes.

Rachel placed her hands on his shoulders.

When the elevator dinged, the blank look in Rachel’s eyes instantly dissipated.
