Chapter 22


    Chapter 22


    “Look at your silly look.” It sounded like Adrian was expressing his disgust for Rachel, but his gaze


    toward her was full of doting. As he spoke, he raised his hand to ruffle her soft hair.


    “I’m not silly at all.” Rachel pushed Adrian’s hand on her head away and led him toward the sofa.


    With his inquisitive gaze on Rachel and the man, Louis blurted out his question in a cold voice, “What is


    your rtionship with him!”


    Hearing Louis’s voice, Rachel stopped smiling and swept her cold gaze toward him before asking


    sternly, “Why haven’t you left yet?”


    “Answer me! What is your rtionship?” Louis, with his darkened expression, questioned again in a


    frosty voice as if he had caught his wife in adultery and wanted to figure out what was happening.


    Rachel’s delicate face shed with mockery, and with a snort, she answered, “Mr. Smith, who are you?


    Do you have the right to question me?”


    “I…” Louis opened his mouth. He was about to refute Rachel’s words but found himself speechless


    even after racking his brain.


    Rachel’s lips curved into a sarcastic smile, and she sneered, “Mr. Smith, please get out of here!”


    Hearing the cold voice, Louis pursed his lips and left with Olivia’s hand in his after looking Adrian up


    and down.


    However, he uncontrobly turned back and took a scrutinizing look at Rachel when he reached the


    door. There were mixed feelings in his dark and indiscernible eyes.


    The moment Louis and Olivia stepped out of the ward, Rachel mmed the door of the ward with a


    bang.


    ncing at the closed door in front of her and Louis‘ sullen look, Olivia had a hint of coldness in her


    eyes. She then remarked lightly, “Rachel is really attracted to guys, unlike me. I have no male friends


    around except you.”


    Seeing Louis’s cold face and his tightly pursed lips, Olivia decided to change the topic. “That man


    doesn’t look young. Have you seen him


    before? Do you know who he is?”


    Louis’s brows frowned slightly. With an inexplicable look in his eyes, he answered casually, “Maybe it’s


    her previous partner.”


    “I see,” Olivia responded slowly and got lost in thought.


    At this time, in the ward, Mary darted a look at Rachel and said tactfully, “Since you have someone to


    apany you, I’ll leave first.”


    With that, Mary nodded at Adrian and got up to leave with her bag in her hand.


    Finally, only Rachel and Adrian were left in the spacious ward.


    Adrian put down the ss of water on the table and took the lead in asking, “Is that man you wanted to


    marry three years ago despite the opposition of your family?”

    Adrian’s cold voice didn’t reveal his expression, but it inexplicably struck terror into Rachel’s heart.


    Rachel hesitated for half a second and nodded.


    “That man doesn’t seem like a nice guy!” Adrian grunted in disgust. He had thought of how to teach


    Rachel a lesson beforeing to her.


    However, watching Rachel standing there ill at ease, he didn’t have the heart to criticize her. Later, he


    sighed helplessly. “Didn’t you regret devoting yourself to such a scum instead of living a free and easy


    life as a princess?”


    “Yes, I did.” Rachel arched her eyebrows and showed a big pleasing smile before passing the ss of


    water to Adrian. She then said in a cute voice, “Adrain, please don’t be angry about it.”


    Adrian raised his eyebrows. He reached out to take the ss and


    answered with a serious look, “You are the Johnson family’s apple of the eye. How can I get mad at


    you?”


    It was known to everyone that the daughter of the richest family in Seaxas, the Johnson family, was


    adored by her family although no outsiders knew her exact name.


    Old Mr. Johnson loved her so much that he would like to fulfill all her wishes. The two young masters of


    the Johnson family also treated her as their hearts.


    Perhaps it was because Adrian was only 11 years older than Rachel, Rachel was more rxed and


    reckless in front of Adrian than Tom.


    She held and shook Adrian’s arm like a spoiled child before saying softly, “Well, Adrian, I know I was


    wrong. Please don’t get angry…”


    “Rachel, you are not foolish. Why did you take the bull by the horns on marrying that man?” Adrian


    couldn’t help ming Rachel at the thought of Louis’s phndering appearance. “Ask yourself. How


    could that scum of the Smith family be worthy of you? I have no idea how that guy enchanted you!”


    Thinking that Rachel had cut off contact with the Johnson family for such scum, Adrian was filled with


    bitterness and pulled a long face.


    He yed with the ss in his hand. A trace of mixed emotions shed in his dark eyes as he said


    casually, “It is thanks to you that the Smith Group seeded in oveing its crisis and is rising


    rapidly, right?“
