Chapter 31


    David’s deep and maic voice, which had hints of tenderness and ambiguous intimacy used only


    between lovers, caused Rachel’s heart to tremble.


    She pursed her lips and gazed into David’s unfathomable eyes.

    David’s lips curved into a meaningful smile. His eyes had a mysterious depth that Rachel could not


    discern. “Would you like to spend the night with me?” he asked.


    Rachel forcefully withdrew her hand. Her charming face instantly


    became cold. It looked as if ayer of ice had formed on it, causing her to emanate a chilling aura.


    “David, you have no sense of propriety,” Rachel said. “We are nowhere near the level where we can


    share a bed together.”


    “I thought youing to my room was a hint toward something,” David said. His smile grew more


    pronounced after seeing the anger on Rachel’s alluring face. “Moreover, it’ste at night, and we are


    alone. Don’t forget that I’m a normal man.”


    It was inevitable to have some wild thoughts.


    Upon hearing David’s remarks, the anger in Rachel’s chest dissipated instantly. A trace of surprise and


    indescribable embarrassment appeared on her face. “Did you, um, say this is your room?” she asked.


    Seeing her surprised expression, a sh of understanding passed through David’s pupils. It seemed


    that he had made a mistake and unintentionally dashed the hopes of someone who cared for him


    deeply.


    It was no wonder the Old Mrs. Jones kept reminding him to stay there when he was on his way.


    It turned out that not only had Rachel be part of Old Mrs. Jones’s n, but he also had.


    He knew that Old Mrs. Jones was eager for a grandchild, but being too hasty might backfire.


    David furrowed his brows and spoke in a calm tone. “If you don’t mind, I will sleep in the next room


    tonight,” he said.

    Chapter 31


    “I’ll sleep in the next room,” Rachel said. David generously offered the room to her, showing his


    gentlemanly demeanor. However, she still felt a bit uneasy.


    After she spoke, she hurriedly turned around and left.


    However, David suddenly reached out and stopped her. His arm blocked her way. He was enveloped in


    the scent of wood. He slightly lowered his body to trap Rachel in his arms. His eyes, as dark as ink,


    gazed directly at the woman in his arms. “Rae–Rae, what is the nature of our rtionship now?” he


    asked.


    They were in close proximity. Their breaths mixed together. They could even hear each other’s


    heartbeats.


    Rachel lifted her gaze, and their eyes met inevitably. There seemed to be a cluster of mes in the


    depths of David’s eyes. His eyes were particrly enticing.


    Her heart was beating uncontrobly. She frowned and lowered her head in silence.


    “Hmm?” David looked at Rachel’s pursed lips. His deep ck eyes could not help but be a little


    hot. His maic voice, which was mixed with a hint of hoarseness, prated her ears. “Rae–Rae,


    can you answer me?” he asked.


    Rachel’s earlobes felt like they were burning, and there was a brief moment of numbness.


    She took a deep breath, trying to ignore the heat on her face, and pretended to be calm. “David,


    everything requires a gradual process,” she said. “Achieving something too quickly may make people


    fail to cherish it.”


    “So?” David raised an eyebrow and looked at her with great interest.


    Rachel’s eyshes trembled in a panic, but she forced herself to remain calm and said, “Didn’t you say


    before that pursuing a woman requires giving 100 percent sincerity; learning to be humble, proactive,


    and considerate; and, most importantly, beingmitted to one person? How could you forget what


    you said?”


    Suddenly, lowughter flowed from David’s throat. It was like the enchanting sound produced by a


    cello. “So it turns out that Rae–Rae likes and enjoys being pursued by me,” he said.


    Rachel was left speechless.
