Chapter 211
He had just finished dealing with matters in Odrax and learned that Rachel had participated in the
anniversary celebration alone.
He could not care about anything else at the moment. He only wanted to try his best to return to her
side and protect her.
Although he knew that Rachel might not be at a disadvantage, he could not help but worry.
Rachel looked at the man lying on the bed and frowned slightly.
Even though he had fallen asleep, his brows were still filled with fatigue. She lightened her footsteps
and gently covered him with a nket.
When she got up, she stared at the man’s face without blinking. She pursed her lips and leaned
forward to kiss the corner of his lips.
The kiss was like a stone thrown into a calmke. It easily caused ripples in David’s heart.
His brows moved slightly, but he finally suppressed the urge to open his
eyes.
However, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and there was a faint smile on his lips.
When he heard Rachel leave, he remained silent for a few seconds before slowly opening his eyes.
He pulled the nket to his chest and touched the corner of his lips with his thumb. There seemed to
be a lingering taste and warmth of her on it.
He suddenly regretted not opening his eyes.
“This is worth me not sleeping for almost twenty hours.”
The next morning.
Rachel opened her eyes and instinctively picked up her phone to check the unread messages.
Suddenly, she thought of something and stood up abruptly. She lifted the nket and walked out of the
room barefooted.
David was no longer on the sofa in the living room.
‘He just left like that?” she thought.
That man was really unpredictable.
She suspected he wanted to take advantage of the situation, but there was nothing wrong with his
actions. He kept a distance from her and never crossed the line.
He looked domineering, yet he maintained a respectful distance in every aspect and was humble and
polite.
Rachel walked to the sofa and sat down. Her fingertips quickly tapped on the phone as she sent a
message to David. “You left?”
After a while, David replied, “I made breakfast. Remember to warm it up if it’s cold.”
“Thank you,” Rachel said.
David replied, “I prefer to express my gratitude with actions.”
Rachel smiled resignedly. She threw her phone on the sofa and walked into the kitchen.
After eating, she got up and changed her clothes before leaving.
However, when she walked into the elevator, she was surprised to find that the house opposite seemed
to have a new door, and there was a new surveince camera installed above the door.
Rachel’s floor had the best geographical environment in the
neighborhood, so the housing price had always been the highest within the neighborhood.
Ever since she moved there, the house opposite had been unupied. She did not expect to wee
a new neighbor so soon.
Moreover, if she remembered correctly, she did not see any action in the house the day before.
The elevator reached, and Rachel retracted her curious gaze and walked in.
She took out her phone and browsed through the news on Twitter.
After the exposure the day before, it was no surprise that Olivia, who was
away from the spotlight, gained a lot of poprity and attention.
Although the Cruise family tried their best to remove the trending topic, it was useless.
The intimate photos of Olivia and Louis on the Inte went viral. They were all reposted by various
ounts with many followers. Moreover, a few people in the know described everything that happened
at the banquet vividly.
As a result, the posts were filled with curses against them.
“As a public figure, she became a third wheel knowingly! We must cancel such a person!”
“She has the image of a pure and innocent girl but is doing the dirty work of a bitch. It’s so fucking
disgusting!”
“Fortunately, the girlfriend isn’t a romantic. Otherwise, she really needs to wake up!”Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.
