    Chapter 598


    David’s eyes were dark, and there was a faint hostility in his eyes. “What do you mean?”


    Jimmy quickly corrected himself. “There will be no idents.”


    David replied indifferently, “Lock down all the news tonight. I don’t have to teach you what to do.”


    “Alright,” Jimmy replied.


    Suddenly, Jimmy thought of something and could not help but ask, “David, Rachel is the daughter of


    the Johnson family, the owner of mour Pavilion, and one of the founders of the Raimant Collection.


    She must have at least millions. Why did that idiot Louis take a fancy to the Cruise family girl?”


    These identities were worth a lot. Even 10 times the Cruise family would not bepatible, let alone


    one.


    How s*upid must the Smith family be to abandon Rachel and choose a brainless Olivia?


    David’s pitch-ck eyes were frosty, and the corners of his mouth curled into a faint smile. “Fate is


    indescribably wonderful.”


    Fortunately, Louis was s*upid.


    On the other end of the line, Jimmy felt like he had been caught off guard, And David was saying


    something about fate being indescribably wonderful. Jimmy did not expect to hear such pretentious


    words from David one day.


    David was about to hang up when Jimmy suddenly shouted, “David.”


    There were some words on the tip of his tongue, but Jimmy suddenly hesitated. After thinking for a


    moment, Jimmy finally said, “I shouldn’t say these things, but I still want to advise you to be less


    concerned about Rachel. Even if you care, you should restrain yourself.”


    “The Jones family. You know very well what kind of people they are. Those people are eyeing you


    covetously. All these years, they’ve been trying their best to find a way to deal with you. If they find out


    about Rachel’s existence, I’m worried…”


    Jimmy stopped talking at the right time. He sighed softly. “In short, what you do for Rachel might not be


    good for her.”


    No one knew better than David about what kind of existence the Jones family was.

    David pursed his thin lips slightly. His dark eyes seemed to be tempered with ice, murderous and


    dangerous.


    After hanging up, David returned to his bedroom.


    Rachel sat on a rattan chair on the balcony. The hem of her white nightdress fluttered in the wind.


    Rachel looked up at the endless sky, thinking about something.


    “There’s no moon tonight.” David handed Rachel the milk in his hand and draped the nket over


    Rachel’s shoulders before sitting on the seat beside her.


    Rachel held the hot milk in her hand and slowly lowered her eyes to hide the emotions in her eyes.


    “Yes, there’s no moon.”


    Rachel’s tone was indifferent, but there was an indescribable sadness in it that made one’s heart ache


    for her.


    David held one of Rachel’s hands. “I will always be by your side.”


    How could someone as smart as David not understand the deeper meaning behind Rachel’s words?


    But David would always be by Rachel’s side, unlike the moon.


    Hearing this, Rachel looked up at David. “Aren’t you curious at all?”


    David looked at Rachel. The coldness between David’s eyebrows faded a little, and a hint of


    gentleness. appeared. “If you want to talk about it, I’m willing to be your most loyal listener.”


    “David…” The corners of Rachel’s mouth curled into a helpless smile. “You make it difficult for me not


    to love you.”


    David had never pressed Rachel for anything. David would only hold Rachel’s hand and tell her that he


    was there for her when Rachel was in a deste mood. David would stay by Rachel’s side quietly.


    There were too many things about David that made Rachel fall for him. Rachel was willing to walk.


    through fire for him.


    Of course, Rachel knew that David would never allow that.


    Rachel held David’s hand back and gently rubbed her fingertips against the back of his hand as if to


    comfort him.


    “I’m fine. I just thought of some unpleasant people and things when I saw Thomas Tory’s attitude.”


    Rachel sighed slightly. “Give me a minute to adjust my emotions.”


    “You don’t have to be strong in front of me.” David pulled Rachel into his arms. “I’ll be your protector.


    Do whatever you want.”


    David’s deep and maic voice became gentle, showing endless pampering and indulgence. His


    voice was like soft silk wrapping around Rachel’s ears and her heart.


    Rachel looked at David with her almond-shaped eyes, sparkling with happiness. She leaned on David’s


    shoulder and looked at the few stars in the night sky. Rachel said calmly, “When I was young, I naively


    thought that people could be stars in the sky when they died. Butter, I understood that death is


    death. Dead people don’t be stars.”


    It was a lie used by adults to deceive children.


    And a lie was a lie. There was no kindness to speak of.


    “Have you heard of a saying?” David said, “As long as the living remember, the deceased will not


    leave. Perhaps she is guarding and apanying you in another parallel world. As long as you


    remember, she will never disappear.”


    Rachel’s eyshes fluttered slightly.


    As long as Rachel remembered it, she would never disappear.


    Rachel vaguely remembered that her mother loved gowns, liked flowers, but loved white tulips the


    most. Her mother liked to eat sweet food even when her teeth hurt. Her mother liked to listen to “My


    Heart Will Go On”, and…


    What else?


    Rachel pursed her lips and said in a low voice, “Then I definitely don’t love her enough.”


    Otherwise, how could Rachel not remember what she looked like?


    “Love has never had a standard answer or a clear rule, so don’t question yourself.” David leaned over


    and kissed Rachel’s forehead.


    Rachel slowly closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Rest early. After 12 o’clock tonight, you will be


    the birthday boy.”


    David raised his eyebrows slightly. There was a hint of interest in his eyes. “What surprise gift did you


    prepare for me?”


    “There’s definitely a gift.” Rachel slowly withdrew from David’s embrace and poked his chest with her


    fingertips. “As for whether it will surprise you, I don’t know.”


    David chuckled. “Now that you mention it, I’m even more curious about what my gift is.”


    Looking at Rachel’s back as she left, David quickly caught up to her and bent down to carry her


    h*rizontally.


    Rachel eximed and instinctively h*oked her arm around David’s neck.


    “Disclose some information in advance?” David looked down at Rachel.


    Rachel raised her eyebrows slightly. “If I told you, you wouldn’t be looking forward to it.”


    Rachel paused for a moment. “But I advise you not to have too much hope, lest you get disappointed.”


    “That makes sense,” David said.


    Rachel could vaguely smell a faint scent on David’s body.


    It was the smell of a woman’s perfume.


    Rachel moved closer to David’s neck and sniffed carefully.


    Rachel’s warm breath sprayed on the skin of his neck, making David itch uncontrobly. David’s arms


    that were hugging Rachel could not help but tighten.


    David’s dark eyes were deep, and his cold voice was mixed with a hint of s*xy h*arseness. “What do


    you smell?”


    “The smell of a woman’s perfume,” said Rachel.

    Upon hearing this, an imperceptible coldness shed across David’s eyes. “I must have caught it at the


    venue.”


    “Then quickly wash it off,” Rachel said as she broke free from David’s embrace and pushed him


    towards. the bathroom. “I don’t want to sleep with the smell of other women.”
