Chapter 705


    Chapter 705


    In Peckham Pce, the huge living room was already filled with people.


    Rachel and Mary sat on the sofa, and Rachel poured a ss of hot water and handed it to Mary. “Drink


    some water first.”


    Mary slowly reached out to take the ss of water and stiffly took a sip.


    Although Mary was used to being spoiled, this was the first time in her life that she had been


    kidnapped.


    Mary had even had a bomb tied to her body by the kidnappers. It would be impossible for her to not


    have any trauma from this incident.


    Rachel could tell that Mary was behaving stiffly and reached out to touch her cheek. “Let’s go. I’ll take


    you back to your room to change your clothes first.”


    Mary was still wearing dirty clothes.


    After the two of them left, Landon watched them disappear before he turned to look at Jimmy. “What do


    you n to do?”


    Jimmy was smoking as he sat on the sofa sullenly. Smoke swirled in front of him. “We’ll cross that


    bridge when wee to it. Why are you thinking so much now?”


    Seeing that he was frustrated, Landon changed the topic, raising his eyebrows at David. “By the way,


    what happened today?”


    “That’s right.” Jimmy dusted off the cigarette ash from his fingertips. “Why did that bas*ard Nathan


    kidnap Mary of all people?”


    If it were someone else, Jimmy wouldn’t be sighing with worry now.


    Usually, no matter how Jimmy yed the fool outside, the main family would turn a blind eye.


    After all, although no one said it aloud, everyone knew very well that as the next head of the Shain


    family, Jimmy had no say in his marriage.


    But now, Mary had suddenly ‘descended upon Aureliana. The family would think that Jimmy had done


    this on purpose.


    It was not beneficial to him or Mary!


    With this in mind, Jimmy put out the cigarette in his hand, ced the cigarette in the ashtray, and


    cursed softly.


    Looking at his troubled face, Landon was no longer in the mood to tease him.


    Landon turned to look at Vulture and ckhawk, who were in the dining room, with a faint smile on his


    lips. “Don’t you two have anything to say?”


    Vulture and ckhawk were stunned as the attention moved toward them, and they looked at each


    other..


    Vulture fiddled with his phone and walked towards them. “What do you want to know?”


    Landon took out a cigarette and threw it toward him. “Of course, everything you know.”


    Vulture nimbly caught the cigarette and sniffed it, looking up at Landon with an intriguing smile.


    In the second-floor bedroom, Mary followed behind Rachel closely like she was Rachel’s tail.

    Rachel sighed softly but didn’t say anything.


    Rachel filled the bathtub and tested the water temperature before she turned to look at Mary following


    behind her. “The water is ready. Take a good bath, and I’ll find you a change of clothes.”


    Mary nodded.


    However, when Rachel turned to leave, Mary instinctively grabbed Rache’s wrist. “You… You…”


    Rachel saw through her immediately and held Mary’s hand. “Don’t worry, I won’t leave.”


    “Okay.” Mary nodded heavily, took a deep breath, and walked towards the bathroom.


    Mary was the Green family’s only daughter. She was loved by everyone and had always been the


    apple of Kyle’s eye. This was her first time experiencing a kidnapping.


    Rachel didn’t know how Mary had even survived the kidnapping.


    At this thought, Rachel sighed deeply, a sense of guilt instantly engulfing her.


    If it wasn’t for her, Mary wouldn’t have been kidnapped and brought here, let alone encounter such a


    terrifying experience.


    Rachel collected her thoughts and walked into the cloakroom to choose a suitable outfit for Mary. After


    getting everything ready, Rachel headed out to the kitchen to prepare some food for Mary. As Rachel


    walked out, she turned and bumped into a firm and warm chest.


    Before Rachel could react, the man wrapped his arm around her waist and pressed her against the


    wall. However, his hand protected Rachel’s back, afraid she would bump into the wall.


    The warm light in the corridor fell on him, making it look as if he was surrounded by a faintyer of


    golden light that warmed the sharpness and indifference around him.


    “Why are you here?” Rachel looked at the man in front of her with gentle eyes. Her fair fingers gently


    brushed past his chin and unbuttoned the first button of his shirt.


    David held her hand and stepped forward, pressing his chest against her. His dark eyes were like a


    bottomless coldke, and his cold voice was slightly hoarse. “Why did you act on your own?”


    “I didn’t want you to be distracted.” Rachel looked up at him and ced her arms naturally across his


    shoulders. “This family banquet was very important to you. I can’t disturb you for a small matter.”


    Rachel did not want to be a burden to David.


    Rachel also couldn’t ept that she had be David’s weakness that others used against him.


    Such an answer was uneptable to David.


    David frowned slightly and stared at her with his dark eyes, his tone serious. “Rachel Grey, you’re far


    more important than anything else to me”


    “I know,” Rachel said. “But I’ve already caused you trouble just by being here. I…”


    Before she could finish her sentence, David leaned over and pressed his lips onto hers with a kiss,


    forcing her to swallow the unfinished words.


    David held the back of her head with his palm, his other hand holding her chin, not giving her any way


    to escape.


    David’s kiss was domineering and aggressive, robbing her of her breath.


    Rachel’s hands were curled up slightly as her fingers wrapped around the cor of his shirt tightly.


    Just as Rachel’s tongue was almost numb, David suddenly changed his domineering attitude and


    kissed her gently.


    It was like the gentle caress of flowing water.


    However, there seemed to be a small h**k that h**ked her sensitive heartstrings.


    After the kiss, Rachel leaned against his shoulder, breathing heavily.


    Rachel’s fair cheeks had a delicate blush, and the corners of her eyes glistened. It was easy to sink


    into her eyes with just one look.


    David raised his hand and gently stroked Rachel’s face, his fingers gently caressing the corners of her


    eyes. “Let her leave with Jimmy tonight.”


    It was just a suggestion, but Rachel understood what David was trying to say.


    Rachel pursed her lips. “I’m afraid not.”


    Based on how Mary was, Rachel wasn’t sure that Jimmy could take good care of Mary.


    Rachel looked at David and reached out to gently stroke his eyebrows with her fingertips, speaking


    slowly, “Mary was kidnapped because of me. She’s unfamiliar with this ce. I shouldn’t be letting


    anyone else. take care of her.”


    Even if Mary didn’t say anything and tried her best to act normal, Rachel knew Mary must be extremely


    scared.


    “I think I need to apany her and counsel her,” Rachel said.


    Hearing her reasonable analysis, David’s lips curled into a helpless smile.


    David pressed Rachel’s earlobe between his fingertips. “Don’t fiancés need psychological counseling


    too?”
