Chapter 613


    Rachel did not know why, but she felt a little uneasy when she saw Annalee, though Annalee had


    always struck her as an amiable elder.


    When she just started dating William, she had asked several times to meet his parents, but each


    time he refused her for a different reason.


    Therefore, when Annalee showed up, she had a bad feeling. "Auntie, if you have anything to say,


    just say it."


    "Rachel, I remember when you first came to my house, you weren''t even as tall as my waist. You


    and William are sort of childhood sweethearts, right?" Annalee sat down and began to chat.


    Rachel felt less nervous. "Yes. Back then, people said I was his little tail. William''s been taking care


    of me since we were kids, and I love being with him."


    "You''re as cute as ever, and you''re a big star now. I''ve seen every one of your shows."


    "Auntie, that means a lot. But I am no longer a star now. I just want to be a normal person and live a


    normal life." Rachel thought of her child, and gave a gentle smile.

    "Yeah, and I read the news about you."


    "Auntie, the news is just a load of crap..." Rachel tried to exin.


    "Rachel, I don''t care if it''s true. I just want to know what''s your rtionship with William." Annalee


    changed the subject, and Rachel''s expression changed slightly.


    Annalee was still smiling, but Rachel had no idea what she was thinking.


    She replied cautiously, "Auntie, William and I are a couple now. I wish you can..."


    Annalee interrupted her. "Rachel, didn''t you marry Sean? I remember I went to your wedding


    before. Your wedding seems so recent, and you''re telling me you''re with William now? Are you


    serious?"


    Annalee had a way with words. She didn''t directly object to Rachel being with William, but her


    question was like a knife to Rachel''s heart.


    On the surface, this question was just out of curiosity, but it was actually a tough question to answer.


    If Rachel said she was serious, Annalee would ask why she married Sean before. If she said she


    wasn''t serious, she was doomed.


    Rachel bit her lip and thought about how to answer this question. Annalee did not urge her.


    "Auntie, I don''t want to hide anything from you. I married Sean because I thought he was the one.


    "The thing is, he doesn''t love me at all. I met William at the saddest time, and he showed me that he


    was the best person for me.


    "My marriage to Sean was a sham. I didn''t get out of that hell until William showed up. Now, all I


    want is to stay by William''s side forever."


    "Rachel, I shouldn''t have interfered with your rtionship with William, but what you just said kind of


    confuses me."


    "What do you mean, Auntie?"


    "I don''t think people are as loyal as they used to be. You loved Sean and now you love William,


    right?


    "But it took you years to realize Sean wasn''t the right one. How can you be so sure William is?


    "You hadn''t talked to William for a long time before you met him again, had you? What if one day


    you meet another man and find out that he is the one?"


    "Auntie, that''s not gonna happen. I was crazy about Sean because I was young. Now, as a mature


    woman, I know who I really love.


    "I''m not gonna love anyone but William. Auntie, trust me. Didn''t you like me very much when I was


    young?" Rachel grabbed Annalee''s hand and said anxiously.


    She finally knew what Annalee meant. Annalee wanted to stop her from marrying William.


    At the moment, Rachel was as desperate as a beggar. However, there was a hint of disgust in


    Annalee''s seemingly gentle eyes.


    Seeing this, Rachel felt as if her heart had been crushed by a huge rock.


    "Rachel, you came from a rich and powerful family. You should know people are always watching


    us.


    "Let me be clear. If you didn''t have all those scandals, and you weren''t married to Sean, I wouldn''t


    object to you being with William.


    "You know, William''s grandparents are prim and proper. They would never ept a divorced


    woman.


    "The Turner family is not the most outstanding family, but it does have a ce in the upper sses.


    William is my only son, and his wife is gonna be in the spotlight.


    "Rachel, you''re a smart girl, and I''m sure you know what I mean. Shouldn''t you do what''s best for


    William if you really love him? You want him to lose his reputation because of you?


    "You know how much he loves perfume. He''d been refusing to take over the family business for his


    perfume. But what did he get?


    "Aplete failure. I wouldn''t bring it up if it were on him. I looked into it. He lost to Tracey because


    of you, right?"


    "Yes, but..." Rachel wanted to exin. At that time, she was just trying to use William. She knew


    that her scandals might affect him, but she did not care.


    If it weren''t for her, William and Tracey wouldn''t have be enemies, and Tracey wouldn''t have


    gone to the United States. William''s perfume wouldn''t have been dyed and dyed and turned


    out to be a failure.


    "You don''t have to exin yourself. I didn''t mean to me you. I just don''t think you and William are


    the right couple. Think about it.


    "Look at your pale face. Have a good rest. I should get going. I''ve got ns."


    "Auntie, take care," Rachel said as she gently caressed her belly. What would the Turners do if they


    found out she was pregnant?


    A mood of mncholy descended on Rachel. "God, are you punishing me?"
