Betrayal At The Altar (Rachel and David)
Chapter 181

Chapter 181

The pair were sitting on rattan chairs when Rachel’s phone suddenly rang. When she saw the messagefrom David, her lips curled into a smile.

Lucas looked at the smile on her lips and was slightly dazed.

He still remembered how Rachel looked when she first came to the Johnson family.

She was as skinny as a kitten, and her eyes were filled with panic and uneasiness.

She was not as delicate as other girls who were like little princesses. Or rather, the encounters she hadhad when she was young made her more sensible than other girls her age.

She was independent and strong. She never said anything when she was wronged, afraid that shewould bring trouble to others. She was so sensible that it made one’s heart ache.

At that time, Lucas had sworn to himself that he would dote on this sister of his. As long as she asked,he would move heaven and earth for her.

He had never felt that Rachel was a burden. He even enjoyed her following him around.

Until five years ago, when they were attacked overseas.

From then on, Rachel seemed to have become a different person. She kept quiet about what hadhappened that night.

Their relationship was closer than before, but he also sensed a hint of coldness in the marrow ofRachel’s bones.

“Rae–Rae, have you ever regretted it?” Lucas‘ frosty voice was slightly hoarse.

Rachel looked at him and smiled. “There’s no regret in the adult world. You can only strive to moveforward.”

When Lucas heard her answer, his lips twitched silently.

“Lucas, do you know David Jones?” Rachel went straight to the point.

Lucas‘ probing gaze landed on her. After staring at her for a moment, he lowered his eyes to concealhis emotions. “I don’t know him. I’ve only

heard some rumors about him. It’s said that he came from a country that we can’t touch. This placeexists independently and doesn’t belong to any country or institution in this world.”

Rachel had always known that this world was not as simple as it seemed.

When she heard that Lucas had something to say, she was still curious and shocked.

At this moment, Lucas‘ voice sounded faintly. “Rae–Rae, stay away from him. He’s not a good person.”

Rachel looked up at Lucas. Without saying a word, she raised her head and took a sip of beer.

Not a good person…

However, no one in this world had ever clearly distinguished between good and bad people, right?

Everyone had a scale in their hearts. When the other end of the scale was tied to the person theyloved, the scale had already shifted unknowingly.

David was such a person for Rachel.

However, the more the people around her kept quiet about him and reminded her to stay away fromhim, the more she wanted to investigate.

She wanted to know what kind of soul was hidden under his exquisite skin.

Lucas looked at the silent Rachel, and the expression in his eyes could not help but turn cold. “Rae–Rae, did you hear what I said!”

There was a hint of stern warning in his icy voice.

Rachel glanced at him. Sensing the aura lingering around him, she smiled. “Got it.”

Eleven o’clock at night.

Rachel tossed and turned in bed. Lucas‘ words echoed in her ears… “Came from a country that wecan’t touch.”

What kind of existence was that?

Driven by curiosity, Rachel opened her phone to search ‘David Jones

Unsurprisingly, a blank page popped up: I’m sorry, no information related to ‘David Jones‘ could befound.

Rachel raised her eyebrows slightly. “You’re quite mysterious.”

She exited the page and went to Whatsapp. The chat box with David stopped at the last message hehad sent. [Rest early. Don’t miss me.]

Rachel Grey curled her lips and lay on the bed with a sigh.

So this was what it felt like to miss someone.
