Chapter 725

Chapter 725However, Rachel was pulled back by David. “Be good and lie down.”It was a simple sentence, but it contained an unquestionable command that made it impossible forRachel to resist.Immediately after, David used the internal phone to call the serv ants and asked them to prepare foodand bring it in.While Rachel and David waited, Rachel simply talked about the question that had always been on hermind. “Have you been to Phareborough?”“Yes,” David said. “You’ve asked this question before.”At that time, David’s answer was the same as now.What was different was that back then, Rachel only felt that it was a coincidence and thought that itwas fate. However, after tonight’s incident, a new answer appeared in her heart.Rachel’s heart sped up uncontrollably. Her fingertips curled up slightly as she deliberately controlledthe frequency of her breathing. “Five years ago, when I participated in the training camp, I accidentallybarged into Phareborough and participated in a chaotic battle. The man who protected me for the entirenight was you, right?”Rachel tried her best to control the frequency of her breathing, but her nervous voice was still mixedwith an uncontrollable tremble.When David heard this, the corners of his lips curled up slightly. A faint smile appeared on his face, andhis eyes flickered with an intriguing expression.It seemed that Rachel had not really forgotten. She just did not expect that they would meet again, letalone know that the person back then was David.David held her hand. His well-defined fingers intertwined with hers, and his deep voice was neither fastnor slow. “At that time, the local government’s inaction caused Phareborough to belong to an areawithout administer. A mixed environment was the best place for me. to hide. It’s just that I didn’t expect

my whereabouts to be exposed so quickly.“At that time, the battle was intense. I fled all the way. I didn’t expect to meet you there.”

David would always remember the first time he saw Rachel.In the flickering light, the young lady had short, car-length hair and a candy-colored rubber band tiedaround her wrist.

Under her bangs was a pair of clear charming eyes. They were pure black and white as if theycontained all the beauty in the world. Rachel was like a deer that had barged into the battlefield. Shewas so helpless. To be honest, David had never possessed kindness, but for some reason, he hadsaved the young lady at that time. Perhaps it was because Rachel was beautiful? But now, Davidthought this was probably fate. na No one would have thought that the young lady David had saved ona whim would one day become his wife. Rachel was not too surprised to hear David’s answer. Rachellooked at the man in front of her with sparkling eyes and a smile on her red lips. The smile reached hereyes. It was really David! At that time, the light was dim, and Rachel could not see the man’s faceclearly, but she could clearly see the outline of his face and those bottomless black eyes. At that time,Rachel was vigilant and thought that the man had ulterior motives when he approached her. She held adagger in her hand for self-defense. Once the man made a move, she would end him with her ownhands.

Later, at dawn, Rachel realized that her body was stained with blood. Only then did she know that theman was injured. It was laughable that Rachel had searched for so many years and wasted three yearson Louis. It turned out that the person she was really looking for had long appeared by her side. “Inother words, you recognized me the first time we met?” Rachel looked at David with a probing gaze.“Don’t tell me that all your gentleness and consideration were fake when you saw me?” If that was thecase, it could only be said that David had been planning this for a long time. David reached out andpinched Rachel’s earlobe. “That’s true, but my gentleness and consideration aren’t faked.” Worried thatRachel would not believe him, David analyzed logically, “You were in such a sorry state back then. It’s

too ungentlemanly to leave you there. Besides, you were injured because of me. Logically speaking, Ishouldn’t sit back and do nothing.

“After recognizing you, I did pay a lot more attention to you. After meeting you again and again, Ibecame interested in you. Coincidentally, Grandma was very satisfied with you, so I had many morelegitimate opportunities to get close to you.“But what I didn’t expect was that you’re actually the Johnson family’s mysterious granddaughter, whois also my legitimate fiancée. Perhaps this is fate?”In the past, David did not believe in fate at all.David felt that, in this world, he had to fight for it if he wanted something.Until Rachel appeared. It was as if Rachel was an accident that escaped from David’s grasp.Rachel was completely out of David’s control, but she affected him at all times.The topic of their engagement once again piqued Rachel’s curiosity. “So do you know the origin of ourengagement?”“I don’t know,” David said. “Apart from Grandma, I don’t think anyone else knows the origin of ourengagement.”

Old Mr. Jones was extremely opposed to this engagement. So when David offered to go to Seaxas tobreak off the engagement, Old Mr. Jones was the first person to stand up and agree. “When we getback to Seaxas, can we go visit Grandma?” Sometimes, the more one did not know the truth, the moreone wanted to dig and try to get close to the truth.

The more Old Mr. Johnson avoided the origin of the engagement, the more Rachel wanted to replace outthe reason.Of course, David knew what Rachel was thinking. “I’m afraid you’ll have to put in a lot of effort.”“Why…” Before Rachel could finish her sentence, she sensed David’s restless hand and slapped itaway angrily. “What are you doing… Ugh!”David bent down and kissed Rachel’s lips. His palm took the opportunity to enter her clothes. His dark

eyes became deeper and deeper. “Don’t struggle. Otherwise, if you touch my wound, it will cause asecond injury.”Rachel froze.Rachel would never have thought that her concern would become the reason for David to push hisluck.“You’re injured. Can you behave yourself?”“Even if I’m injured, it won’t stop me from performing normally.”“But… about the dinner… Dinner will be served soon.”“Pre-dinner exercise is good for the appetite.”Rachel was speechless.

Excuses! They were all excuses!However, Rachel was ultimately defeated by David’s gentle teasing.David kissed her eyes and eyebrows gently. His deep voice was tinged with passion and h oarseness.“Rae-Rae, Rae-Rae…”David called her name over and over again, causing Rachel to sink into a gentle whirlpool, deeper anddeeper.Rachel felt like a lonely boat floating on the sea. Huge waves came at her wave after wave. Her armsinstinctively clung to David’s back.The light in the room was dim, and the thick night sky became ambiguous with low panting. The moonhanging in the night sky did. not look at the charming scenery and hid behind the clouds shyly.
