His Domineering Lover
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 explain.

"Rachel, I don't care if it's true. I just want to know what's your relationship 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 relationship 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 replace 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 accept a divorced woman.

"The Turner family is not the most outstanding family, but it does have a place in the upper classes. 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?

"A complete 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 explain. 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 become enemies, and Tracey wouldn't have gone to the United States. William's perfume wouldn't have been delayed and delayed and turned out to be a failure.

"You don't have to explain yourself. I didn't mean to blame 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 plans."

"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 melancholy descended on Rachel. "God, are you punishing me?"
