Betrayal At the Altar by Dolores Delia

Chapter 608

Seeing that David did not take the bouquet for a long time, Rachel had a fleeting nervousness flash across her eyes.

Rachel held the bouquet tightly with both hands and asked carefully. “You don’t like it?”

David suddenly came back to his senses. Seeing the woman’s nervous expression, David hurriedly took the

bouquet. “I like it.”

As if David felt that his words were not sincere enough, he added, “I like it very much.”

Hearing this, Rachel secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

This was the first time Rachel had prepared a surprise for a man in her life.

Rachel had always been worried that David would not like it.

But how could David not like it?

In the past, David had never understood why women liked surprises, nor did he understand why a simple bouquet

of flowers could make women happy for an entire day.

But today, David seemed to understand.

Surprises and flowers were just a part of the happiness. What really made women happy was the care that the

person they loved was willing to spend on them.

Women had never been happy about how valuable this gift was. Instead, they were happy about the sincerity and

care that people had put into the gift, the time and effort to prepare the gift.

They were happy that the surprise and flowers came from the person they loved, and it was unique and exclusive

to them.

David stared at Rachel without blinking. David’s dark eyes revealed a soul-stirring dark light.

The blush on Rachel’s face gradually spread to her ears. Her earlobes were faintly itchy, and her heart could not

help but beat faster. “Can you not look at me like that..”

Rachel kept feeling that the scorching heat was filled with fatal danger. It was like a ferocious beast staring at its

prey as if the beast was about to swallow her at any moment.

David took a step forward and held Rachel’s hand. David’s eyes were filled with a warm smile. “I’m thinking about

what other surprise gifts are waiting for me.”

The moment their skin touched, Rachel could clearly feel the warmth of the man’s palm. Rachel panicked for no

reason.

Rachel took a deep breath, her chest moving up and down.

David stared at Rachel, his dark eyes darkening,

David could not help but tighten his grip on the woman.

“Let’s eat first,” Rachel said.

David nodded. “Whatever you say.”

The dancing fire on the candle and the dim light created an indescribably ambiguous atmosphere.

David looked at Rachel, who was sitting opposite him. The indescribable secret addiction in his eyes was stirring.

The flickering candlelight outlined Rachel’s face which was as flawless as cold jade. Rachel’s extremely beautiful

contour was half-lit and half-dark. Rachel’s exquisite facial features. were like a work of art.

Rachel’s eyebrows were arched at the right angle. Any higher and she would be flirting. Event so, at first glance, it

looked like Rachel was secretly flirting. It did not conflict with the coldness Rachel exuded. She looked like a demon

and a fairy at the same time.

Admiring a beauty under the candlelight was a different experience.

It was indeed right.

Rachel raised her glass and looked at David with a smile. “In the end, I sincerely wish you a happy birthday.”

“Then, can i make a wish now?” David raised his eyebrows. His thin lips curled into a faint smile that looked a little

devilish.

“Let’s have dinner first.” Rachel lowered her eyes to hide the emotions in them.

However, Rachel’s hand holding the goblet trembled slightly, revealing the nervousness in her heart.

David didn’t say anything and finished the wine in the glass in one gulp.

David stared deeply at Rachel with his black eyes. David’s gaze was like a predator staring at a prey that had

stepped into his encirclement.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve made Wetanean food. Try it and see how it tastes,” Rachel

said.

Only then did David turn his attention to the dish in front of him. He looked at the exquisite plate and asked, “You

cooked it yourself?”

Rachel nodded. “I just don’t know if it suits your taste.”

Under Rachel’s gaze, David tasted the warm salad of foie gras in front of him.

The man’s every move exuded a natural aura of nobility. Even if one gave just a casual glance, one would give

David all his attention and would not be able to look away.

David’s well-defined face was handsome and indifferent. When the candlelight landed on his face, it was as if his

face was coated with a layer of faint golden light. David was like an angel instead of a man.

Even though Rachel often faced such a face, every time she focused on admiring it, she would be stunned.

Looking at the man chewing slowly, Rachel curled her fingers nervously. A hint of nervousness could not help but

appear in Rachel’s eyes. “Does it taste good?”

“Very good,” David praised generously.

Of course, the best praise was to finish all the food on the plate.

As expected, the smile in Rachel’s eyes deepened when she saw that David had finished the food.

Rachel rested her chin on one hand and looked at David. “Do you know why I gave you the bellflowers?”

David shook his head with a gentle expression and patiently listened to Rachel’s explanation.

“The florist at the flower shop told me that the bellflower is also called the thornless rose. Its flower language is ‘I

will only give you unchanging love. I am very wary of this world, but in front of you, I am willing to let go of all my

defenses and hug you.’

“Actually, I know that these flower languages are just given to them by people for marketing. But in the face of such

special flower languages, I can’t help but want to buy them for you. Thank you for letting me meet you in my life,

and thank you for being tolerant of me.”

Initially, Rachel thought that being abandoned on her wedding day was the most. embarrassing state she would

ever be in her life. However, David appeared in Rachel’s life at Rachel’s most embarrassing moment and gave that

day a new meaning.

“Isn’t it my fortune to have met you in my life? David asked.

Rachel’s face was filled with a bright and moving smile. Under the candlelight, her face looked even more beautiful.

After eating, Rachel held David’s hand and walked to the stairs.

The entire staircase was paved with rose petals, and different gifts were placed in the corresponding positions.

Each gift was decorated with a different number of balloons.

“These are different gifts I prepared for you at different ages.” Rachel held David’s hand and explained, “Everyone

has their own past. I regret not meeting you when I was young. I want to say that I can’t participate in your past,

but I will accompany you to the end of your future!

“Of course, the reason why I did this is to make up for not participating in your past. I hope to leave more of me in

your memories.”

Seeing that David did not speak, Rachel lowered her eyes to hide the emotions in her eyes. Rachel mocked herself,

“Do you think I’m too greedy?”

Everyone could listen to reasons. But when it came to themselves, no matter how smart they were, they would

become unreasonable.

Rachel felt that what she said just now was really s*upid.

Just as Rachel was secretly vexed, a black shadow fell in front of her.

David raised Rachel’s chin and stared at her with his black eyes.
