Chapter 438

When Darcy saw Rachel, a smile appeared on his deadpan expression. “Miss Grey.”

David’s eyes narrowed slightly upon seeing Darcy. Hostility rose from within the depths of his eyes.

His sharp gaze was like a knife stabbing at Darcy.

Darcy raised his head and face David fearlessly. The smile on him suddenly appeared more

provocative.

He knew that David’s men had been following him.

He also knew that he was being watched.

But so what if David knew?

He had known Rachel since shoo

was just a little girl, whereas David was someone

whom Rachel met recently. There was no way their brief encounter could undermine the years of

friendship he had with Rachel.

Darcy lowered his eyes and noticed the ring on Rachel’s finger. He kept up the smile on his face, but

the expression in his eyes turned ominous.

“Darcy, are you unwell?” Rachel looked at him.

Darcy smiled faintly and said, “I am here to visit Mr. Johnson. I heard he was hospitalized.”

“I am here to see grandfather too. Let’s go in together.”

“Okay”

David followed behind Rachel but was stopped by her. “Go back and rest now.”

She blocked him from moving forward while she held the elevator door open with one hand.

David arched his eyebrows slightly. He lowered his voice, and in a deep tone, asked, “So heartless?”

“Pick me up after you have rested,” Rachel said. “We can have dinner together tonight.”

Finally, she imitated how David usually caressed her cheeks and did the same to him. “Be good.”

David chuckled and remained in his spot. He watched as Rachel turned and head into the elevator.

In the elevator, Darcy kept looking at Rachel’s ring. After some hesitation, he could no longer help but

ask, “Miss Grey, is it time for congratulations?”

Rachel was stunned for a moment at his question. But she smiled and replied, “I’m not sure yet.”

That meant it was bound to happen, sooner or later.

Darcy understood what she meant. He lowered his eyes to hide his dark intentions.

Suddenly, Rachel thought of something. “Darcy, have you ever heard grandfather mention anything

about my engagement?”

Since her grandfather brought Rachel back to the Johnson family, Darcy had been by her side to take

care of her and teach her. Though he was always around her like a bodyguard, he was more of a family

to her.

When she was 18 years old, Darcy left the Johnson family.

After he left, his relationship with the Johnson family did not fade but became stronger.

Therefore, she thought that perhaps Darcy would know something about her engagement.

“I’ve heard Mr. Johnson mention it before.” Darcy said, “But…”

“But what?” Rachel’s became wide-eyed with curiosity.

Darcy raised his eyes to look at her. His gaze took on a serene yet meaningful look. He spoke in a low

and solemn tone, “Miss Grey, are you really going to fulfill that wrongful engagement? How well do you

know Mr. Jones? Have you heard any rumors about him?”

A wrongful engagement?

Was there some secret behind this engagement?

Rachel looked surprised at first, but quickly regained her composure. “Darcy doesn’t seem to approve

of him.”

“No, I don’t!” Darcy stared at Rachel with a complicated expression. “I don’t want anything else. I just

want you to be healthy and safe.”

Darcy’s forthright answer left Rachel bewildered.

At this moment, the elevator door opened, and Darcy said, “After you, Miss Grey!”

There was no change in his expression. His attitude was as respectful as ever, as if the conversation

just now never took place.
