Chapter 565

Actually, Rachel said this more to tease David.

Unexpectedly, David thought for a moment and said seriously, “You can say that.”

Rachel was stunned for a moment. She was touched.

She looked at the man in front of her with a smile. “David, where are your principles? Where’s your

bottom line?”

“I have no bottom line in front of you.” David’s fingertips gently touched the corner of her eyes and

slowly slid down to her lips. “I said that I’ll bear everything for you. I’m not just saying it.”

“I know,” said Rachel.

This was exactly what touched Rachel the most.

Sometimes, she valued action more than promises.

As for David, not only did he promise her generously, but he also acted on it.

Rachel picked up the fruit salad on the table and passed a piece of strawberry to David’s mouth.

“Those two men were sent by the Elders?”

It was not that she did not interrogate them, but the two of them were very stubborn. They told nothing.

to her.

Even though she almost broke their wrist, they refused to say a word.

David frowned slightly and opened his mouth to eat the strawberry. After that, he said, “No.”

He thought that Rachel would continue to ask, but he did not expect her to say calmly, “No wonder

they’re so weak.”

David could not help but raise his eyebrows. “If you’re not satisfied with that fight, why don’t you find a

day to get Billy to spar with you?”

“I think I’ll pass,” said Rachel.

She thought if a man lost to her, he would definitely feel humiliated in the face of her from now on.

“It’s getting late. Let’s go to bed early.” Rachel changed the topic.

David replied, “Okay.”

Rachel wanted to turn around and escape from David’s embrace, but David grabbed her waist

domineeringly and locked her firmly in his arms before carrying her up.

Back in the bedroom, Rachel went straight to the bathroom.

When she came out, she vaguely heard David on the phone say, “No, no need. It’s not your place to

interfere in my matters!”

His low and deep voice was filled with chilling intimidation.

Rachel, who was sitting in front of the vanity mirror, gradually slowed down the wiping of her hair. Her

eyes were vaguely sizing up David, who was standing in front of the balcony making a call.

“Why should I report my decisions to you one by one?” His tone was indifferent and slow, with anger

that could not be erased. “I warn you for the last time, don’t meddle in my business!”

With that, he hung up.

When he turned around, he saw Rachel standing behind him, looking at him with a hairdryer in her

hand. “Can you help me blow-dry my hair?”

David’s eyes twin kled slightly. “Okay.”

The two of them sat in front of the dressing table. Rachel played with a strand of her hair with her

fingertips and sized up the man in front of her through the mirror. “Did your family urge you to go

Chapter 365 back?”

There were only a few days left until David’s birthday.

She guessed that his family must have urged him to go back quickly.

David ran his well-defined fingers through her hair and looked up at her deeply. “You should learn to

play dumb appropriately.”

“In that case, it’s my fault,” Rachel said.

David smiled faintly and said nothing.

“It feels so good to have someone to serve me. Rachel suddenly felt emotional. She sighed slightly. Tm

just afraid that I’ll become a useless person who can’t even take good care of himself in the future.”

David lifted her long hair and massaged her scalp with moderate strength. “It’s not bad that you

become a useless person. This way, you’ll never be able to leave me.”

“What about you?” Rachel blurted out.

She looked at him, her almond-shaped eyes twin kling like the stars in the night sky.

David looked down at her. Her clear eyes reflected his appearance clearly.

down the hairdryer in his hand and leaned over to kiss her hair. “I will be your most faithful follower

forever and ever.”

Rachel blinked and wrapped her arms around his neck. “I’m tired. Let’s sleep.”

“Okay,” said David.

David bent down and carried her up in his arms. The two of them hugged each other and fell asleep.

The next morning, when Olivia returned to the Cruise family, she was no longer as depressed as

yesterday. Instead, she looked radiant and regained her usual confidence.

Bertha noticed the flirtatious look in her eyes, and an ambiguous smile flashed across her eyes.

“Where’s my father?” Olivia sat on the sofa as she asked. A serv*nt immediately came up to her to

serve her coffee.

Bertha sighed slightly. “You know exactly what the company’s shareholders are like. Your father went to

the company early in the morning.”

Olivia nodded thoughtfully.

She felt she needed to find a way to get back into company management.

As she was thinking, Bertha continued to say, “Olivia, did you mention the engagement to Louis last

night?”

When Olivia heard this, the light in her eyes dimmed slightly. “No.”

Last night, she had wanted to mention the engagement several times, but she was worried that being

too hasty would backfire.

Therefore, she could only suppress the restlessness in her heart.

“It would be great if you could carry his kids,” Bertha said meaningfully.

Olivia’s eyes twin kled slightly. She put down the cup in her hand. “I’m not so down that I need to get a

shotgun marriage.”

“I just think this is a better way,” Bertha said. “When I went shopping yesterday afternoon, I met Louis’

mother. She was putting on the airs of a rich lady. After all, the Smith family is no longer the same as

before.”

She seemed to be expressing her feelings, but her words were filled with disdain.

Olivia said, “You don’t need to take it in your heart. She is just in luck.”

While they were talking, Richard walked in tiredly.

Bertha immediately went up to him and helped him take off his coat.

Olivia tactfully served a cup of coffee.

After Richard had drunk coffee, Olivia thought for a moment and asked, “Dad, have you found out who

is secretly buying Cruise Group’s shares?”

Richard did not speak. He just pursed his lips and his expression was abnormally solemn.

The other party currently held 30% of the Cruise Group’s shares and was about to become the Cruise

Group’s second-largest shareholder. This pressure made Richard feel uneasy.

Now that the enemy was in the dark and they were in the open, they knew nothing about the other

party. The situation was very disadvantageous for them.

If the Cruise Group really changed hands, the Cruise family would be completely finished.

“How’s your discussion with Louis going?” Richard suddenly asked.

Olivia frowned slightly, not knowing what to say.

At this moment, Bertha held her hand and said at the right time, “It’s already very difficult for such a big

thing to not affect their relationship. If we mention the engagement at this time, I’m afraid it will cause

the Smith family to make speculation against us.”

“That’s true,” Richard agreed.

He lit a cigarette and took a few puffs. His deep voice sounded again. “Prepare the birthday party

during this period of time. Everything still has to go according to the original plan.”

well

“I know.” Olivia said, “I’ll contact Louis now and see if he has time to accompany me to try on the

gown.”

Richard raised his hand and interrupted her. “The most important thing now is to find a way to make an

appointment with the Smith family. It would be best if Old Mr. Smith would come forward personally to

finalize your marriage completely.”
