Chapter 395
She immediately sat up but did not expect to cause a huge splash, causing her to choke and cough incessantly.
David, outside the door, was worried that something would happen to her and instinctively wanted to barge in.
But Rachel immediately stopped him. “Don’t come in!”
“Are you okay?” David’s tense voice was filled with unconcealable
nervousness.
“Ahem, I–I’m fine…” Rachel crossed her arms in front of her chest and tensely curled up in the bathtub. She stared
nervously at the closed bathroom door. “What’s the matter?”
Outside, David said, “Your phone is ringing.”
Rachel pursed her lips and said awkwardly, “It’s not convenient for me
now…”

“Okay.”
After saying that, Rachel secretly heaved a sigh of relief when she heard David’s footsteps leaving.
David swiped the screen with his fingertips and picked up the call. “Who is it?”
There was a long silence on the other end of the line.
Even if the other party did not speak, David could vaguely perceive who the other party was.
David was not in a hurry either, patiently waiting.
Then the person on the other end couldn’t stand it and spoke first, “I’m looking for Rachel.”
Upon hearing this, the corner of David’s lips curled up slightly. There was a hint of laughter in his deep and cold
voice, full of provocation. “She’s taking a shower. It’s not very convenient.”
Louis choked and tightened his grip on the phone. His knuckles were pale, and blue veins could be seen on the back
of his hand.
He did not expect the progress between Rachel and David to be so fast.
Think about it. He had been with Rachel for three years, and their most intimate action was only to hug and hold
hands.
However, after she broke up with him and met David for a few months, they had already slept together.
The more Louis thought about it, the angrier he became. He felt a lump in his throat, making his breathing
unpleasant. The purpose of the call was forgotten for a while.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up first. I don’t have time to waste with you in the middle of the night,” David said
meaningfully.
Every word stabbed fiercely into Louis’s heart like a knife.
His face abruptly changed, and a complex look appeared in his eyes. “Give her the phone. I have something to say
to her.”
“She has nothing to say to you.” With that, David hung up directly.

“Come here.” David waved at her.
Only then did Rachel realize that the hairdryer was ready.
As soon as she walked over, David wrapped his arms around her slender waist and held her on his lap.
The man’s well–defined fingers intertwined with her soft hair, patiently teasing her hair.
Rachel listened to the sound of the hairdryer and casually asked, “Can you tell me about Aureliana?”
“Then what do you want to know?”
“I heard that Aureliana has many unwritten rules, including not marrying outsiders?”
“Yes.” David did not hide anything. He did not stop what he was doing. and said calmly, “There are many unwritten
rules there, but rules are
dead, and people are alive.”
His tone was casual, but when the words fell, it gave off a soul–stirring deterrence.
No matter how ordinary a sentence was, the moment it came out of his mouth, there was an inexplicable sense of
trust.
At this moment, David turned off the hairdryer in his hand.
