Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot

Chapter 923: 269: Unknown Secrets_4

She loved cycling.

Flora Tiarks said, “Coincidentally, Vio and I are going the same way, so I’ll cycle too.”

Left without a choice, Rachel Barton had to cycle too since Viola Thompson and Flora Tiarks were doing so.

If she were to ask Mr. White for a ride, it would seem too obvious.

It was so typical of Viola.

Why did she insist on cycling home?

...

At that moment, Flora said, “Uncle, we’ll cycle home, you can just drop Rachel off.”

Rachel’s heart leapt, relieved that she hadn’t voiced her thoughts.

Mr. White nodded, “Alright.”

With that, he turned to Rachel, “Let’s go.”

Rachel fell into step with Mr. White.

As she walked on.

Rachel sensed something amiss.

Knowing Flora, she would never willingly play matchmaker for her and Mr. White.

Because from the beginning, Flora had never given her a second glance.

But now.

Why was Flora willingly asking Mr. White to take her home?

There could only be one reason.

Flora didn’t want her interfering in the relationship between her and Viola Thompson.

With that thought, Rachel felt a pang of silent frustration.

She didn’t understand what had displeased Flora to the extent of isolating her intentionally.

Was it because she was the poorest of the group?

Ha.

In an instance, Rachel’s eyes held a hint of sarcasm.

But she quickly regained composure.

Her eyes softened into a smile again, determined not to let Mr. White notice anything.

“Uncle, did you have enough to eat tonight?” Rachel started conversation, “You seemed to have eaten very little.”

“I always eat well at night,” Mr. White responded.

Hearing that, Rachel regretted deliberately eating an extra bowl of rice in an attempt to leave a good impression on Mr. White.

After all, both Viola Thompson and Flora Tiarks ate a lot.

They were a clique.

If both Viola and Flora ate a lot and she alone didn’t, it would give the impression that she was an outsider.

So, most of the time, Rachel would deliberately try to fit in.

Rachel rolled her eyes a bit, then added, “Actually, it’s not too good to eat a lot at night, but I always can’t help myself. I guess I should learn more from you, uncle.”

Mr. White turned on the car, “Hmm.”

Hmm?

Just one word.

Somehow, Rachel felt Mr. White was s bit cold at that moment.

Soon, Mr. White said, “Fasten your seat belt.”

Rachel’s heart, which was slowly cooling off, was instantly warmed again.

Mr. White was reminding her to fasten her seat belt!

He cared about her.

So, she must have a place in Mr. White’s heart.

Rachel’s heart began to race.

She wanted to say something, but no words came out.

She knew that Mr. White couldn’t possibly completely have no feelings for her.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the residential area.

Mr. White parked the car.

“We’re here,” he finally broke the silence.

Rachel unbuckled her seat belt and opened the car door, “Uncle, I’ll go in first. Goodnight.”

“Goodnight,” Mr. White echoed.

As soon as the words came out, he stepped on the gas pedal and drove off.

And Rachel was still hearing his words in her ears.

He was saying goodnight to her.

That was nice.

People on the Internet once said that there’s another meaning to “goodnight”, that is, ‘I love you.’

Because ‘wanan’, the pinyin of ‘goodnight’, shortens to ‘I love you.’

Mr. White must know the other meaning of ‘goodnight’, right?

If he didn’t know it, he wouldn’t say it casually to her.

Thinking that Mr. White might have just confessed his love to her, Rachel’s heartbeat wouldn’t stop pounding.

She was particularly excited.

After all, he was the one she loved the most and wanted to be with the most.

As Rachel kept thinking, she kept walking forward.

When she approached the corner ahead, she saw a couple kissing in the corner.

At first, Rachel didn’t think much of it.

Until she suddenly realized that the woman looked very familiar.

It was…

It was Delia Frieman.

Knowing it was Delia, a feeling of discomfort rose in Rachel Barton’s heart.

What was Delia thinking?

She had brought her business right to the door of the residential area!

How disgusting!

The more Rachel thought about it, the more nauseous she felt, until she finally ran off to the side and began to retch.

At that moment, Delia noticed Rachel and immediately let go of Noah Reed.

Noah was really enjoying the kiss, “What’s wrong?”

Feeling uneasy, Delia straightened her hair, “My sister.”

Noah wasn’t tense at all.

Wasn’t it normal for couples to kiss?

Moreover, he had been pursuing Delia for so long.

Noah put his arm around Delia’s shoulder and smiled, “Let’s go and say hi to our sister.”
