Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot

Chapter 926: 269: Unknown Secrets_7

Delia Frieman briskly walked over, “Why are you so early? Have you had breakfast?”

The office starts at nine-thirty, it was currently seven o’clock.

Delia left early because she had to attend a one-hour English class.

Noah Reed said: “Knowing that you have to learn English, I came early. Am I a good boyfriend?”

“Absolutely!”

Noah raised his face pretentiously, “So aren’t you going to reward me!”

...

Delia embraced Noah and gave him a kiss on his face.

“Get in the car, sis!” Noah was instantly gratified.

Once in the car, Delia asked, “Considering how early you arrived, have you eaten?”

“No,” Noah replied, “I’ll grab something to eat while you’re in class.”

“No way! From tomorrow morning onward, I will have my elder sister prepare an extra breakfast to pack for you when she makes mine,” Delia suggested.

“Sounds good,” answered Noah, well pleased.

On the other side.

Rachel Barton took her three roommates to the Michelin restaurant for dinner as promised.

After dinner, she ran into Flora Tiarks on her way back home.

Despite knowing that Flora mildly disliked her, Rachel, mindful that Flora was Mr. White’s niece, still greeted her with a smile. “Flora, what a coincidence!”

Flora was equally surprised, “Rachel, indeed! What a coincidence!”

Had it been Viola Thompson today, Flora would have definitely said, “What a fateful encounter!”

However, she was not Viola.

But Rachel wasn’t the resentful type. “Flora, where are you headed?” she asked.

“I’m going to my uncle’s house to pick up something. Would you accompany me?” Flora offered.

Overjoyed at the offer, Rachel quickly agreed.

“Sure!”

The White Family Mansion was close by so they decided to walk.

All of a sudden, while they were on their way, a torrential rain poured down.

By the time they had arrived at the White Family Mansion, they were completely drenched.

Flora guided Rachel to a guest room, “Rachel, go in and take a shower, fresh clothes will be brought over.”

“Okay.”

Rachel took a shower.

She couldn’t figure out why Flora’s attitude towards her had changed so drastically.

Could it be…

Did Mr. White say something to her?

With this thought, Rachel’s heart began to race again.

Yes.

It must be so.

By the time Rachel had finished her shower and came out – draped in a bath towel – a full set of clothes had been laid out on the guest bed.

Rachel entered the bathroom and changed into the clothes.

Once changed, she came out of the room, “Flora?”

But Flora didn’t answer.

Suddenly, Rachel spotted an open door to a room.

She took a peek inside.

The decoration was simple yet elegant.

For some reason, the room reminded her of Mr. White.

She was sure this was Mr. White’s bedroom.

Thinking this, Rachel couldn’t resist her curiosity and walked in.

The bedroom was vast.

There was a faint smell of sandalwood in the air. The room was neatly arranged and simply furnished.

Rachel noticed a large wardrobe in the dressing room.

What does a man’s wardrobe look like?

After a moment’s thought, Rachel finally opened the door to the wardrobe.

Mr. White likes her as well.

Since they like each other, it wouldn’t be an invasion of Mr. White’s privacy.

Most of the clothes in the wardrobe were formal attire, along with a few robes. As her gaze travelled upwards,

Rachel was taken aback.

Amongst the neatly-hung white clothes, there was a hanging red, backless dress.

Why would Mr. White’s wardrobe contain a woman’s dress?

Could it be a gift for her?

But as far as Rachel could recall, during one of their shopping trips, Viola had tried on an identical dress.

Rachel remembered how Viola looked stunning, like a celestial maiden, in that dress.

But why-?

How did this dress end up in Mr. White’s wardrobe?
