Betrayal At the Altar by Dolores Delia

Chapter 669

Rachel turned around and sized up the tall and slender woman in front of her again.

“Miss Grey, my name is Chris Jones, and I will be your personal bodyguard starting today,” Chris said expressionlessly.

“I don’t need a bodyguard,” Rachel replied.

Her words were not meant for Chris, but rather to convey her thoughts to David.

David handed the fruit salad to Rachel. “Chris is a person of few words. She will not disturb you. She will only appear by your side when necessary. You won’t feel uncomfortable with her presence at other times.”

“You know that’s not what I meant,” Rachel said as she reached out and took the salad bowl.

She didn’t mind Chris’ presence affecting her. It was just that she was used to being on her own for all these years, and having someone around meant she would have to divert some of her attention.

She picked up a piece of strawberry and put it in her mouth, only to be caught off guard by its unexpected. sourness, causing her eyebrows to furrow.

Seeing this, David hurriedly pulled out a tissue, gesturing for her to spit the strawberry out.

Standing nearby, Chris witnessed the scene. She looked as if she had been struck by lightning and stared at David in disbelief.

She wondered, “What on earth happened to Mr. Jones during his time away from Aureliana?

“He is the head of the Jones family, the master of the secret chamber, and a person even the Elders would fear!

“Why would he be doing such menial tasks for a woman?”

“Why don’t you let her be your driver?” David suggested again.

Rachel looked at David, hesitated, and finally reluctantly agreed. “Fine.”

David had already gone this far. She would seem like an ingrate if she continued to refuse at this point.
