Chapter 125

“There’s no time to explain.” Rachel Grey grabbed his hand. She wanted to send David Jones out the door before her grandfather noticed, but it was too late. She could already hear footsteps approaching.

“We’re finished. We won’t make it in time.” Rachel was feeling very anxious.

David raised his eyebrows. Mischief flashed across his eyes. “It’s only a matter of time before we meet anyway.”

Meanwhile, Rachel panicked so much that she couldn’t hear what he said. She looked around frantically and saw her spacious and comfortable desk. Then she grabbed David’s arm and quickly walked over. She tried to make him go under the desk without saying a word.

“Try to put up with it in the meantime.”

David was speechless.

“Rachel Grey, you’re the first person who dares do this to me.” He held her wrist and stared at her warningly.

“I don’t have a choice either.” Rachel stood on her tiptoes and planted a kiss on his lips. She gave him a sweet smile to fawn adoration. “Be good.”

David was speechless. He felt like he was being called out right now,

Old Mr. Johnson was very direct with his words.

Rachel caught a glimpse of David’s displeasure. Worried that David would act

impulsively, Rachel quietly patted his head. She felt like she was comforting a dog about

“Grandpa, it’s normal for someone to pursue someone as outstanding as me.” Rachel stood up and walked towards Old Mr. Johnson. She reached out and held his arm. She leaned on his shoulder and acted like a spoiled child. “Or do you wish that no one loves. your precious granddaughter?”

Old Mr. Johnson snorted at Rachel’s self–deprecating words. “Hmph, those who don’t are just blind!”

He paused for a while and continued, “Rae–Rae, you’re different from your uncles. I’m fine with them not returning for the night. I’m not worried even if they don’t come home. for half a month. However, you’re a girl, so you’ll be at a disadvantage. Therefore, it’s safer to stay at home.”

Rachel finally understood. It turned out that Old Mr. Johnson was concerned for her safety. He was reminding her to be prudent regarding her sexual life.

She cleared her throat. “Grandpa, I only moved out for work. But I do, in fact, have a boyfriend. I know how to take care of myself, though. So you don’t have to worry about me. Rachel was a little uncomfortable.
