My Crazy Rich - Ard

Chapter 73

Richard, who managed to bring Rachel back to his residence, treated the woman as a queen. Maybe this was something very difficult for Richard, but he tried his best to make Rachel comfortable beside him.

They both sleep in the same king size bed. The newlyweds in general. However, because they were not used to it, they could only turn their backs on each other, while Rachel seemed to be firmly gripping the blanket that now wrapped her body. There is no first night full of passion. Both of them had their first night a few months ago.

“Rich,” call Rachel down. Nervous, as well as confused, maybe that's what Rachel is feeling now. In just a matter of hours, everything changed just like that without him being able to guess. Not only was the man's wife admired, but she also experienced some stressful events like a trip in space time that she had never imagined before.

Only a dullness came out of Richard's lips in response. The man then turned his body and clasped Rachel's back while inhaling a fresh aroma in the curve of the wife's neck.

“Why? You can't sleep?” asked Richard softly. He who is usually cold and rude, is now trying to make the woman he loves comfortable in his own way.

Rachel just nodded small. “I still do not think if now we are a legitimate husband and wife.”

Richard further tightened his hands that were coiled around the wife's body. “Maybe this is destiny. Destiny that brought me to have you.”

Rachel immediately turned her body until the two were now facing each other and their faces were only a few inches away. Although the hearts of both felt so pounding, but Rachel still stared fixedly at Richard's beautiful eyes. A pair of beautiful eyes that must be able to hypnotize every woman, just by the glance.

“Rich, do you really love me this time?” rachel asked softly.

Indirectly, Rachel could not yet fully believe, if the man before her was currently having a sincere feeling as to where she was. Given the beginning of their relationship is only based on a contract that is mutually beneficial to each other, even though it turns out Richard has other ulterior intentions. In addition, Rachel is too traumatized by the name of love with the end of betrayal.

Slowly one of Richard's hands let go of his embrace. Gently, his thumb rubbed the wife's thick, unembroidered eyebrows. “You know, maybe too soon if I say love to you.” Richard's hand then turned to hold one of Rachel's hands and put it right on his chest. “But give me a chance to slowly prove this feeling. And never intend to turn away from me, if later you know what I really am. Even if it's just in your mind.”

Don't ask Rachel how she feels right now. Of course he was very nervous with a sharp and firm look from Richard. It felt like Rachel was prancing around this time also hearing a satisfactory answer from Richard's mouth. However, those eyes did not lie to him at all. There was a warm feeling that Richard channeled to Rachel from just his two bright eyeballs. Whether this is the right choice or not, but Rachel is grateful that Richard has now given her husband the title.

“What are you really like, to the point that I have to turn away? Are you so bad that I can't tolerate it? Then are you willing to tell me? Maybe it would be better for me to listen directly from your lips rather than someone else's mouth,” Rachel said expectantly.

All this time, he had no idea what Richard looked like. Let alone the attitude and personality of the man. Even her favorite food and habits, Rachel doesn't really understand. Rachel hoped, Richard was willing to tell her about many things. It hurts to hear what we don't want from someone else's mouth. Especially if you find out, it turns out that person is part of the past of the man we love.

For a moment Richard was silent, this time he had already chosen Rachel as his wife. However, the feeling of vigilance being let down in the past left a mark of its own in Richard's heart.maybe the woman before him at this moment would betray him like Celine before.

“What do you want to know?” he asked as he rubbed Rachel's head and flicked the child's hair behind the woman's ears.

“Semuams. About you, ah except wealth. I'd be so dizzy if you told me to spend it. So there is no need to tell how rich you are and also your assets.”

Inevitably, Richard finally told her about something Rachel deserves to know. However, Richard could still be clear-minded and not divulge what others should not hear. He only told me about his childhood journey, until now. Meanwhile, the wife seemed so enthusiastic to hear every word that came out of Richard's mouth, like a child who listened to a fairy tale from their parents before going to bed.

Time passed by so quickly, and Richard stopped his childhood fairy tale when his wife began to yawn. “What is my story so boring?” ask Rich.

“No. You really are a good storyteller.”

“Good. Fairytale is done, it's time for you to sleep.” Richard lowered himself until he, who had initially taken the wife, now turned into hugging the woman so tightly and raising their blankets up to the chest.

Rachel could only smile lightly accepting Richard's treatment. Both are just two people who both lost the affection of a family because of circumstances. However, it seems that fate wills another, by uniting two lovebirds who mutually feel lonely.

“By the way, did Dason do anything bad to you?” ask Richard.

After a long time, the question finally escaped his lips. Jealous, of course Richard was jealous, but more so was the worry for Sasmine's safety while on the island. Luckily, they found Rachel in good condition. If Rachel had been hurt or tortured in the slightest, Richard would have been furious to reply to Dason instead of just ending up with a warning shot in the leg, but take the life of the man at that moment.

But Rachel quickly shook her head. “He treats me better than my own Daddy, only your ex makes me sick of constantly talking about your past.”

“Really?” Richard smiled slightly. Rachel's upset tone made her look so adorable in Richard's eyes, while the wife seemed to have a small nod.

“Ah, I almost forgot. But there was another woman whom they sealed and treated very badly. I up to thought he was a ghost at first.” Rachel turned her body and looked at Richard closely. “After seeing the woman, I was very afraid of the same fate. But lucky you came to pick me up on time. So I don't have to wait twenty years later for you to save.”

“What do you mean twenty years later?”

“I heard, the woman was held captive for twenty years. I can't imagine having the same fate. Know it? His appearance is terrible. He seems to have been tortured for too long. I would probably choose to die rather than have to suffer the same fate as that,” Rachel said grimly.
