Chapter 453
When Old Mr. Johnson heard this, his expression froze for a moment. He picked up
the glass of water beside him, took a sip, raised his eyes, and looked at Rachel. “It’s nothing serious. I just want to
talk to you about the engagement. I wonder if you’ve thought about it?”
Actually, Old Mr. Johnson had an impulse for a moment. He was worried that he would survive the operation and
wanted to tell Rachel about the engagement.
But now that he was safe, he selfishly wanted to keep this secret to himself forever. Sometimes, there were things
that were not necessarily good to be known.
Perhaps the current life was the best for Rachel.

objected to me being with Louis. Was it because of the difference in family background or because of this
engagement?” Rachel stared at Old Mr. Johnson with a burning gaze, and her eyes were filled with persistence.
Old Mr. Johnson frowned slightly and said firmly, “So what if I know? This marriage will be canceled sooner or later!”
“Grandpa, are you hiding something from us? Rae-Rae’s marriage came so suddenly. You’ve never mentioned it
before. Now, you’re insisting that she call off the marriage. Is there some… secret behind this marriage?” Lucas
looked at Old Mr. Johnson in confusion.
Old Mr. Johnson looked up and glared at him angrily. “What secret could there be? It’s just that your aunt once
owed a favor and used Rae-Rae’s marriage to return it. I’m just feeling sorry for her. If the young lady marries into
such a faraway place and is unfamiliar with the place, won’t she be bullied to death later?! Besides, what kind of
place is the Jones family? There are so many people. They’ll eat her up later!”
“Look at you guys. I’m always thinking for you, but you guys are suspecting my intentions. You’re really mistaking a
good man for a bad one!”
Lucas was scolded badly. He rubbed his nose awkwardly and muttered softly, “There’s clearly a problem with your
attitude…”
“You brat, I think you need to be taught a lesson!” Old Mr. Johnson said as he grabbed a pillow and threw it at
Lucas.
Lucas dodged nimbly and grabbed the cigarette box on the coffee table. “I can go out and smoke, right?”
“Go, go, go. You, too.” Old Mr. Johnson was anxious and chased Rachel out together. “I’ve raised you for nothing all
these years. You actually suspect my intentions!”
Rachel did not know whether to laugh or cry. Seeing Adrian’s suggestive eyes, she had no choice but to leave early.
Lucas and Rachel walked into the elevator one after another.

“Why did Grandpa get angry as you mentioned your marriage?” Lucas thought of Old Mr. Johnson’s angry face and
revealed a helpless expression.
Rachel raised her eyebrows slightly and smiled intriguingly. “He was not angry. He clearly didn’t want to continue
this topic.”
However, the more Old Mr. Johnson was like this, the more curious Rachel was about the origin of this marriage.
Her intuition told her that her grandfather knew the origin of this marriage. However, for some reason…
Perhaps there was something involved behind the marriage, so her grandfather did not want to say and insisted
that she break off the engagement.
Rachel sighed deeply and walked into the elevator.
The two of them had just entered the elevator when Darcy slowly walked out of the stairwell.
He stared at the elevator Rachel was in with a complicated and dark gaze.
