Chapter 299 Lets Meet At Ten Osclock (1/2)

Rachel had totally sunk in her thoughts, when Daniel stood up suddenly and shouted!

It was good he reacted so quickly. While Rachel was just standing there, not quite realizing yet what was happening, Daniel swiftly grabbed and held her tightly into his strong arms.

Only after that did Rachel grasp the whole situation -- a ten-year-old boy was riding a skateboard and he was going too fast to stop. The skateboarder almost hit Rachel, but thank God, Daniel pulled her into his safe arms in time!

”I'm so sorry! I had gathered too high speed and couldn't stop.”

The little boy apologized to Rachel.

”That's okay. I didn't get hurt. But, please, be more careful next time!” Rachel stood up, setting herself free from Daniel's embrace. Suddenly she thought that this little boy might have been an employee's son, since many people brought their children with them when they came here. Looking around, Rachel could see so many kids playing.

”Thank you!” The little boy expressed his gratitude to Rachel, and then he got his skateboard and went away.

With a sigh of relief, Rachel looked at Daniel, who was standing behind her, and smiled at him. ”Thank you, Daniel. Isn't it interesting? It seems that every time I have a problem, you're always there for me, providing me all the help and support that I need.”

Daniel was crazy for Rachel's dazzling smile, satin gentleness and soft words. Confused and still excited from holding her in his arms just few minutes ago, he touched the silver earring on his left ear out of habit and said,”You're welcome, Rachel. Remember what you told me? We're friends forever. As friends do, I must protect and help you when you're in trouble.”

Rachel didn't say a word. She just looked at Daniel, smiling.

At this moment, they seemed to understand each other so well that silence spoke louder than words.

In the accident, the two of them had had a very close physical contact, which was seen by someone else. This person was Lydia.

As she looked at Rachel and Daniel from a distance, her beautiful eyes widened from interest. Now she already knew for sure that not only Patrick liked Rachel, but Daniel had fallen for her too. Although Rachel was trying to be very careful about Patrick, she seemed much more friendly and open to Daniel.

”Would you excuse me, young lady?”

Holding her boyfriend's hands, Celine was walking towards Rachel, when she bumped into Lydia, who was still standing in the corner and quietly observing Rachel and Daniel. Celine hadn't met Lydia before, so she didn't know that this beautiful woman over there was actually her.

Celine had a naturally loud voice.

“Who does she think she is? I won’t marry her even if she is the last woman on earth,” said Hiram Rong.

“Marry into a family with tens of billions of assets? How lucky I am! I won’t be so foolish as to break off the engagement. At worst, I can receive money as part of the divorce settlement,” said Rachel Ruan.
