Chapter 656 Steven's heart was racing, far from its usual steady rhythm.

To be honest, it was hard for him to hide things fromas I could always sense when things were off. If he refused to tellwhat he was hiding from me, I knew that I wouldn't be able to get it out from him by asking. "Alright, let's head back to dinner. Steven took my hand and broughtback to our table.

Rachel and the kids were busy eating. She gave us a disdainful look upon seeing us return hand in hand. " What a show-off!" "There was this pretty young woman when we went to the desolate area this time. She was so pitiful and delicate, and Zion was really taken with her. She was abducted by sbad guys. Otherwise, Zion would've returned by now," I said, giving Rachel a sly look.

She looked alarmed and immediately took out her phone to text Zion.

Rachel's subconscious actions and subtle expressions were hard to hide, showing that she truly cared for him. At least, her feelings for him were genuine.

Somehow, I felt relieved and took a bite of fruit, trying not to laugh. I'm just joking. Zion is as straight-laced as they come-stubborn and only cares about serving justice." Zion nodded smugly. "That's true." "So, where are you two at with your relationship? He's not getting any younger. Has he said anything about getting engaged or married?" I asked.

"My mother... opposes it." Rachel looked down, seemingly unhappy.

"She's just too controlling! She insists that I get married to a wealthy man. Funny how she's not seeingat my worth," she said sarcastically, clearly unhappy.

I had heard Rachel talking about her extremely controlling mother countless times. Back in high school, I felt sorry for her having to endure the pressure coming from her mother But I had never seen this mother of hers before.

"Your mother doesn't approve of Zion?" I looked at Rachel in shock. "What kind of man is she looking for, then? She discreetly eyed Steven before tellingwith a mysterious smile, "She wantsto find a wealthy man like Steven.' I parted my lips, glancing over at Steven before saying, "He's not an option-he's taken.' Rachel was amused by my reaction. "Don't worry, I have principles. I won't steal my bestie's man.' I smiled at her, asking, 'What will you do, then? You're already an adult. You can't always listen to her. Zion is a great guy. Although his family isn't well-off, he's a man of integrity." Rachel contemplated for a moment before shaking her head. 'I'm rebelling, but it's going to take stime. Just wait for my good news,' she said softly. I could tell that she had a lot on her mind.

I had been suspecting that there was something wrong with her for quite stnow, yet I couldn't pinpoint any issues.

Perhaps I was too reluctant to lose her as a friend.

Besides, every tRachel spoke about her family and mother, I felt like she wasn't just referring to her" mother' alone.

She said that she was rebelling-was it against gynecocracy, or was there something more she was hinting at? "How about I cover for a meal one day to meet your mother?' I suggested tentatively. Rachel was horrified. "Don't! You'll be walking right into a trap!"

Upon seeing my silence, she said again, 'My mother is the type who is can't stand seeing others do well." Inodded and replied, "Alright then. We'll have the chance to meet someday." Rachel nodded and mumbled, "Hopefully, you'll never get to meet her. I hope she dies soon..."

I looked at her, clearly taken aback.

She instantly put on a smiling face topic and changed the topic. "The steak bites with truffle butter are delicious-as expected of a delicacy that's worth over a hundred dollars!" Like RICH WOMEN? X These women desperately want a mature men! JOIN NOW *Waming* these rich women will persue you.
