Wanted: Billionaire's Wife And Their Genius Twin Babies novel Chapter 63

The more she tried to remember, the more her head ached. It was as if her head was going to explode.

She held her head painfully.

"Rachel, are you alright?"

Nathan's worried voice caught her attention.

After recovering from the pain, Rachel stopped trying to recall the deep, dark secrets of her past life.

Holding onto her shoulders, Nathan asked, "Rachel, what happened to you?"

Rachel shook her head lightly. "It's nothing. So sorry I made you worry."

Nathan sighed in relief. "As long as you're okay."

Before Rachel could respond, a middle-aged pair approached them with their glasses of red wine.

"This is Mr. Chapman, isn't it?"

The middle-aged man gestured at Nathan with his glass and smiled.

Hearing the middle-aged man's voice, Rachel froze in shock.

'Isn't that dad's voice? Then the woman beside him...'

The middle-aged woman spoke as she looked at Rachel, "This is your date for tonight, isn't it? She looks beautiful! This dress must have cost a tiny fortune on its own!"

Rachel slowly eased out of her initial stiffness. It was Mr. and Mrs. Bennet!

Nathan smiled and raised his own glass in response. "Of course, my date has to have a decent dress, shouldn’t she?"

Mrs. Bennet nodded. "That's very true. I wonder where her family is from?"

Nathan shook his head, "I don't have an answer for that."

Mr. Bennet shot Mrs. Bennet a look and smiled at Nathan, saying, "We should enjoy ourselves at Edward Bluemel's ball tonight. But my wife is a little loose on the etiquette, I hope you don't mind, Mr. Chapman."

Nathan shook his head again. "It's nothing, I don’t mind it."

Rachel's eyes widened upon hearing the conversation.

‘This is Edward Bluemel's ball?

‘Isn't Edward Bluemel the man Rue married?’

When her mom had forced her away, did she not use the reason that Rachel's reputation had dragged Rue down and made her suffer in the Bluemel family?

From what she could see, this marriage probably made Rue very happy.

'Does that mean the woman onstage was Rue?'

Mrs. Bennet squinted as she constantly stared at Rachel. "Of course I know the etiquette, I just thought Mr. Chapman's date seemed familiar."

Nathan's smile dropped, but he did not speak up.

Sensing Nathan's displeasure, Mr. Bennet tugged at Mrs. Bennet's arm, warning her.

Mrs. Bennet smiled at Nathan awkwardly. "Don't mind me, Mr. Chapman. I just thought the lady seemed a little too quiet..."

Nathan pulled Rachel behind him and stood between the Bennets and Rachel.

"Nathan, please let go of my..."

Before she could finish, a burst of gentle laughter rang beside her ears.

Nathan and Rachel turned around together to find Edward and Rue in their black masks.

Rue chuckled softly as she held onto Edward. "Isn't this Nathan? Why, are you and your date flirting here?"

Edward glanced at Rachel, but his gaze focused on her lively eyes.

This pair of eyes were almost identical with the pair of eyes on that fateful night.

Nathan held Rachel's hand tightly in his hand and smiled cordially at Rue.

"You must be making a fool out of me. We're not flirting. At most, it could count as showing affection."

Rue laughed softly and generously. "Is it? Oh Nathan, my husband here keeps telling me about you. He said you’re his only friend! But I didn't know you had a girlfriend. When are you planning to tie the knot?"

Seeing Rue's pretense, Rachel's eyes were cold and full of disgust.

Rue would only put on this behavior in front of other people because when she was bullying her at home, Rue would never behave this tamely.

Nathan held tightly onto Rachel's hand and pulled her into his arms. "Don't worry, if we're going to tie the knot, I will personally make sure you and Edward are invited."

Seeing Rachel's disgust and coldness, Edward followed her gaze and looked at Rue at his side.

He squinted. 'This woman is interesting.'

Rue nodded. "My husband and I will definitely bring gifts when such an occasion happens. I wonder, which upper-class family does your date come from? Don't be shy to tell me, I might actually know her."
