Chapter 268 Truth Or Dare



Chapter 268 Truth Or Dare

"Hey, how old are you?" Johnny asked. It was probably because of the alcohol that he became bolder. As he faced the woman in front of her, he couldn't help but be overwhelmed with curiosity.

"Why did you ask?" Rachel asked.

He shrugged. "I'm just curious. You're really young."

In fact, she was far from being the hottest woman in the yacht. She didn't have that much of an enchanting face. At the sight of Rachel, Johnny couldn't help but wonder what Jack saw in her.

"I'm twenty-four."

"Twenty-four?" Johnny raised his eyebrows.

"So you're not that much older than me. How did the two of you meet?" He turned over to lean against the railing, glancing over at her with questioning eyes.

Rachel gazed into his eyes and pursed her lips. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

"You ask so many questions, don't you?"

she commented, but she wasn't the slightest bit annoyed. Seeing this, Johnny became even more interested in her.

He looked down to see that Jack was standing there with his friends. A smile slid into his lips. "Come on, I'm just curious."

"Well, we grew up together." Rachel made no secret about it as she shrugged. "We knew each other ever since we were children."

His jaw dropped and his eyes widened. "Wow, so you're practically childhood sweethearts."

Given the way that they stared into each other eyes, he could tell that they truly did fell in love with each other. However, he was curious as to what kind of woman Rachel was to win the cold man's heart.

He didn't expect that they actually knew each other from a young age, and Jack had always treated her like a diamond he had found on the bayside. 'She's outstanding,' he thought.

"You can say that." She chuckled. "Happy Birthday, Johnny."

He flushed in embarrassment, scratching the back of his head. "Thank you. I just wanted to talk to you, you see.

I hope you don't mind," he added as an afterthought. "Mind what?"

"Don't tell him!"

"Him?" She furrowed her eyebrows.

"Your husband."

Rachel bit back her laughter. "Don't worry. I won't."

Johnny wanted to reach out and pat her shoulder. However, he soon stopped himself after realizing that it might be inappropriate. He withdrew his arm awkwardly.

Suddenly, someone called him, "Johnny! Where the fuck are you?"

Immediately, the man stuck his head out of the fence and wiggled his eyebrows. "Daddy's here!"

The group of men yelled and bickered with one another as their laughter echoed across the yacht.

They were definitely here for a good time.

Although she didn't know them very well, Rachel got along with them.

Jack also went along as he drank some wine. After the barbecue dinner, it was time for the birthday boy to cut the cake. They cheered as they gathered around.

Luckily, the yacht was big enough that they didn't need to crowd over.

Jack didn't engage in the game this time. Instead, he pulled Rachel to a more quiet side where they could enjoy the seas and the activity before them.

They could see Michael and Marcus joining in as their faces lit up.

They stood near the handrail, staring as the waves splashed against the yacht. She lowered her head to gaze at the dark seas before averting her stare.

Suddenly, something occurred to her. "Have you met them a long time ago?" she asked curiously.

Seeing the group of people wiping the cake all over Johnny's face, a flicker passed by his eyes.

They were all childish. However, even then, he bit back a laugh.

In order to maintain a good image, he confessed, "We do drink often, but it's nothing like this.

This is just too childish."

Rachel smiled in reply.

In a while, they were asked to return.

Some of them suggested that they could swim in the seas at night, but the idea alone was just too dangerous, so it quickly got rejected.

But they all agreed that they wouldn't go back for the night.

Instead, they all planned to wait for the next sunrise.

This was why they all decided how to kill the time.

In the end, they all settled for the Truth or Dare.

Jack was included, but he wasn't that into the game at all.

The main purpose of today's trip was to relax Rachel.

Although Jack was happy to be with them, playing a game wasn't part of his priorities. Besides, he wasn't as childish as Michael and Marcus.

As the bottle swirled, everyone leaned in anticipation.

The Truth or Dare they were playing was actually the safest one in the entire history. Everyone knew not to throw in personal questions to the young men, especially given their reputation.

No one dared dig deeper into their privacy.

A woman swirled the bottle until it pointed to Jack.

Everyone gazed at him, as if waiting for him to speak up. Even Rachel was looking at him.

The woman blinked her large eyes as she gulped. She had bad luck to pick out the most private man in the group.

There was just something about Jack's presence that frightened her. Although she had no idea who he was, she got a good idea that he had a very powerful background.

At this point, she didn't know what to ask.

Michael wasn't afraid of Jack at all. Instead, he turned to the woman. "Ask whatever you want to know. If you don't know what to ask, then I can give you a clue."

He smiled, trying to make her feel more at ease.

The woman chuckled shyly before turning him down. She then turned to discuss her question with another woman sitting right next to her.

"Can I ask you anything?" she asked.

Jack smiled. "Anything." Of course she could ask any question she wanted, but the difference was whether Jack was willing to answer it honestly or not.

Johnny couldn't help but roll his eyes at the woman's hesitance.

Suddenly, the woman had an idea.

She waved her hand exasperatedly at her group of friends. "I already have one!"

They shared a look, wondering what she was going to ask.

Rachel tilted her head as she anticipated the woman's question.

Suddenly, Jack became the focus of everyone's attention. He leaned back casually. "Just ask me whatever you want to know."

"How many girlfriends have you had?" she carefully asked the question. She thought it was harmless enough.

Besides, everyone in the yacht probably had lots of girlfriends.

However, what slipped their minds was the fact that Rachel was sitting right beside him.

People who didn't know the truth were waiting for his answer while the people who knew them had a subtle expression on their faces.

The woman thought that the question wasn't an invasion of his privacy.

However, it was different for Jack. His eyes flashed just a bit.

Marcus and the others all knew for a fact that he could only consider one woman as his girlfriend.

Celine was the only one they'd consider as his girlfriend.

But if he mentioned Celine,

it would only be embarrassing for Jack and Rachel.

After a moment of silence, the woman joked, "Is it too much that you can't remember?"

"One," he answered indifferently.

"Really?"

"Seriously? Just one?"

"Must be Rachel. That lucky girl."

Upon hearing the last comment, Johnny quickly interrupted, "Next."

He was so embarrassed that he couldn't find it in himself to look at Jack. People who had no idea what had happened might not feel much of a difference.

If Rachel wasn't here, then the question wouldn't be hard to understand.

Most of the people present didn't understand the entire situation. When they heard that Johnny was about to enter the next round, they immediately turned around.

Jack felt relieved that the attention was finally off him. He turned to look at Rachel, who was smiling.

When she caught sight of her staring at him, he quickly turned away.

They sat cross legged until late at night. At that point, Rachel was already sleepy.

There was a room they could rest in at the back. She was so exhausted that she walked back first.

Other people were still obsessed in their games. Some of them were playing cards while the others were throwing their dice.

They had four hours left till sunrise. When Rachel stood up and left, Jack's gaze followed her. He pulled Michael over and gave his set of cards to him.

"What are you doing?" Michael furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. Michael followed his friend's gaze. When he saw what was happening, he teased, "Oh, she must be angry. You better comfort her."

Jack pretended to be confused. "What are you talking about? We're good."

Michael burst into laughter and patted Jack's shoulder. Without another word, the man turned back to his set of cards.

The other three men on the table laughed. "Jack must be so whipped."

Michael snorted with a grin.

Rachel was walking back to the room when Jack quickly caught up to her.

She yawned.

"Are you cold?" he asked.

She yawned again and shook her head. A smile tugged across her lips. "No, I'm just sleepy."

As the ship moved with the waves, Jack reached out to hold her hand. His thumb grazed across her skin.

Feeling her warmth against him, he smiled. "I'm a little sleepy too. Why don't we go back and get some rest?"

She raised an eyebrow. "You don't want to play cards with them?"

"No."
