Chapter 359 The Last Chance
Chapter 359 The Last Chance
Rachel got back to her senses as she rubbed the cheek that was pinched by the handsome man
beside her. She felt a little bit pain. "No, I just thought you looked better in a shirt..." Rachel trailed off.
She loved shirts. No, to be exact, she didn't love shirts until she met her husband. He looked very
attractive and powerful every time he wore a shirt. It also made him look more charming.
"Really? Okay then. I'll wear only shirts in front of you from now on." Hiram said without thinking. It
wouldn't be a problem to him because he had tons of shirts.
"It won't be necessary. You can wear whatever you like. You look charming to me, whatever you wear!"
"Really? How about when I wear nothing?" Hiram teased.
"For sure... I like it the most!" Rachel teased back. Unlike most women, she didn't have any inhibitions
about provocative talk at all.
They had been married for four years and she had improved in this aspect. Most women would turn red
and get embarrassed when talking dirty or making sexy jokes, not to mention in public.
Just as the sound of Rachel's voice died away, Chad who was driving let out a fierce cough. He
immediately pretended not to hear Rachel's reply and continued driving. 'Obviously, Rachel has been
influenced by her husband. She acted so naturally when she made dirty jokes.'
Hiram sat closer to his wife, a warm smile appearing on the corner of his lips. He said to her ear in a
soft voice,"Good. Later, I won't turn the lights off. You can check everything, inch by inch..."
Rachel winked at her husband with a smile. "Okay." She took a glance at Chad who was already
flushed tomato red, then said to Hiram with a low voice,"How about we do it in another place tonight?"
Since her husband had started it, why not continue? In this fun and sexy game they were playing, she'd
like to know who the winner would be.
"So, where do you want to do it in?" As Hiram looked at his wife, he ran his hand down her soft and
silky long hair. Seeing the smile on her face, he just realized that he hadn't had such an easy
conversation with his wife in ages.
And he knew that it was one of the things he cared for the most. He only wanted his wife to be happy
and feel easy with him. It was the most important thing.
"How about... the reading room upstairs?" She suggested. There was a couch in the reading room with
a piano by the window. Just imagine that. With windows wide open, they would be sitting in the couch,
enjoying the moonlight. He could play the piano as she read some poems. How romantic it would be!
As the night was far gone, she would be sitting on his lap, melting in his dark eyes, his warm smile, his
sweet but strong kisses...
With a buzz, Chad couldn't help but to laugh out.
They were inside a car. Even though they spoke in hushed tones, but he could still hear everything.
'Rachel is so wild. She is superior over Hiram in this aspect.'
"Silence please." Hiram said to Chad with a raised eyebrow.
Chad immediately kept quiet. He stifled a giggle. Then he turned on the stereo.
"Okay, I'll satisfy you." Hiram said in a charming voice as loud as his wife could hear.
"Really? Then, I think..." She said as she bit her lips.
"Sure."
Rachel couldn't help herself. She laughed out and asked,"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure." He answered immediately.
Very soon, they arrived at the East Suburb Street.
It was wedged between the hills and the nearby waters. As it was evening time, the colorful lights on
the boats were lit making for a magnificent and unforgettable scenery.
"Hi! Hiram!"
Lydia greeted. When Rachel and Hiram got out of the car, she saw Lydia coming towards them. When
Rachel saw Lydia, she stood there, surprised. Then she cast a glare at the man who was standing by
her side.
'How come he didn't tell me that the date he asked was Lydia?'
"Hold your horse. I have my reason." Hiram said to his wife's ear, in a soft voice. He then turned to
Lydia who was walking towards them. He greeted back,"Sorry. We're late. I had to pick up my wife."
Lydia was obviously surprised when she saw Rachel. She didn't expect Hiram to bring her.
She thought it would only be her and Hiram for tonight's night tour.
"It's okay, Hiram. It's so great of you bring her out here for some refreshments!" Lydia replied. She
glanced at Rachel, an unnatural expression on her face.
Rachel didn't want to see Lydia.
Fannie was still being held in the police station, partly because of Lydia. Who would like to see this
woman in such a situation? Rachel couldn't figure out why her husband would want to be in her
company.
Perhaps he wanted to set a three-people date because he wanted to reconcile then. When Rachel was
still racking her brains to guess her husband's intentions, she saw a handsome young man in his late of
20s come over. "Hiram?"
"Here you are." Hiram greeted the man who had just joined them. Then he introduced the women to
the young man. "This is my wife, Rachel and this is my sister, Lydia."
"Hi. My name is Wade Yuan. I'm Hiram's junior as we went to the same school. I just came back from
abroad." Wade waved to Rachel but he didn't reach out his hand. He did stretch out his hand to Lydia.
"Hi, Miss Rong. I've heard a lot about you!"
Out of politeness, Lydia reached out her hand for a handshake. "Hi! Just call me Lydia." Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
As Rachel felt confused, Hiram continued. "Wade just came back. He wanted to hang out with me
some time so I asked him if he could join us today."
Wade shot a glance at Lydia and smiled. "I'm glad I came. I feel so honored to know two beauties. By
the way, as I was coming here, I saw a few boats that you could rent and sail out. Why don't we go and
take a night cruise aboard one of those boats?"
Then the four of them walked to the shop. Rachel held Hiram's arm and asked in a low voice,"What is
going on here? You picked me up unexpectedly and asked Lydia to come. Now a good-looking young
man joined us. What's your plan for tonight?"
Hiram smiled but kept silent. He then took her hand and pulled her forward.
Hiram purposely asked for two boats, one for Wade and Lydia, the other for him and his wife.
The two boats were going to the center of the lake. Seeing Wade and Lydia laughing and chatting
freely, Rachel suddenly realized something. But she didn't understand.
"If you want to set a blind date for Lydia, why didn't you set a date for her and Wade exclusively? Why
did you have to bring us here?" Rachel asked, with a doubtful look.
Hiram sat in the cabin. He looked at the other boat opposite them and remained silent for a moment.
Lydia had gone on a few blind dates and at first she refused to go, no matter what.
He had fixed appointments for her to meet a few men but she never went or showed up to those dates.
He didn't have a better idea so he asked Lydia out first before he called Wade to come.
Lydia had an obsession partly because she refused to get close to any man. She didn't give any other
man any opportunity. This explained why she was still single.
But if she could feel the true love of a man, and realize what she had been missing, she might change
her mind. Anyway, it was worth a shot.
Since her husband didn't say a word, Rachel slightly sighed and said,"After all, you still cherish your
sister even though she is a foster daughter of the Rong family. You indeed have cudgeled your brains."
Although Lydia did terrible things time and time again, Hiram chose to forgive her every time.
"You're right. But this is the last chance for her. Since she was lucky enough to be a foster daughter of
our family. In this life, even if she made mistakes, I still will give her a chance. If she could stop making
the same mistakes and let go of the past, I will let her go to any country as long as she won't stay in
this country and live the rest of her life in peace."
"Really? What if she doesn't agree?"
Rachel asked, staring at her husband.
She knew that Gavin had no brothers. He only had a sister who had passed away. Now his adopted
Lydia always made trouble. Although Rachel felt uncomfortable, she still could understand Hiram's
painstaking efforts.
Hiram closed his eyes slowly and said in a deep voice. Hiram's words were as low as a bell, but his
voice was clear and it knocked on each person's heart.
"Since the Rong family could give her a life, it can take her life back too."
Rachel suddenly freaked out. "Hiram, what are you going to do?"
