Chapter 36 Honor And Cherish Her (1/2)

It was unusual for Hiram to pick Rachel up on his own initiative. Why had he come to pick her up instead of going straight home? Rachel couldn't figure it out.

”Since I've promised to sign the agreement, I should abide by the articles that were drawn up by you. If I don't, how will the agreement have any value?” Hiram responded. He seemed to know what she would ask.

It was clearly written in the agreement that the husband should honor and cherish the wife. Therefore, picking her up voluntarily was his way of keeping his promise to honor and cherish her in consideration of her safety problem. What a good reason!

”But you haven't signed the agreement--” Rachel began, but she was cut off by Hiram.

”Why do you have so many questions!”

He'd known Rachel was a talkative person from the moment he set eyes on her the first time. If he didn't stop her now, she would continue that topic.

Rachel tried to be obedient and closed her mouth. But soon she couldn't help asking Hiram, ”Um, have you had your dinner?”

”No, not yet, ” Hiram replied after a glance at her.

”Well, to thank you for picking me up, I'll treat you to dinner!” Rachel said. She wanted to pay him back so that they would be even and she wouldn't owe him any favors.

Hiram didn't respond, so Rachel took his silence as approval.

”Come on!” Noticing Hiram stay put, Rachel returned to hold his hand and pulled him forward. After a few steps, Rachel realized something that made her abruptly turn around and look at Hiram, who had an odd expression on his face.

A few girls in the snack street had already noticed Hiram. They were looking at him and whispering to one another about how handsome and attractive he was. A few of them were even secretly taking photos of him.

Hiram stood out like a peacock among sparrows. How could he not attract everyone's attention?

”I have an idea. Why don't you wait for me in the car while I buy some snacks, and then we can take the food away?” Rachel suggested. Then she pulled him back to the car.

Hiram didn't argue with her, because he wasn't used to eating on the street like all these people. He wouldn't feel comfortable even if he found a place to sit and eat the snacks.

About twenty minutes later, Rachel returned to the car with many snacks. She sat directly in the backseat so that the smell of the snacks wouldn't be strong enough to make Hiram feel queasy. ”There's a park nearby. It's so late that most people must have gone home. The park must be quiet now. Why don't we go there?” Rachel sugges
