Chapter 104 The Plan To Have Babies (1/2)
Rachel didn't look in the direction of the door. She cast a glimpse at Shirley.
Shirley dropped the fruit she had just picked up back onto the plate. She tidied her hair up hurriedly and stood up. Her eyes...... were bright with obvious and vehement love and were fixed on Hiram who was entering the house.
Rachel took a sip of tea before turning her head to look at Hiram who was coming towards her.
From the moment Hiram had stepped into the house, his eyes were caught by Rachel who seemed not to be very happy to see him.
He saw Rachel in a gorgeous beige floral print frock with a hemline just above the knee. Her fair and slim shanks were exposed. The high-heeled shoes she wore made her look so sexy.
Especially......
The eyes she turned towards him reproachfully.
Hiram felt excitement surging inside him when Rachel looked at him. He wanted to hold her in his arms and listen to her grievance.
”Mom! Aunts! Good evening!” Hiram walked towards the seniors with a deliberate step. He apologized politely, ”Sorry. There was an emergency at office that only I could handle, so I'm late.”
”Amy, start to serve the dishes!” Hiram said to the house maid behind him.
”Hiram, I know you are busy, so I didn't want to ask you to come over. But the dinner today is different!” Hiram's eldest aunt said, glancing at Rachel standing at the other side of the room.
Joanna also stood up. She said to her twin sister, ”All right. Let's go to the dining room to have dinner.”
When the seniors left and walked towards the dining room, the young people circled Hiram.
”Hiram, your schedule is so busy. We have to wait for you to introduce your wife!” Susan bantered with Hiram with a smile.
”Susan, how could you say that? Hiram is busy. So it doesn't matter that the introduction comes late. It's not a big deal, ” Shirley said and said to Hiram with a big smile, ”Hiram, you must be exhausted! Get ready for the dinner then!”
Hiram slightly furrowed his eyebrows. He smiled with resignation, 'Rachel must have been teased with the same words before I came.'
There were plenty of relatives in the Rong family. It was inevitable that some of them would disagree with Hiram and his family and say something unkind. But they were relatives after all, so Hiram wouldn't create a scene with them.
