Chapter 120 What’s Wrong With The Flowers (2/2)
Rachel reached for a pink rose this time and began tearing it. She glanced at him and said, ”That does make sense. But I think qu
”You're my wife in name only, on paper only. My heart and love will never be yours.”
Edward made it clear to Daisy that she was nothing to him. They were both victims of family greed -- the marriage was arranged for them.
Six years passed. She remained quiet, gaining a reputation in the army as a tough-as-nails colonel. When she walked into his life again, Edward fell in love with this woman...
gh to her.
”I'm sorry for the interruption! I forgot to knock. Maybe I should come in again. This time, I'll remember to knock, ” Daniel said mockingly. Feeling embarrassed, Rachel buried her head deep into Hiram's arms. She wasn't going to raise her head as long as Daniel was there.
Hiram pinched her red cheek and murmured, ”Don't be shy! I'm your husband. There's nothing wrong in us kissing.”
He then turned to Daniel and asked, ”What's the matter? We're having dinner together?”
”Yup, I've made a reservation at a fancy restaurant. I've already invited Gary and others. What about you two? Coming with us?” Daniel was leaning against the door frame with his arms crossed and waiting for Hiram's response.
Rachel raised her head immediately when she heard that she could go out to have dinner. She had put the awkwardness of being seen kissing Hiram into outer space. She said with shining eyes, ”I'll go with you!”
She had been bored to death for two whole days. She was so desperate to leave and get some fresh air. She was finally getting a chance to go out.
Hiram couldn't take his eyes off Rachel. He told Daniel, ”Text me the address. We'll come later. See you then.”
”Okay, no problem! See you two!” He turned around and left, remembering to close the door behind him.
After Daniel left, Rachel asked Hiram, puzzled, ”Why don't we go there with them now? It's getting late. We need to hurry up.”
”We won't be late. It's a long night for them, ” Hiram told her. He shifted closer and whispered, ”Quiet! Stay with me for a moment. I haven't seen your face clearly for the past few days. I want to see you all the time.”
Rachel didn't say anything. After the accident in Cliff Mountain, she didn't want to restrain her feelings. Since she obviously cared about him, why did she make a fuss of pretending she didn't?
She cared about Hiram, she cared about his safety, and she cared about where his heart was.
”Are we good now? Do you forgive me?”
Hiram asked suddenly. They had enjoyed their quiet moment for a while. His low voice echoed in the ward.
