Chapter 147 Spit It Out (1/2)

Rachel looked at the wet carpet with the pill still in her mouth. The glass had been knocked out of her hand so suddenly that she was too surprised to swallow the pill.

”Spit it out!”

Hiram put his hand under her mouth and stared at her coldly.

”Hiram, ” Rachel murmured. She was uncomfortable being stared at that way so she spit the pill onto his palm.

”What are you doing? I'm just trying to take a pill. We haven't even had a wedding. I don't want to be pregnant.”

Hiram crushed the pill into powder and said, ”Don't take it anymore. I changed my mind. It will be better if we have our child soon.”

”Really?” asked Rachel. She looked at Hiram in disbelief. Hadn't he said before that he didn't want a child in the coming year? Why would he change his mind?

”Don't look at me like that. I'm already thirty. Of course I want to have a kid of my own.” Hiram glanced at her as he shook off the powder from his hand. Then, he grabbed his coat and walked towards the door.

”Get ready and come downstairs to have breakfast. We can go to work together after that!”

Rachel watched him in confusion as he walked out of the room, wondering what had made him change his mind. Was it possible that her mother-in-law wanted a grandchild?

Maybe.

At Streams Company...

Rachel was sitting in front of her computer and learning how to draw when Daniel threw a new ID card at her, walking towards her.

”What? Daniel, that girl you were with yesterday was hot, so why do you look so low?” asked Rachel. She hadn't looked at what was on her desk yet. She assumed it was another document.

She glanced at Daniel, who was sitting in front of her desk, and said, ”Sorry, Daniel. I take back my words. Take care of yourself.”

Daniel rubbed his forehead and crossed his legs. He squinted at Rachel and asked, ”Rachel, yesterday...was that guy your ex-boyfriend?”

”What?” Rachel turned around to glance at him before she returned to her computer and said, ”Nope, we had a few dates before but it didn't work out.”

Daniel stood up suddenly and walked towards Rachel. He grabbed her hand which was holding the mouse and said, ”You silly girl. You're doing it wrong. You have to click here before you draw, get it?”

Feeling a little awkward, Rachel pulled her hand away. Daniel was standing so close to her that she could almost feel his chest on her back. She pushed him away gently with her shoulder and said, ”Okay, I get it. But I'm new here!”
