Chapter 288 Enemy At Home (1/2)

Rachel was utterly surprised by his affectionate words. Thus, she quickly walked forward and looped her arms around his waist while saying,”Darling, don't be angry, okay? I'm all yours in this lifetime!”

Rachel remained to embrace him with her cheek against his chest. It was a few seconds later that her eyebrows suddenly furrowed upon remembering something. She had been in a phone call with Hiram earlier, how come he didn't tell her that he would come? ”By the way, why did you come here today?”
