Their great-grandfathers made a pact about their engagement a hundred years ago...

ed at Joanna.

”Mom, please help me take care of Joyce. I'm going to take a shower.” Rachel gave Joanna the perfect reason to stay longer, knowing that the granny would enjoy a bit more time spent with her adorable granddaughter. Then she put down her cell phone on the tea table and took a glimpse at Lydia, who was sitting on the sofa.

”Okay,” Joanna replied happily without any hesitation.

Lydia smiled and said,”Rachel, don't worry. Mom and I are here. We can take care of Joyce.”

Rachel did her best to smile naturally to Lydia. Then she took her bath robe and walked towards the bathroom.

When she finished her shower and came out of the bathroom, she said goodbye to Joanna and Lydia.

Then Rachel played with Joyce for a little while, but since the girl was very tired of the long day, she fell asleep soon after.

Rachel wasn't going to wait for Hiram to arrive, as he had called her at dinner time, telling her that he would come back late.

However, just as she was getting ready to go to bed, someone knocked on the door.

”Good evening, ma'am. I have a message for you. A Mr. Zhuo asked if you could go to Orchid Garden and meet him there at ten.”

Rachel furrowed her eyebrows. A Mr. Zhuo? Daniel Zhuo?

”Did he mean today or tomorrow?”

”Oh, he meant today. It's nine thirty now. He said that he would be there on time. It is urgent,” said the waiter.

”Okay, I got it. Thank you.”

The door was closed. Leaning against it on the inside, she touched her hair. A confusion spread around her body, like an overflowing river. Now?

Why hadn't he said anything to her during the day? How come he dared to ask her out now? Was he out of his mind?!

Was there really something that urgent that he couldn't wait till tomorrow?
