Chapter 317 Miss Mo (1/2)

It was nothing much, but Hiram finished his piece of music.

”Dad, Mom, it's getting late and I'm going back home now. Rachel and the kids are waiting,” he said and got up. He nodded to Gavin and Joanna and headed to the door.

Lydia stood where she was without moving and her eyes followed Hiram to the door. She felt as if her soul, which had come to life a moment ago, had left with him.

At Tulip Palace.

Rachel walked out of the twins' room after they fell asleep. She stopped and held her breath, but she didn't hear Hiram's car. She sighed deeply and stepped to the window to look outside.

She wondered why she was so paranoid.

Hiram had only gone to his parents' house for his younger sister's birthday party, but she wondered what was making her heart feel so sour.

She stood in front of the window for a while, but the courtyard was still deserted. She walked to her bedroom and decided to wait for Hiram in bed. She held her phone in her hands all the while just in case Hiram called her.

But on the other hand, she was scared that he would call her to tell that he wouldn't come back that night.

As Rachel tossed and turned on her bed, she heard the front door being opened. She got up immediately, opened her bedroom door and ran downstairs. In her hurry, she forgot to put on her slippers.

When she saw that it was really Hiram, she dashed to him and held him in her arms tightly.

”Look at you! Why don't you have your slippers on?” Hiram scolded.

After holding Rachel for a while in a hug, he picked her up.

Rachel wrapped her arms around his neck and murmured,”I couldn't wait to see you. I was so scared.”

Hiram walked to the staircase with Rachel in his arms and burst out laughing,”What are you scared of?” he asked.

”I was scared. I was scared that Lydia would drug you just like what Shirley had done last time. I'm scared that it would happen again. I'm scared…” she said.
