Chapter 326 At Your Command (1/2)

Rachel and Hiram exchanged a smile as Chad opened the door for her.

As soon as she was seated, Hiram handed her over a paper bag,” I passed by the bakery earlier. I got you your favorite.” he said softly.

Rachel took the paper bag and it was warm in her hands as if it was freshly baked right out of the oven.

She shoved a mouth of the bread before linking her arm around his. She leaned on his shoulder,” Hiram, I'll be out tomorrow morning. I'll make sure to talk to you then. I should be back in the afternoon.”

”Oh? Really? I'll also be out tomorrow and will be back in the evening. That makes us even. But I have to ask Carl to follow you.” Hiram said in his soft voice.

Rachel looked up to him with a mouthful of bread,” Of course, no problem. Carl can follow me. He can be my chauffeur.”

Hiram took a bite from the bread Rachel was holding,” Well, take care, okay? Call me if you need anything.”

She smiled at his words as she wiped the crumbs off his mouth using her fingers,” Of course, you're my stronghold. As long as you're around, I'm not afraid of anything.”

But as much as possible, if she could do things on her own, she would.

”That's good to know.” Hiram put an arm around her waist and leaned in close enough that the tip of his tongue was brushing against her earlobe.

Rachel shivered and a blush flushed on her cheeks especially that she saw Carl was peering at her.

Hiram gave her a sweet smile. Sometimes it was too much for him to handle how lovely Rachel was.

Back home;

Hiram, Fannie, Jonny, and Joyce along with Rachel all sat together to have family dinner - they were rarely complete.

While they were having dinner, a lot of the attention was put on only two of the siblings.

Jonny finished all of the rice in his small bowl while Joyce devoured all the rest.

”But sister, your share is on the table...” Jonny reminded her softly.

Joyce glanced at the rice on the table but she didn't care,” It's not too much! Don't be such a fuss!”
