Chapter 389 Hirams Father Pleaded With Rachel (2/2)

”Well, my dear wife, stop mourning. Maybe this is the only way to end our problems with her and it is high time that we start living

”You're my wife in name only, on paper only. My heart and love will never be yours.”

Edward made it clear to Daisy that she was nothing to him. They were both victims of family greed -- the marriage was arranged for them.

Six years passed. She remained quiet, gaining a reputation in the army as a tough-as-nails colonel. When she walked into his life again, Edward fell in love with this woman...

rry. I also have responsibility! Please. I beg you to stand up. Please?”

Rachel also knelt down for him and reached out her hands to hold his hand. She wanted him to stand up.

”Rachel! I beg you to leave Hiram. Every time I remember Lydia, I'm heartbroken.” As he spoke, Gavin touched his chest with a dejected face.

”I beg you. I beg you to leave our family. If you leave, your mother will also leave, and I'll feel better. I'm begging you. Please leave, OK?”

As he pleaded with her to leave, he was about to give her a kowtow*, but Rachel stopped him from bending down to the floor. *TN: Kowtow is to kneel and touch the ground with the forehead in worship or submission as part of Chinese custom.

Joanna managed to wipe the tears rolling down her cheeks and tried to convince him. ”Gavin, don't say like that. I'll talk to Rachel. Stand up quickly!” she said.

Rachel and Joanna finally lifted Gavin and carried him towards the bed with great difficulty.

Then Joanna dragged Rachel towards the small room. She wiped the tears from her face and said,”Rachel, I never asked you anything before. This is the first time that I am asking for a favour from you. Now your dad is weak and heartbroken. We can't do anything that would irritate or upset him!

I know that it might be unfair to you. But, but I really have no other option. I just lost my dearest daughter. I can't also lose your dad!

Can you, can you agree to leave? Just leave temporarily. Give some time for your dad to heal his pain of losing his lovable daughter. After few months or so, when he gets back to his normal life, you can return,”

said Joanna with pleading eyes, holding her hand.
