Chapter 462 I Deserved The Hardest Punishment (1/2)

Rachel opened the door to leave her room but stopped in her tracks when she saw him waiting outside. She stood there for a while staring at him, then stepped back inside and slammed the door.

She hadn't expected to find him waiting outside. Earlier when she thought he had left it gave her sleepless night. But, now that she knew he hadn't left, it just made her more restless.

Rachel paced back and forth in the room anxiously. Her disquietude was so acute that she felt time had slowed down to a torturous pace.

One hour later, she felt she had had enough. She let out a sigh and opened the door, and walked to Hiram.
