Chapter 466 Carrying You Is Just Part of My Daily Routine (1/2)

Hiram hesitated for a moment. He looked at her, eyes smiling, and asked,”You're asking if I'm scared of you?”

”Right. Are you?” Rachel urged, and winked at him expectantly.

To be honest, Rachel couldn't see Hiram being scared of her - or of anyone, for that matter.

After holding it in for as long as he could, Hiram finally let out a loud laugh.

Just as she had expected.

”Stop laughing! Just answer the question! Have you ever been scared of anyone before?” she pushed him playfully, wondering what weaknesses were hidden within the man before her.

”Of course, I'm flesh and blood like everyone else. And I told you just now, I'm scared of you!” Hiram grinned. His laughter faded as he looked at her, and realized just how true this was.

After they married, he had often felt scared and surprised that he could possess such depth of feeling.

When she had been kidnapped at the theater, he had been confronted with his fear, and was forced to consider that she might not survive.

When she went into labor, delivering their twins, he had feared again that he would lose her.

When she had run away after Lydia's jumping, he was terrified that he would never see her again for as long as he lived. This fear lingered in his heart, and prickled behind his eyes when he looked at her.

Yes, he was afraid of her. If there was anything or anyone that Hiram Rong could possibly be afraid of, it must be Rachel.

She was his one weakness.

It was getting dark, and the lights in the amusement park began one by one to flicker to life. All of a sudden, the world around them began to look like a hazily lit dream.

”Really? Is that true?” Rachel's eyes were widened. Before he could answer, she stretched out her arms and demanded that he carry her,”One lap around the fairground. Only then will I forgive you for what you did last night.”

She winked at him and pointed her chin at the expansive ground, which stretched as far as the eye could see.

Why did he carry another woman last night?

”Alright, but is one lap enough? You know I can do better than that!” Hiram replied. Hiram's tone was indulgent. He bent over immediately and whisked her into his arms.
