Chapter 505 Longing For Hiram (1/2)

The glare of the car headlights temporarily blinded Rachel.

The man in the car slowly rolled down the car window. He was smiling at Rachel, refined and courteous.

It was Marcus.

”Didn't you go abroad?”

exclaimed Rachel remembering that Marcus told her that he wouldn't be back until next month. How had he returned so soon?

Smiling, Marcus said after a pause, ”I missed you, so I came back.”

Rachel rolled her eyes at him. She didn't say a word but quickened her step homeward.

Marcus matched his Rolls Royce's speed to that of Rachel's pace. ”I'm just joking. Something went wrong with my work there so I decided to come back earlier.

It's a ten-minute walk to your mansion from here. Get in the car. Let me drive you home.”

Rachel continued to ignore Marcus. She jammed her hands in her pockets and kept walking, ”No, thank you. I prefer to walk home myself.”

However, Marcus stopped and parked his car beside the road. He got out of the car and said to Rachel, ”Okay, I have been meaning to go for a walk too. Let me join you.”

When Marcus finished his sentences, Rachel wrapped her coat tighter around her and began to run.

Marcus was surprised. He looked at the sight of Rachel's retreating figure. He couldn't help from bursting into laughter, shaking his head.

Rachel didn't stop running until she reached home. She bent down and took a deep breath. Then she turned around to check whether Marcus had followed her. When she made sure he didn't, she walked into her mansion.

Before she went to her bedroom, Rachel went to check on Jonny and Joyce. They were sleeping.

Rachel got used to living with Hiram. Now she was all alone. She didn't know what to do. So she went to bed after taking a shower but she couldn't fall asleep. She lay on the bed and watched television for a while. Soon, she found the drama too boring, so she picked up her cell phone.

She had received a new message.

”Why did you run away? Are you scared of me?”

read the text from Marcus.

Looking at the message Rachel's thoughts drifted to the memories of that fateful night. She had decided to avoid Marcus at all costs and cut off contact with him. Although Hiram was out of H City, Rachel didn't want to give him a reason to be displeased with her.
