Chapter 522 A New Member Of The Family (1/2)

Hiram's driving instructions nagged her ears as Rachel bit her lip and tried to keep calm. When the car approached the pet store, she braked slowly just like Hiram had told her, and the car grounded to a halt outside the shop.

”Honey, get off,” said Rachel to Hiram as she unfastened her seat belt.

”Why should we get off here?” Hiram asked, having no idea about his wife's intention.

”I want to buy a puppy for the children,” Rachel replied, pointing at the pet store.

”I don't like pets,” grumbled Hiram, frowning at Rachel's mention of buying a puppy.

Hiram had never had pets in the house, not since birth.

”Why? Pets are so cute. Nowadays, it is a common trend to have a pet. I see a lot of friends post pictures with their pets on social media. So I want to buy our children a pet. It will be a good playmate for them, and this will be a good chance for them to build a lasting relationship with animals,”

Rachel said cheerfully, getting off the car.

Despite his unwillingness, Hiram got out of the car reluctantly and entered the pet store behind his wife.

As they entered the store Hiram wrinkled his nose at the odor of the pet store.

Rachel was at ease because the pet store was like any other store to her. She was overjoyed at seeing such cute animals. The lively Teddy, the lazy Shar Pei and the especially the miniature Chihuahua.

”Honey, look, they are so cute. I don't want to get attached to all of them, so tell me which one should we take,” asked Rachel, turning to her husband who was still standing at the door.

”Pets are noisy. Can we just go?” Hiram replied flatly, walking towards Rachel with his hands in his pockets.

The puppies stared at the unfriendly man and kept barking.

Rachel laughed at this scene. ”Oh, I like this one. it's so tiny and cute!” Rachel exclaimed as soon as she saw a minuscule white Pom.

She took the Pom into her arms and brushed his soft white hair with her hand.

”Madam, I must say you have a good sense of choice. It's a purebred royal Pom. We have only one here. He is almost three-months-old, very active, clever and has a good temperament. What's more, it is a very low maintenance dog and it is popular among children,” said the shop assistant who came to help them.

”What do you think? Oh, I really love this one,” asked Rachel, smiling at Hiram with the Pom snuggled in her arms.

Hiram shrugged his shoulders and then said, ”Take it if you like.”
