Chapter 58 The End Of The Vacation
Chapter 58 The End Of The Vacation
Rachel immediately covered her mouth and opened her eyes. After riding the horse for one round,
Rachel got used to the speed of the horse. "I'm sorry. This is my first time riding a horse. I am just a
little scared, " she said to Hiram.
Hiram took a deep breath. He wondered why he always found it hard to keep his breathing every time
he was with Rachel. A single movement from her could easily trigger his lust. It was so tormenting.
After riding two more rounds, Hiram got off from the horse, leaving Rachel alone on it. Rachel didn't
dare to move casually now that Hiram wasn't there with her. She just let the horse slowly walk forward.
Soon enough, Hiram led another horse out. He valiantly mounted the horse like a brave hero. After he
whipped at the horse, it immediately galloped towards the vast prairie.
Rachel frowned at the scene. Was he trying to show that he was enjoying himself much more when he
wasn't riding the same horse with her?
But she was quickly distracted by Anya, who taught her the basic skills needed for riding a horse.
Rachel learned for a while before getting off the horse to take some rest.
Half an hour later, Hiram came back on his horse. As soon as he got off, a worker went up to him and
helped him lead the horse back to the stable. Carl came over and handed Hiram his phone before
whispering something into his ear.
During these two days, Carl only showed up when Hiram had work to do. Apart from that, he made
himself as invisible as possible so that he wouldn't affect the development of Hiram and Rachel's
relationship.
Hiram answered Luke Jian's call. "Hello."
"Hiram Rong, your dear younger sister is unwilling to go back to America. I've tried my best. There's
nothing else I can do, " Luke complained. For the past two days, Luke had been putting in a lot of effort
to persuade Lydia to go back to America. However, Lydia remained stubborn about her decision to
stay.
Walking to a nearby bench, Hiram took a towel and wiped off the sweat on his forehead. "There's
nothing you can do? I thought you always had a lot of methods to solve any problem! That's why I
asked you to help me with this matter in the first place, "
Hiram said as he took the bottle of water that Carl handed to him. He raised his head and drank a
mouthful from it.
"Hiram, you're overestimating me. I'm not that great. If you asked me to help you with a lawsuit, then of
course, I'd be capable of it. That's what I specialize in. But now, you're asking me to deal with Lydia, a
weak and spoiled girl. I can't even touch or scold her. What should I do? How can I help you?"
Luke said in a helpless voice.
"Who said that you can't touch her? You have my permission, " Hiram said. "If you can make her fall in
love with you, I'll be happy to call you my brother-in-law."
Hiram's words dumbfounded Luke.
He paused for a while and then said, "Hiram, to be frank, if your sister wasn't so crazy in love with you,
I might try to pursue her. But she's head over heels into you. She's willing to even die for you. So no,
I'm really not interested in chasing after her."
Moreover, though Lydia was very beautiful, she wasn't the type of woman that Luke liked.
"Really? Fine, so that's all you can do. Leave her alone then. I'm flying back tonight, I'll handle the
matter myself after I return, " said Hiram. He hung the phone up abruptly and threw it to Carl, who was
standing behind him.
Carl easily caught the phone and said, "Hiram, Lydia called thirteen times yesterday demanding to talk
to you directly. I made all kinds of excuses to refuse her. This morning, she called three times again."
Hiram didn't respond. He stood up from the bench and wiped off his sweat with the towel again. Then,
he walked towards Rachel and Anya. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Anya was holding her phone and taking a selfie together with Rachel. When she noticed that Hiram
was approaching them, she pulled Rachel's arm and said, "Rachel, go over to Hiram now. I'll take a
photo of both of you together."
Rachel turned her head to look at Hiram. His outfit today had similar style to hers. It looked like they
were wearing lovers' clothes, so they might look like a good match in the photo.
But Rachel hesitated. Should she take a photo with him?
"Hurry up! Hiram doesn't like taking photos. You can't miss this golden opportunity!" Anya urged
Rachel. She discreetly aimed her phone camera at Hiram.
Rachel walked up to Hiram and tried to start a conversation with him. "Hiram, is there anything urgent?
If you have something important to handle, we can go back home early. Anyway, I've already had a
great time here."
Distracted by Rachel's question, Hiram didn't notice Anya at all. He looked at Rachel, who was holding
his arm, and said, "Yes, then I'll change our evening flight to an afternoon one. You can pack up your
luggage when you return to the room."
While they were talking, Anya was waiting for the best moment to take a photo of them. Right at the
right second when Hiram lowered his head to look at Rachel, and Rachel slightly leaned her head
against Hiram's shoulder, Anya clicked the shutter and perfectly captured their romantic moment.
But Hiram, noticing that Rachel was acting strange, jerked his head up to look at Anya.
He instantly understood their intention. He knew very well that Rachel wouldn't be so intimate with him
without a reason. He still remembered the time when she pretended to be intimate with him in the
shopping mall last time so that she could ask him to teach a man a lesson.
Seeing the realization in Hiram's eyes and knowing that he had discovered their trick, Rachel blinked
and shrugged. She let go of him and walked back to Anya.
Rachel looked at the photo on Anya's phone and said, "Anya, remember to send that photo to me.
Hiram said that we'll be flying back in the afternoon. I'm going back to my room to pack up."
Anya raised her head and glanced at Hiram before shifting her eyes to Rachel. "Okay, I'll retouch the
photo and send it to you later, " she said. "You can use it as a screen background. Since you've
decided to leave in the afternoon, I'll go to the airport with you and see the two of you off."
Rachel nodded and walked towards the car that Carl had driven over.
Hiram was still standing there. It seemed like Anya wanted to say something to him.
"Hiram, I think Rachel's a great girl. Although I've known her only for a short time, I'm sure that I'm not
wrong, " Anya said as she stared at Hiram with her beautiful blue eyes.
There were always a lot of women around Hiram, but only a few of them could keep in touch with him
like a good friend. Anya was one of them.
"Yes, I know. Otherwise, even if she was the woman chosen by destiny itself, I still wouldn't accept her,
" Hiram said in a firm voice and glanced at his car.
Anya nodded her head and said, "Hiram, please bring her here to visit me more often. From now on,
both of you are my good friends forever."
She walked up to Hiram and hugged him.
Hiram patted her shoulder and said, "Yes, I will. The next time I come here, I hope I'll see that you've
gained your happiness, too."
Anya closed her eyes, held his shoulders and shook her head. She said smilingly, "I just haven't had
the luck of meeting my Mr. Right. But I'm sure that I'll be able to meet someone as excellent as you!"
Hiram let go of her and nodded. "I should get going now."
Then he walked towards the car.
Hiram had been able to maintain his friendship with Anya, because Anya was a woman who was
resilient about love. She was able to give up her love for Hiram and treat him as a friend instead of
lover.
Rachel saw Hiram approaching and moved herself a bit to let him sit beside her. She hadn't heard what
they had talked about outside the car, but she had noticed the look in Anya's eyes. Anya didn't want
Hiram to leave.
Rachel really admired Anya. She was a free and easygoing woman who had the courage to both love
someone wholeheartedly and give up her love. She was indeed a very respectable woman in Rachel's
eyes.
In the afternoon, Anya came to the airport and saw off Hiram and Rachel like she had promised.
It was already evening when the plane landed in the airport of H City.
Instead of going back to his villa first, Hiram went to the Rong family's house.
But Rachel wasn't accompanying him this time.
Right after getting off the plane, Rachel had heard Hiram talking anxiously on the phone. It seemed like
something serious had happened at his house, and Rachel didn't want to interrupt him.
