Chapter 152 You Are Not God
Chapter 152 You Are Not God
Hiram held Rachel's hand and walked inside the room. "Mom, Rachel bought these red bean cakes
from your favorite shop."
Joanna beckoned them closer and said kindly, "You are so considerate. I have wanted to have these
since days ago. I'm so happy you bought them for me.
God treats me so good. Now, not only do I have a good daughter, but a thoughtful daughter-in-law too!
Hiram, I'm now content with my life."
Joanna smiled gently, then took out a bag and said, "Oh, Rachel! Here's a bag! Lydia bought this for
you from America."
Then she gave that fashionable bag to Rachel.
"Rachel, I don't know your taste, so I chose it on my own. If you're not satisfied with it, please don't
mind." Lydia looked at her with a poker face.
Hiram was about to say something, but Rachel beat him to it. With a calm expression, she said, "Thank
you so much! I like it." Rachel took the bag from her and smiled naturally. She even appreciated the
inside part of the bag with ease.
"But next time, don't buy this for me. Buy more things for our mother, since Hiram has already bought
many bags for me." She turned back deliberately and gave him a wink.
Surely enough, every time luxury bag brands had new arrivals, they would send a few to the Tulip
Palace. All the new bags were stored in her cabinet.
The smile on Lydia's face froze. Shirley was right. Previously, she had underestimated Rachel, as she
was a scheming woman indeed.
"Okay, now let's have dinner!" Joanna let the maid prepare dinner for them.
Rachel went upstairs with Hiram to put the bag in their room.
After entering the room, Hiram watched her casually put the bag inside a cabinet, then charge her
phone without the slightest sign of turbulence on her face.
"During dinner, our mother might invite you to watch Lydia's show. Can you agree?"
He wanted to let her know beforehand. This might be Joanna's reason for inviting them to dinner in the
first place.
Rachel glanced at him and said, "I know. I'll definitely agree. I haven't seen a dance performance
before. Come on, let's go downstairs before Mom has to call us again."
She then held his big, warm hand and walked towards the door.
"I mean...if you don't want to go, I can help you refuse it, " Hiram said.
Lydia had done something utterly inappropriate. Although it had been a while since then, he was afraid
that Rachel would still mind Lydia's presence.
He didn't want her to go there unwillingly.
Rachel hugged him gently, then raised her head and said mildly, "If Lydia can be normal around me,
even if she's just pretending to be, I can accept it. And I'll treat her well. As for the things that happened
before, I won't mention them anymore.
In fact, since she's the daughter raised by the Rong family for so many years, even if I don't consider
your feelings, I have to consider your parents' feelings."
Hiram gently rested his forehead against hers. "Is this really what you think?"
"Yes. I won't mind her at all if she always acts like this, " Rachel replied.
She knew Lydia would never completely accept her.
However, as long as Lydia could pretend to treat her good and didn't make things difficult for her, she
would also maintain a peaceful relationship with her.
During dinner, Just as Hiram had predicted, Joanna said, "Hiram, your sister has a show in H City! It's a
rare opportunity! It's being held tomorrow night. No matter how busy you are, you have to come and
watch it! Remember?"
Joanna finally brought it up when they were finishing dinner.
Lydia also smiled and said, "Yes, brother. I have already told Miranda and Shirley. They all promised to
come. I've reserved a ticket for you.
I've reserved one for you too, Rachel. Please come and support me."
Lydia turned to look at Rachel hopefully.
Rachel exchanged glances with Hiram, then said, "Sure! I promise I'll come. No matter how busy I am,
I'll come there with your brother."
"Really? Thank you, Rachel!" Lydia's beautiful eyes then soon focused on Hiram.
Her biggest wish was to show him her most beautiful side.
However, when she had performed in America, he hadn't come.
But this time, she would let him see the best side of her.
After dinner, Rachel and Hiram stayed instead of returning to Tulip Palace.
Although it was late at night, Rachel couldn't fall asleep. Lying on Hiram's legs, she pulled his hand
over and stared at both of the rings.
Hiram was looking at some documents. When she pulled his hand, he turned to her and asked, "What's
wrong? You can't fall asleep?"
"Um.... I don't know why, but I feel like something's not right. It's hard for me to fall asleep." Rachel
compared his palm with hers. It turned out that hers was much smaller.
"Don't think too much. I'm here, be relaxed." Hiram placed the documents on one side and gently
hugged her.
Rachel leaned her head on his shoulder and said, "You're not God, how can you handle everything?
Some things can't actually be decided by us." Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Like what had happened to her before...
"Sweetie, are you feeling bored because we haven't done anything tonight?" Hiram asked with a playful
smirk. His hand slowly caressed her silky back. His eyes were full of desire.
He had planned to let her rest tonight, but it seemed that he was being too kind to her.
"Hiram, don't touch me! I'm afraid of..." Rachel trailed off, giving in. His hand kept gently caressing her
back, like a feather.
Hiram smiled and stared at her. He was the lure, so attractive that she felt overwhelmed by him.
"Afraid?
I'm going to make you feel satisfied." "No..."
"You're too late. I can't stop what I've started."
Though the lights were turned off, the light of desire had just been turned on.
In the morning the next day, Rachel and Hiram got ready and went downstairs.
Before they left, Joanna said that in the evening, they would all gather here.
The first row of the show was reserved for the Rong family.
When Hiram entered the company, he went directly to his office, while Rachel went to the Cliff
Mountain project team, which was located on the 20th floor.
Since all the staff members were decided, all the research had been done, and all the measurement
results had been out, the department was right on track.
Rachel was good at learning new things. After just a short time, she could already manage the job she
needed to do in every sector. Also, she had picked out the part she was good at. She even asked
Daniel to allow her to do certain tasks.
Since she was just in the beginning stage, if she began with the area that she was an expert at, it
would be easier for her.
Although she was busy the whole day, she enjoyed it, feeling that she was useful in this company.
"Mr. Zhuo, we're going to the theater tonight. Do you want to come with us?" Rachel checked the time.
It was late in the afternoon, so she stretched herself and asked him casually.
Daniel raised his head after busily tapping something on the computer, "No, thanks. I have to work
overtime today. Also, everyone attending will be from the Rong family. I will be embarrassed if I go
there!"
Rachel understood what he meant. She stood up, took the clothes she had prepared in the morning
and went to the bathroom to change into them.
After that, she went back to her desk and grabbed her bag. Since the project had just started, everyone
on the team was busy working. After dinner, it would be 8 o'clock, which was when the show would
start.
"See you tomorrow!"
She waved goodbye to Daniel, then went upstairs to wait for Hiram.
