Chapter 82 Luke's Idea
Chapter 82 Luke's Idea
Lydia couldn't accept the fact that he was married. She missed him and so she went to his room and
accidentally stumbled upon the key.
Hiram didn't speak on the other end of the line, Lydia shouted, "Hiram, I know you don't love me. But I
also know that you don't love that woman either. Otherwise, why would you sign the divorce
agreement!
I admit I was being too emotional at the moment. I saw you have already signed it, so on impulse, I......
But, I don't think I did anything wrong. You would divorce her even if I hadn't done anything!"
Hiram closed his eyes wistfully. While clenching his fists, he roared, "Lydia, you'd better stay in the U.S,
and don't come back without my permission!"
After hanging up, he called Luke.
"What? It's shocking news! You didn't tell me that you have signed the divorce papers !" Luke was
scandalized by the news; he knew nothing about it.
"Stop this nonsense!Use all your connections to check the progress. If possible, terminate the process
and withdraw the agreement!" Hiram said impatiently. He didn't have the time to tell him all the details.
Luke nodded and answered him, "okay, I'll do it right away. Why did you sign the agreement? By doing
so you have shot yourself in the foot!"
Hiram was too upset to talk, so he hung up without responding.
Moments ago, he opened the drawer and found that someone had moved his stuff, because the photo
albums were placed in reverse order.
As expected, he didn't find the divorce agreement after thoroughly rummaging through the drawer.
He didn't tell Rachel what had happened, because he knew that it would be a big setback for her.
Rachel was chatting with Joanna in the living room. They were arranging flowers.
The more time she spent with Joanna, the more she felt her mother-in-law was knowledgeable. Joanna
had quite a few interesting hobbies, including flower arrangement.
"Rachel, is your mother feeling better? I want to visit her tomorrow. She must be getting bored staying
at the hospital all by herself." Joanna asked as she snipped off a leaf and started to arrange a bunch of
tulips.
"She was feeling a little better when I visited her last time. In fact, she said that if you are not too busy,
she would love to spend more time with you." Rachel said and handed a lily to her.
Joanna thought about her request for a few seconds, then she said, "Since I am alone at home, how
about I pick up your mom from the hospital after she's discharged? We have many servants; she will be
taken care of at our place."
Rachel shook her head, and said with a smile, "Mom, don't worry, she's used to living by herself and This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
may feel uneasy to stay with you. She'll be happier at her own house."
When Hiram came downstairs, Rachel was talking with his mom. The atmosphere was relaxed, and
they looked gorgeous.
The smile on her face came straight from her heart. Rachel had fully accepted his mom as hers. She
was helping Joanna with trimming and arranging the flowers. She looked quite focused on the task.
What kind of girl was she? He still didn't know everything about her.
He wished that these beautiful moments would last forever, but the divorce agreement might change
everything. He frowned at the thought of the damned divorce agreement.
"Hiram, you are here. Look! How beautifully mom has arranged these flowers." Rachel said cheerfully;
she raised the vase when she saw Hiram coming out.
Hiram walked over. He nodded and said, "Of course, mom is an expert in flower arrangement."
Joanna stopped trimming. She looked at Rachel and Hiram and stood up. "Don't flatter me, you two
really know how to join forces with each other!" said Joanna. "Why don't you both have dinner with me
today? I'll cook for you."
Then she went out and asked a servant to buy some groceries.
Rachel was still busy with the flowers. After cleaning up all the leaves from the table, she stood up and
was going to wash her hands, but she suddenly fell into someone's arms. "Honey, would you please
promise me one thing?" Hiram asked.
She tried to get out of his arms while looking around; fortunately, no one saw them. She poked his
chest and said, "Say what you want, don't beat about the bush!"
Hiram smiled. He was intoxicated by the fragrance of flowers lingering on her. He kissed her on the
head and said, "Promise me, you won't leave me no matter what happens."
"Ah? Did you do anything wrong? Tell me first, I want to know how serious it is. Let me assess the
situation in my own way." Rachel put her hands on Hiram's shoulders with palms lifted. She didn't want
to spoil his clothes with the dirt on her hands.
He sighed slightly and answered, "Nothing happened. It occurred to me just now that I am a married
man and I should cherish my family."
Rachel realized he wasn't going to tell her, so she pushed him away and said, "Get aside. Let me wash
my hands!"
It was still a little early to have dinner, so Rachel took a walk and enjoyed the flowers in the garden.
When she turned around, she discovered that Hiram had been following her.
He was a few steps behind her. Hurriedly, he took a few big steps to catch up with her.
"Hiram..."
"This is my home. What are you afraid of?" Hiram placed his arms around her waist and held her firmly.
She couldn't move.
"Come with me. I'll show you an interesting place." After saying so, Hiram held Rachel by the waist and
took her to the glass-sealed playground behind the yard.
Rachel didn't know anything about this place. She wondered what was a place like this doing in the
Rong's family home. Weren't these facilities built for kids' amusement?
It had almost all types of entertainment equipment for kids including a slide, a seesaw, a bouncing bed
and many more.
"Mom had this built for her future grandson. She saw something similar at a relative's place, and then
she asked a builder to construct the same at her home." Hiram said with his arms crossed in front of
his chest. Right at that moment, he saw Rachel was walking towards a swing, and she sat on it.
There were many entertainment facilities, and it was evident that the owner had considered about the
safety issues in advance. Rachel couldn't help saying, "It seems your mom is eager to have a
grandson, same as my mom. She also urged me today."
When Rachel was enjoying sitting on the swing, Hiram's cell phone rang.
When he saw the name of the person who was calling, he went out of the playground to answer the
call.
"Luke, what about the divorce agreement?"
"Congratulations! Hiram, you are single again! Both of you have signed the agreement, and the court
has accepted it. Now you need to go to the Civil Administration Bureau and get the divorce certificate
when you are free!"
Although it was a bad news for Hiram, Luke couldn't help playing a joke on him. Hiram seldom
encountered setbacks, so maybe it was a good lesson for him.
Hiram's heart sank, as his biggest fear was about to come true.
"Listen, Luke! You'd better keep your mouth shut. If you leak this information, I'll kill you!"
"I know, you don't want to divorce Rachel, right? Lydia was jealous and she wanted to take you away
from Rachel. I have an idea, do you want to hear it?"
Luke tried to help him out.
"Come on!" Hiram lit a cigarette and pushed him.
"You can get Rachel drunk, then prepare a marriage agreement and ask her to sign it. If she is
unwilling to sign, her fingerprint would also work."
Luke thought his idea was not bad.
Hiram snorted disdainfully and said, "I am not that childish!"
Then he hung up.
When he turned around, He suddenly found Rachel standing behind him. He hadn't realized that until
just now.
