Chapter 411 His Well-guarded Woman
Chapter 411 His Well-guarded Woman
Hiram knew that Rachel was patient with hardships. She left without any valuables except a Rolex
watch.
He was looking at the back of the watch when an idea suddenly came to mind. Then, he threw it to
Chad and said,"Refit this watch."
Chad caught the watch. Looking at the delicate one, he confusedly asked,"What do you mean 'refit'?
How?"
Hiram turned back to give him a sweeping glance.
Chad realized what he meant and replied,"Okay." Then he put the watch into his pocket.
"Hiram, are you sure you won't attend the meeting tomorrow?" Chad asked. He thought it wasn't a
good choice, for Hiram's absence would result in severe consequences.
"Stop talking nonsense! Or you can go back to H city now," Hiram said coldly. He took the watch and
some other valuable things out and then closed the suitcase. "Throw it out."
Chad hesitated. 'Is this the suitcase that Rachel asked Carl to take back from the train station? It
seems important to her.'
"Can't you hear me? I don't want to repeat it for twice," Hiram grew impatient and said in a low voice. In
his opinion, these clothes were cheap and poor in quality, and they would damage Rachel's skin.
He provided Rachel with a decent life and treated her like a princess. He wouldn't let those cheap
clothes sully her.
Rachel wore these clothes because he wasn't on her side, but now that he was here, he must throw all
these things away.
In the next room, Rachel woke up and felt that her eyes were swollen.
She looked at the clock and found it was 10 in the morning.
'Where is Nadia?' she thought.
Rachel packed things up, put on her coat and took her bag before leaving her room.
She went to ask the receptionist where Nadia was. The staff said that she had been taken away.
She was looking for Hiram to ask about Nadia when Carl came over. "Rachel, good morning! Hiram is
waiting for you at the dining hall. You must be hungry."
Hearing this, Rachel walked towards the dining hall without any hesitation.
"Rachel, don't be impulsive! You know what you had done with Hiram's heart. He was like a walking
corpse during those days. He lacked sleep for several days, and I can't help him at all!" Carl prompted
after her.
"You can ask Chad and Ben if you don't believe me. Hiram had lost a lot of weight, and it is obvious to
us,"
he continued and caught up with Rachel. Suddenly, Rachel, who was walking before him, stopped.
"Carl, is my mom okay?"
"Aunt Ruan? Of course. Hiram had sent someone to look after her. Don't worry," answered Carl,
assuring her that Hiram was careful about such things.
"Uh… Did he mention something else? Something like a divorce agreement?" asked Rachel intently, as
she was emotional about it yesterday, But she had become calm concerning it. When she carefully
thought of it, Rachel considered that Hiram must have known her reason for leaving. She didn't believe
that Hiram would sign the divorce agreement without thinking about it thoroughly.
"Divorce agreement? No. Why should there be a divorce agreement? Hiram loves you so much. The
last thing he can do is divorce you," retorted Carl.
What he said was true. It was impossible for Hiram to divorce Rachel.
Rachel thought about Chad's words while walking towards the dining hall until she realized that it was
already right in front of her.
No matter where Hiram was, the crowd always followed him. Everyone would focus on him. Rachel
only had to follow the eyes of girls or aunts until she was able to find him.
Carl pulled out a chair for her and joined the neighboring table with Chad.
"Where is Nadia?" Rachel asked straight to the point as she sat down.
She intended to leave with Nadia to find Shirley, Nadia's mother, after she woke up.
However, the staff told her that Nadia had been taken away by Hiram.
Hiram was cutting the steak on his plate when he heard Rachel. He looked up to her and answered,"I
asked someone to bring her back to H City."
"Excuse me?" Rachel was surprised by Hiram's words and was about to stand up. "Why did you send
her back? Shirley is her mother. How can a child leave her mother?"
Hiram put a forkful of fillet steak in his mouth, and then took a sip of juice. After doing all these, he said
leisurely,"I asked someone to check the current situation of Shirley.
A human trader kidnapped Nadia, and Shirley rescued her. They have escaped thousands of miles to
get rid of the trader. However, they were still in danger. Shirley could not protect Nadia alone. Nadia will
get traded if there is no total protective measure."
What Hiram didn't tell Rachel was that Shirley got beaten within an inch of her life. She was also busy
enough with her own affairs.
He didn't tell Rachel because he knew it would swell her troubles.
"So where is she now?" Rachel asked nervously. She felt pity when she thought that there was no one
beside Nadia, a two-year-old child.
"Tulip Palace. She will have fun with Joyce and Jonny," answered Hiram. Strictly speaking, Shirley's Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
child had a relationship with his mother, so there was no problem for Nadia to stay at Tulip Palace.
He said this even though he hated Shirley and didn't want to see her for the rest of his life, yet he
wouldn't want to take it out on a two-year-old kid.
"You care about another's child so much. What about Jonny and Joyce? Don't you miss them these
days?"
Rachel lowered her head and took a sip of vegetable soup with her spoon shaking lightly upon hearing
what Hiram said. Yet she didn't say anything.
"I will go back to H City after this meal. What about you?" Hiram asked in a flat tone.
In fact, he wasn't as calm as he looked. Hiram secretly observed the expression in Rachel's eye and
her every movement.
"I want to go back to North Sea City. I left hastily without presenting my resignation," said Rachel. She
thought that there was still a need to follow the procedure if she wouldn't work there anymore.
"Do you mean you want to meet Marlon? He is still here, sleeping in the room upstairs," said Hiram. It
was too late last night, so they ordered several rooms to take a rest.
Rachel blinked as she said she knew that. She drank the soup off and stood up to leave.
After Rachel left, Hiram threw the knife and fork from his hand to the plate and wiped his mouth with a
paper towel. He lost his appetite to eat.
By the hallway upstairs, Rachel found herself standing before Marlon's room
and eventually knocked at the door.
After a while, Marlon rolled himself in the quilt and opened the door. He yawned as he asked
Rachel,"Mrs. Rong, what's up? What are you doing here?"
