Chapter 122 Challenge Me

"Hey, gorgeous! Are you with someone now? Listen, my apartment is just a few blocks away. Why don't you come and have a drink with me?" The drunken girl was swaying back and forth as she reached out for Hiram's arms. She had long hair, and she was wearing a miniskirt and high heels.

But before she even got the chance to touch him, she was interrupted by loud yelling.

"Are you a robber? Why are you standing so close to him? I see you've got beautiful eyes. Aren't they working? Didn't you see me? He is with me now, understand? You want to go out with him? Fine, stand and wait in line. I believe your turn will come someday. Now, get out of my way!"

Rachel had rushed in front of Hiram and yelled at the drunken girl. She put both her hands on her waist and prepared for a fight. As long as she had Hiram with her, she would be up for any challenge.

Seeing Rachel show up out of nowhere and rob her prey, the drunken girl rolled up her sleeves and pointed her finger at Rachel. "He is with you? Maybe he was, but he's mine now. Listen carefully, no one can rob the man I'm interested in from me, never! Who do you think you are?"

The girl shouted loudly. She had gotten people's attention. Daniel, who had been chatting with some girl quite a distance from them, turned to her.

Chad was already striding towards them. He was going to deal with the situation, but stopped after seeing Hiram's secret gesture.

As far as Hiram was concerned, this was a big occasion, a breakthrough.

Rachel had been provoked by a drunken girl because of him. He wasn't going to let anyone step in. He wanted to see what Rachel was going to do.

"Who am I? It's none of your business. You said you're interested in my man. Let me tell you something, I've been challenged before and I will be challenged again. But no one ever succeeds. Mark my words!" Rachel stood in front of Hiram and shouted. She was speaking as if Hiram was her property and no one could touch him except her.

They had enjoyed a nice dinner, but it seemed that they didn't have enough entertainment. Hiram didn't mind though.

"I can't succeed? What a joke! I always get what I want, especially good-looking men! You'll see." The girl pointed at her own nose and began laughing madly.

Another girl who seemed to be her friend came forward and grabbed her arm. She tried to drag her away but was pushed aside.

The girl was too drunk to realize how ridiculous she looked like in the eyes of onlookers.

"Here is my suggestion. It's a fair way to decide this once and for all. Let your man kiss me. If he can control himself and doesn't have the slightest thought of sleeping with me when he does, you win and I lose. Deal?" The girl talked as if she had forgotten her brain at home. She swept back her long hair again and stared straight at Hiram, in spite of her friend's protests.

What she said shocked everyone there. Rachel suddenly forgot what she had wanted to say.

Kiss her?

"What do you think of my suggestion? Tell me! Are you afraid your man will choose me over you?" The girl challenged Rachel, taking a step forward.

A few feet away from them, Daniel was enjoying himself. He held back a smile and said, "

"You're my wife in name only, on paper only. My heart and love will never be yours."

Edward made it clear to Daisy that she was nothing to him. They were both victims of family greed -- the marriage was arranged for them.

Six years passed. She remained quiet, gaining a reputation in the army as a tough-as-nails colonel. When she walked into his life again, Edward fell in love with this woman...

d forgotten the wound that he had wanted to hide from her. He was in trouble again, a big one this time.

Rachel looked at the bandages worriedly before turning to Hiram, who was pretending like nothing was wrong.

"You lied to me. You told me you weren't hurt. Then tell me why you have these stitches."

"It's all right. It doesn't hurt anymore. They will remove these bandages in a couple of days, " Hiram said casually, as if it was a small thing. He put his other arm around her shoulders, trying to comfort her.

"It hurts! I know. It really hurts when you get stitches. Hiram, why didn't you tell me? Why? I want to know everything about you." Rachel's eyes turned red, but she hardly noticed it.

She was trying to imagine how Hiram had gotten injured again. It was worse than before.

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you everything, every detail. Please don't cry, " Hiram said, seeing the tears that had sprung to her eyes. He tried to stop them from falling. The last thing he could bear was seeing Rachel cry.

Chad, who was driving the car, couldn't help thinking about how Hiram and Rachel had been laughing when they had gotten into the car, but now the scene had changed abruptly and Rachel was going to cry.

No wonder Carl had told him to just drive the car and not speak too much. Hiram and Rachel were close to each other. It was better if he avoided disturbing them as much as he could.

Rachel tried to hold her tears back, but a drop fell from her eyes.

Hiram leaned over and kissed her cheek. He sucked the drop of tear into his mouth and murmured to Rachel, "If you don't want me to taste more tears, stop crying now. I love you, honey."

Rachel took a deep breath and stared back at Hiram with her red eyes. She buried her head into Hiram's arms and held his waist tightly.

"If you really don't want me to cry anymore, don't get injured again. Do you hear me?" Rachel warned him.

"Deal! From now on, I'll tell you each and everything that happens to me, even if I just get a cut on my finger. Fair enough, honey?" Hiram tenderly patted her on her back and smiled to himself. Good days were coming.
