Chapter 240 You Are Going To Have A Wedding Ceremony Tomorrow

About a week later...

Rachel was busy in her studio. Several important matters that she had to address had piled up during her several days of absence, so she'd come to the studio very early.

However, just when Rachel had finished half of her work, Carl came.

"Rachel, why are you still working? I tried to call you, but I couldn't get through. I've been looking all over for you like a madman!" Carl said, stepping into the studio with sweat all over his face.

Rachel, who was signing contracts, raised her head to look at him in confusion, and then said,"I forgot to charge my phone. What's the hurry? I'll be home at night. What happened?"

Rachel's confusion surprised Carl for a moment. He scratched his head and said,"Rachel, don't you know that your wedding ceremony is tomorrow?

Didn't you see that everybody in the family is busy with this matter for the whole week? Since your body condition won't allow you to travel abroad, Hiram decided to hold the wedding ceremony at home. Now, everything is prepared, including the church, the wedding invitations and your wedding dress. And the ceremony will be at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning. Rachel, didn't you know this?"

Rachel was so surprised by his words that she lost control of her pen and drew a half circle on the document she was signing.

Hiram had mentioned the wedding ceremony a week ago at his mother's birthday dinner. However, Rachel hadn't taken his words seriously, thinking that he was saying it just to deliberately irritate his father. And since he hadn't spoken to her about it afterwards, she hadn't given it any thought.

But now, it turned out that Hiram had really meant it.

"Let me call Hiram first... No, Carl, drive me to Streams Company. I'll talk to him there." Rachel hastily signed several important documents and then asked Celine to make some arrangements for her.

Ten minutes later...

When Rachel reached Streams Company and got out of the car, she immediately wrapped her blue wool coat tighter around herself. It was already late autumn and she was only wearing a cream-colored dress under the coat, with her ankles exposed to the cold air. Getting off the car had made her feel a certain chill that accompanied her till she got onto the lift.

"Hello, Mrs. Rong," Ben said.

"Where is Hiram?"

Rachel asked Ben, stepping out of the lift.

"Mr. Rong is having a meeting with Mr. Zhuo. The meeting is expected to end in 30 minutes," Ben said. Rachel immediately guessed what they were discussing about. Since the planning for the Cliff Mountain project had come to its final stage, Hiram and his staff must be discussing about a few details.

She hesitated for a few moments and said,"Take me there, I want to know what they're discussing about."

Although she hadn't particip

Jean Wen sacrificed herself for family interests. Before her husband divorced her, she made every effort to please him.

"You are inexperienced in bed," he said coldly.

"You! Give that land to my family, or I won't agree to divorce," Jean replied furiously.

"Fine. It is exactly what I am thinking about," he sneered.

dn't I tell you about it? I remember saying it very clearly in front of my parents a week ago.

I told you that the time is perfect for holding a wedding ceremony as the weather is fine recently, and you agreed."

Rachel took off her shoes, put her arms around Hiram's neck and made herself comfortable on his lap. "But, I thought you were irritating your father on purpose. Why didn't you say anything about it afterwards?"

Hiram smiled. Then, he ran his hand through Rachel's silky hair and said,"I have everything handled. All you have to do is be my bride.

What's more, I didn't want you to worry about it. Since you're pregnant now, what if the stress got to you and you hurt yourself?"

Rachel frowned. She stared at Hiram with her big black eyes and said,"But a wedding ceremony is held only once in a lifetime, and I haven't prepared for it yet."

"Who said so? If you want, I'll hold another wedding ceremony for you after our children are born. By that time, our two children can be our page boys," Hiram said gently.

"Fine. But can you please not invite people that I don't know? Can you just invite family members and friends?" Rachel asked, because just the thought of entertaining a bunch of strangers at her wedding ceremony was giving her a headache.

Of course, Hiram had already considered this. Right then, his phone rang, so he picked up the call and pressed the mute button before saying,"You don't have to worry about that. I only invited a few important family members and friends. There won't be too many people at our wedding ceremony."

After hearing his words, Rachel felt relieved and said,"That's good. Otherwise, it would be so tiresome for us to toast to unfamiliar guests table by table."

However, she frowned when she saw Hiram turn his attention to his phone again. She got down from his lap and sat next to him.
