Chapter 358 A Night Tour Of East Suburb Street
"So what do you think of the place? As you regarded the man as a local tyrant, then I think that the land
he bought may not be so good?" asked Hiram calmly.
Rachel was moving the mouse and was focusing on the information on her computer, answering,"I
haven't actually gone yet to have a look. But from the outside, it looked nice. I think the garden is too
large. He will have to spend a lot of money in the upkeep. But I won't make any comment on it,
because I am just the designer."
"Is that so? Don't you have any ideas for the garden?" asked Hiram. And then he took the relief map on
the table and studied it.
"Any ideas? What would you suggest?" A bit puzzled, Rachel turned to stare at Hiram. She didn't know
what he meant.
After Hiram read the map, he put it back on the table. And he explained with a smile,"I saw the notes
you wrote. The garden is a gift that the owner is preparing for his wife. Don't you have any ideas to
make it spectacular?"
While Rachel was thinking about the question, she walked away and poured two cups of water, and
offered a cup to Hiram. "When I found out about it, I was a bit moved by the man's love for his wife.
And I felt happy for her."
Said Rachel. But then she looked at Hiram and added,"Although, I think if two people really care about
each other, having a big garden is not the measurement of true love. The most important thing is to
make your partner feel your love in the small things just as much as the big things."
Hiram blinked his eyes trying not to laugh, and asked,"Is that so? Don't you like having a big garden? I
could build a castle for you as well, and you can go to live there with our children during vacations.
What do you think of that idea?"
Rachel knew that he was kidding. Rumors about it had gotten around before, but it seemed impossible
as time passed by and it was forgotten.
"I don't like that idea. You are copying another man's gesture. It won't be impressive!" said Rachel,
grinning. And then she went back to focus on her design.
Someone had thought of it first for love. If Hiram just imitated it, she won't be moved by it. It must be
something original, like the way he kept his own drawing of her in his wallet.
She was happy in this house. It was comfortable enough to live here.
What's more, they already had a villa near the sea. Although they just went there during summer, the
scenery there was still beautiful enough.
Hiram took the cup of water that Rachel had offered him and drank it, smiling. 'She is careless, if she
were more meticulous, she would notice that there are lots of information about her.'
Rachel didn't have the slightest idea that the land owner was Hiram. She just focused on designing the
garden according to the terrain, so she had ignored lots of obvious information about it.
Rachel focused seriously with her work, so Hiram went to see their two children and after a while, he
came back into the study.
At half past eleven, Hiram looked at his wife, who was still occupied with her work, saying,"Darling, it is
late, we should go to bed."
He was good at keeping his composure at all times. She was working so hard on the design of the
garden and he just let her do it. After all the garden was going to be hers, so it would be best that the
garden was also designed by her.
Rachel looked at the clock and then stretched her arms and replied,"Okay, let's go to sleep."
In the bathroom, while she was washing her face and rinsing her mouth, she was still thinking how to
design a wonderful fountain.
So it took her about twenty minutes to brush her teeth before she came out of the bathroom.
When Hiram saw her, he put his mobile phone on the table and threw back the covers for her,
asking,"What took you so long in there?"
Rachel jumped into bed and lay in his arms, answering,"I was still thinking about the design for an
interesting and artistic fountain..."
"You can go to the library upstairs to look up the materials, it may help you." Said Hiram. He got closer
to her neck and put his arms around her waist.
She felt ticklish and pushed him away. "It's too late now, how about tomorrow?"
"No." Hiram disagreed and grabbed her more. Then he took off her silk pajamas and kissed her
tenderly.

The next morning.
Rachel took her children to the playground to have fun. They had lunch at a nearby restaurant and
afterwards, she drove them home. In the afternoon, she went to her office to perfect her design.
"Celine, have you recruited any good designers yet?"
Rachel asked when Celine came in with some documents. In the company, Celine was not only
responsible for training designers, recruiting some experienced ones was also her duty.
"I am on it! Well, Mr. Rong has arranged for two designers to help us, so for this recruitment, we should
put quality before quantity and only pick designers who are really outstanding!" said Celine. Then she
put the documents in front of Rachel, which needed her signature.
Rachel looked up at Celine, asking,"He has arranged for two designers to help us? Why didn't he tell
me about it?"
"He just cares about you. The two designers are really experienced and they both have amazing
portfolios. I have emailed the relief map to them to help you with your work. You should thank Mr.
Rong!"
Celine blinked her eyes as Rachel signed the documents. "Well, but then, it is truly hard to be married
to a man like Mr. Rong! He is handsome, rich and loves you deeply. Rachel, compared with the men
whom you had blind dates with, Mr. Rong is the most outstanding. You are so lucky to be his wife!"
Rachel smiled at her, but there was sadness in her that she didn't need to share.
Nothing made the best of both worlds.
Hiram was perfect, and she was lucky enough to marry him. But at the same time, she also desired to
live an ordinary life, but that was now out of the question. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
In the evening, when she was about to leave the office, she received a phone call from Hiram.
"Are you off work? I am waiting for you downstairs."
When Rachel walked out the door, she saw Hiram standing beside his car, waiting for her.
Today, he didn't need to attend any party or meeting, so he didn't wear his usual suit. Instead, he wore
a black knit shirt with sleeves loosely rolled up, a pair of dark grey trousers and a pair of black shoes.
She couldn't help pausing to appreciate him. He was always polite and outstanding. His eyes were
charming as always, but tonight he looked less bossy but more tender.
"What are you doing, standing still? Get in the car, my lady!" Hiram exclaimed and opened the car door
for her.
Rachel got in the car and looked at him, uneasy, she asked,"Where are we going?"
With his attire tonight, he still looked handsome, but she preferred him wearing shirts. And it did not
matter if he wore a T-shirt with black and white stripes or colored stripes, he was still powerful and
charming.
"I made an appointment with my friend. We are going to East Suburb Street for some relaxation." Said
Hiram. He noticed that she was a bit awkward, and he pinched her nose softly, saying,"I just changed
into different clothes, why are you staring at me like that?"
