Chapter 79 Finally Watching Hiram’s MV
Chapter 79 Finally Watching Hiram’s MV
Rachel didn't remember herself regretting something as much as she did in this situation. At this
moment she felt like someone who went out for wool and came home shorn.
What made her feel more frustrated was the fact that she had to pay a double penalty.
She went there questioning Hiram's actions and doubted he was with another woman. But it turned out
that she played herself into his hand and did exactly what he wanted. She came in willingly and wanted
to leave desperately.
Later Hiram told her he never liked that idea of hanging out with girls. It was nothing but a waste of his
time. Therefore, when the girl named Alice knocked on his door, he didn't even bother to open it.
But his wife really surprised him. She came here herself. He certainly wouldn't give up on this
opportunity, instead, he planned to enjoy it. As might be expected, he had a really good time back
there.
Hiram didn't bring Rachel out until late in the night, and they left from the back door. There were still
lots of women waiting to see him under the stairs.
"Hiram, take me to the hospital, I want to see my mom and stay with her tonight." Rachel said to him
while they were on their way home. She lounged in the back seat with a cushion under her head and
her legs on Hiram's lap. She looked like a lazy cat.
Rachel felt more tired than ever before, and she hardly had the strength to rise on her feet.
She wanted to run away and get some rest. Instead of going home, she preferred staying at the
hospital. Though the bed there was too small for her to stretch her legs, it was the perfect place for her
to get some sleep alone. She and her mom could chat with each other the whole night.
Hiram looked at her weary face and felt a little guilty. He grabbed her sore legs and began to rub them,
"Trust me. I can restrain myself, and I won't let anything happen again."
Carl pretended he didn't hear what they were talking about and drove the car steadily. He tried hard not
to burst into a laugh.
His cousin's sexual appetite was insatiable, and so his wife was worried, that she wouldn't get enough
sleep with him.
But there was nothing wrong about it. They just got married and still needed time to get used to each
other.
Right at that moment, Rachel's phone rang and broke the awkwardness. Rachel struggled to get up
and reached for her phone.
It was a text from Luke.
The last time they had met, she had learned from him that Hiram was featured in an MV before. She
begged Luke to send her a copy and left her Wechat ID with him. It must be about the MV.
Yes, it was, it was!
Rachel got excited and couldn't wait to watch it. But she realized that Hiram was sitting with her, so she
calmed herself down. She put her phone back and closed her eyes again.
She didn't realize that all her movements were being noticed from the tail of his eye. He pretended that
he hadn't seen anything and looked outside into the darkness.
As soon as they got home, Rachel decided that she would find a quiet and secluded place to enjoy
Hiram's MV secretly.
But when they were at home, she walked around the house several times and failed to find a safe
place, a place where Hiram wouldn't notice or see her.
At last, she went to the bathroom and locked herself inside.
As she sat down inside, Rachel began to wonder why she had to make such a fuss. It was late in the
night, and Hiram usually went to the study before retiring to bed. He said there was some business he
had to take care of before sleeping, and it seemed he didn't care what she was doing.
Rachel slapped her hand on her forehead and laughed at herself. She felt she was acting like a five-
year-old girl.
After some thought, she left the bathroom and walked into the bedroom. She dived into the bed and
watched the MV using her earphones to ensure that the sound wouldn't reach Hiram.
As the story progressed, she completely lost herself in the MV.
In the story, Hiram played the role of a poor young fellow. He had nothing to his name, just the opposite
of what he was in reality.
This poor young man fell in love with the protagonist. She was a famous movie star, brilliant and
shining like the rising sun. His talent and tenderness attracted her, but because he had no money and
background, she was afraid that their relationship wouldn't last long. She hated it when people
gossiped about them behind their back and said that they were incompatible. In the end, she left him.
Without blinking, Rachel watched the video on her phone. Hiram held the protagonist in his arms and
patted her back tenderly, he ran down the streets in the midnight to find doctors when she was ill, he
was insulted and beaten by the fans who hated her, and he protected her from anything that might hurt
her.
At times, his body would be covered with all kinds of scars, but he always showed her nothing but his
biggest smile.
In the end, the protagonist realized what he had done for her the whole time and desperately, she went
to find him. But, she couldn't find him again, and she never found a man like him ever again.
Tears fell out of Rachel's eyes, but she didn't feel them.
She had to admit that it was a great loss for movie fans that Hiram decided against acting in movies.
Rachel fetched a tissue and wiped off the tears on her face. She sniffed and thought to herself, no
wonder Hiram's costar fell madly in love with him. Looking at his handsome face and athletic body, any
woman who worked with him, would fall for him, there was no two ways about it.
"What made you so upset?"
She didn't realize when Hiram entered the bedroom. He was standing in front of her and drinking water
from a bottle. With one quick glance at her phone, Hiram figured out what she was up to. He lay beside
her on the bed and looked at her.
Rachel hurriedly pulled herself back to reality. She wondered how come he had finished his business
already.
She turned off her phone and placed it on the night table. She tried to hold back her tears, "It is so
touching! Why did you stop them from releasing it? You have no idea what you have missed out on!"
"The reason was, that it was too good. I was afraid it would cause lots of trouble if it were released. If I
had known what would happen, I wouldn't have agreed to shoot it in the first place. No matter how
much he had persuaded me." Hiram told her seriously. He rolled over and leaned back against the
headboard.
What was the logic in his mind? Did it make any sense?
Rachel got up and sat on the bed with her legs crossed. She looked at Hiram and asked, "Why did the
actress get obsessed with you? Tell me more about that, what happened next?"
"You really want to know?" Hiram asked her with a faint smile on his face. He was reluctant to discuss
this incident, but Rachel was eager to know. He couldn't refuse her and have her misjudge him. He
said gravely, "I will tell you everything without hiding anything. Promise me, you won't feel bad, and
remember I am your husband now."
Rachel nodded her head. She was eager to hear the story, and in doing so, she believed that she might
get to know her husband a little better.
"Actually I felt there was something wrong with her from the first day of shooting. After the shooting, Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
she began asking me out constantly, and I refused again and again with the excuse of being busy at
work.
She didn't give up. I got an apartment near the office, and I had the habit of taking a nap after lunch. A
couple of times, she showed up at my house during lunchtime. What's worse, she lay on the bed, just
like in the MV, and said she wanted to be with me forever."
Hiram recalled and said slowly. It seemed this memory was just like a book he had read or a meal he
had consumed, nothing more.
"Afterwards, she kept asking me out or showing up at my apartment, until the job was done. That day
the whole staff gathered together for a celebration. The whole staff was having dinner, and she got a
little drunk. To everyone's surprise, she came to me and announced that she loved me in front of
everyone. She said she wanted to marry me, and blah blah blah."
Rachel listened quietly and until then, she felt sour in her heart. But she couldn't help asking, "What
happened later?"
"Later? I was embarrassed, yet I told myself to be nice to a drunken lady. I took her arm, and we went
outside. I asked her to stop talking like that. I had no feelings for her and I treated her like any other
person in the crew. She said she didn't believe what I had said. From that day, she came to my
company every day, and I saw her waiting at the door every morning and evening."
Hiram reached for the water bottle on the table and took a sip of water. He had always hated clingy
women. The women he appreciated were considerate and would leave more space for him. The movie
star was a fool, and the more she tried, the further he was.
"I feel so sorry for her. She had done everything in her power to go after you, how could you refuse
such a woman who had such a big crush on you?" Rachel said from the perspective of a woman. If she
had been going after a man regardless of her dignity and had been turned down in the end, that would
have broken her heart.
Her thought was interrupted by Hiram flicking on her forehead.
"Stupid thoughts! Have you ever thought about how much suffering I would have gone through If I had
lived with a woman, who I didn't love?" Hiram was rubbing her head. His darling wife failed to consider
his feelings. He was her husband now.
"Then, I get to ask you a question now. Do you, do you love me?"
Startlingly, Rachel raised her head and looked directly into his eyes.
