Chapter 360 Redemption of Lydia
Chapter 360 Redemption of Lydia
Why? She suddenly started feeling that there was something wrong about him. All the goodness that
he was showing was a farce. He was only pretending to be nice. Something that she had just known
only got started.
Hiram's deep and aloof eyes were focusing on the scene ahead. The smoky surface of the water was
covered by mist and that surely was attracting him.
"I promise that this will be the last chance."
He had already made a decision in his mind that this was going to be the last chance. He had been
forgiving Lydia again and again. If she ever dared to do anything again like this time, he would
definitely not forgive her.
And this time he was sure that he would certainly do that!
"Honey, I'm so sorry. This's is going to be the last time she would do anything to harm you. I promise."
Hiram moved back his sight, looked sternly at Rachel and said.
"I used to think that I would not let Lydia hurt you anymore. However, she has again hurt you this time.
Even though what Lydia has done is not directly aimed to hurt you, but what she did has put your
mother into a tricky situation. For that, I would not excuse her, and I should take up my responsibility to
protect you."
"You don't have to feel sorry, Hiram. In fact, now I also feel a sense of pity on her." Rachel sighed softly.
Lydia was an orphan. She had grown up with Hiram since her childhood. They had been together every
day and night for a very long duration. Along with that, her love for him kept deepening day by day, in
that case, it was too difficult for her to accept that Hiram no longer belonged to her.
Lydia was deeply in love with Hiram. She felt happy about that but the truth was that she knew her love
could not be returned and that made here vengeful.
"What's the matter? Why are you looking in that direction? You are grown up now. Can't you leave your
brother and live alone?" Wade with his one hand on the railing, gazed at Lydia and asked.
"Of course not. It's just that this's the first time that I am in the same boat with a male stranger which is
making me kind of nervous." Lydia's beautiful eyes kept staring on the surface of the waves and
replied.
Wade suddenly took her by one hand and made her sit next to him. "Sit down, don't you feel tired by
standing for so long like this?" He said. "And by the way, you said you are with me in the boat. Do you
mean that we're now 'in the same boat'?" He asked.
Lydia did not reply.
Silently she kept staring at the water. And then she moved a little away from him because she felt a
little uncomfortable. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
"To be honest, when I first saw you, I could tell that you are a woman with lots of secrets inside her
heart. You always look so cold and arrogant, but I can clearly see the loneliness that is there in your
eyes. You are in reality a woman who wants someone to protect her and make her feel secure. Am I
right or not?" he asked.
What Wade had just said truly reflected the situation of her life and heart at the moment.
She looked flustered for a moment, then smiled calmly. "Look, do you really think that I am arrogant?
Besides, both of my parents love me so much, especially my brother Hiram. How could I be lonely?"
Lydia replied.
Lydia was trying to conceal her feelings but the truth was quite clear, Wade looked at her and said in a
remote voice,"The deepest loneliness of the heart cannot be filled by the love of family. We are both the
same. I am also like you. I keep pretending that I am fine and my family is so supportive but in reality, I
am also very lonely and aloof..."
Lydia looked at the loneliness on his face, and the smile on her face vanished. "Can you tell me why
my brother Hiram asked you to come?" She asked seriously. Did he send you on purpose so that you
could come close to me?" She continued.
Hearing that Wade was stunned for a while. He had not expected her to be so apt and to the point.
"If you mean he did it on purpose, I am sorry but I do not agree with you at all," Wade replied.
"Hiram asked me to come because he thought we both wanted to come close to each other. And I
appreciate and thank him for introducing his beautiful, lovely and intelligent sister to me. I consider
myself very fortunate. But the moment you said on purpose, I felt that I am an unworthy person!"
Wade shrugged and replied with a smile.
His tactful response made Lydia feel embarrassed and she smiled slowly and said "I did not mean that.
Before coming here I was not told that you would be coming too."
"I understand. Hiram has told me that you don't like a blind date. So he planned us to meet this way. He
really thinks about you and that is why he did that." Wade said.
"The boat is ashore. I think now we can get off..." Lydia said immediately as she saw that Hiram and
Rachel had gotten off from the other boat.
Also, she did not like to stay with Wade, the feeling of being with a strange disgusted her a lot.
Wade stood up, held out his hand to her and said: "Let me help you get down."
Lydia stopped a little. She was about to say no but there was no good reason to do so, so finally, she
gave her hand to him.
Rachel was still holding Hiram's arm standing on the shore and was looking at Wade who was helping
Lydia get off the boat.
'It seems like Wade is quite good at making the girls feel special.' Rachel thought.
And then all four of them had dinner at the restaurant on the island before they went back. After that,
they roamed around in East Suburb Street and finally decided to go back.
Wade was given the responsibility of seeing Lydia back home. She seemed reluctant to that. However,
Wade was not going to give up so easily, he finally took her into his car though he had to use both hard
and soft tactics to do that.
"Where did you find Wade? Has he really come back from abroad? He seems to be an easy-going
person but a little thick-skinned!"
On their way back home, Rachel asked Hiram about Wade.
It was very obvious that Lydia was angry, however, Wade was pretending as if he did not notice that at
all.
"I have picked and I think Wade is the most suitable one for Lydia. They will be a perfect couple.
Furthermore, Wade is kind of person that once he has thought of something he will not rest till he gets
it." Hiram replied and kept his hand on her shoulder.
Rachel blinked her eyes and looked up at him. "So we can say that Wade might be the angel who has
come to redeem Lydia, right?" she asked.
Hiram looked at her, paused, sighed softly and said,"Yes, you can say that."
'However, that also depends on whether Lydia wants to be redeemed or not.
The heaven and the hell are only one line apart.' Hiram thought deeply.
Once they had come back to Tulip Palace, Rachel was too exhausted to even move around. She
decided to put a hot water and take a comfortable hot water bath.
"Hello, Celine, did you call me today?' She was talking on the phone and playing with the soap
alongside.
Celine was watching a movie right now, she answered the phone and asked "Where have you been
today? You sound so tired, are you just... just finishing the exercise?"
Hearing her indecent comment, Rachel blew the bubbles in her hands, laughed and said,"what have
you been thinking? We went to East Suburb Street and have just come back."
"Very good. So, does that mean that you have reconciled with Hiram? That's right. Life is too short. It is
better to be happy and cheerful. Don't take the petty quarrels so seriously." Celine said.
Rachel wiped her body with a towel. This was the truth. Hiram did not lose his temper easily, but once
he got angry, it was extremely difficult for him to let go.
"By the way, Rachel, I have heard today that the champion company is doing better than us. It is said
that their design will be handed over next week!"
"Really? So quick?" Rachel said. Saying that Rachel quickly got up from the bathtub. "But I'm coming
out soon. I'll hurry up and I expect to come out next week."
"Okay. Since we have a bet with them, we can't afford to lose it. Just do your best Rachel." Celine said
in an encouraging tone to Rachel.
Finishing her bath, Rachel came out of the bathroom. She wanted to go to bed early tonight so that she
could go to the company early morning tomorrow. However, when she came out, she could not see
Hiram around.
She then went to his study to check, but there was nobody there as well. She wondered where could
he be now?
Just when she was thinking, her phone rang. It was a call from Hiram. "Why are you not coming up
yet?" He asked.
"Coming up to where?" Rachel asked. She was kind of confused by the question he was asking.
"I'm waiting for you in the library. Hurry come up and find me." Hiram hung up the phone as soon as he
finished his words.
