My Second Husband novel Chapter 1176

After being misunderstood by Eudora, Eddison felt a little embarrassed.

He had no idea how to face Rachel. Although he had someone he liked in the past, he had always put Sierra on a pedestal.

He had never thought that they would be in such close contact with each other one day.

He suddenly realized that and felt a little shy. His heartbeat was gradually quickening so Eddison decided to open the balcony window and take a deep breath.

He lit a cigarette and started to smoke slowly.

By the time he came to his senses again, more than an hour had already passed.

Rachel's voice was long gone from the room, as if he was the only one left in the place. Eddison pushed open the door and saw Rachel lying on the sofa in the room. She had fallen asleep.

Her cheeks were slightly red because of the alcohol. Her mouth was slightly ajar, and her nose twitched gently with her breathing. She looked inexplicably cute, like a little rabbit.

Eddison could not help but touch Rachel's nose with his finger.

"Oh...it's your turn!"

Her soft and fair fingers clutched his fingers tightly. When she woke up, there was still a layer of mist in her eyes. She held his hands and laughed like a child.

"Were you waiting for me?"

He thought that she had simply fallen asleep.

"Yeah, didn't you say that you were going to look for me?"

"What if I didn't?"

"Then, I'll just keep waiting for you! I often waited for Dad when I was a child, and I've gotten used to it!"

Eddison's heart skipped a beat. For some reason, his heart ached for her.

"When you were a child, did he not look for you very often?"

"That's right!"

Rachel, who was drunk, was particularly well-behaved and answered all the questions that were being asked.

"Dad was a really busy man. When he finally had some spare time to play with me, he would have to leave for some business matters after a while every time. I would wait for him at the same hiding spot every time, and I would often do so till evening. Mom would then come to find me, and take me back..."

After saying that, Rachel yawned.

"You're the first person I've successfully waited for! Why not play another round?"

"You're sleepy, though!"

Her eyes were red.

"I'm not sleepy!" she shook her head desperately and grabbed his arm.

Somehow, Eddison seemed to visualize a little girl squatting in the corner of the garden, waiting for someone to find her.

His heart ached, and he nodded.

"Alright! I'll be sure to find you soon this time!"

"That's great!"

After saying that, Rachel turned around and went to look for a place to hide. She stood still in the same place as before. Eddison found her actions to be funny and said, "I haven't left yet!"

"Then, you'd better leave quickly!"

"If you hide here, I'll find you right away!"

Rachel looked at that place, and then looked at Eddison.

"If I don't hide here, what will you do if you can't

find me?"

He thought that she was just a young lady who grew up in a rich family. He never thought that she would have such an experience.

Eddison touched her head and said, "If a man wants to find you, he will search the whole world even if he has too! If he doesn't want to find you, he won't be able to see you even if you are right in front of him!"

Rachel looked at him in a daze. How could he forget that she was drunk? How could she understand what he was saying?

"It's okay! I'll be able to find you!"

After that, Eddison went out and closed the door.
