Such a Rude and Noisy Woman novel Chapter 73

The table was laden with food.

Hiram was the first one to start eating without hesitation. But even though he was so arrogant, he was still perfect in the eyes of Colin and his wife.

"Hiram, I'm Simpson's brother. An uncle of mine didn't have a son, so I was adopted by him. But in fact, Simpson and I are biological brothers, " Colin said, biting the bullet and starting the conversation since they were all eating in silence.

Hiram responded with a curt and low murmur. Then he continued to eat without even raising his head.

"Hiram, this is my daughter, Vicky! Colin often told me that the great-grandfathers had decided on the marriage between the Rong and Ruan families a long time ago. We didn't have the fortune of fulfilling this decision before, but things are different now, "

Selina said, pinching Vicky so she would raise her head. She continued, "Now we have two girls in the Ruan family. Both are pretty, especially my daughter, Vicky. Look at her, she has blossomed into a breathtakingly beautiful lady."

Rachel restrained herself from letting out a laugh. Despite knowing that they had come to try to get Vicky married to Hiram, she still found the whole situation funny.

She had never seen a mother commending her daughter like that before.

Rachel gave Hiram a nudge and said, "My aunt asked you to look at Vicky. You should look up and have a look, just one look."

Hiram glanced at Rachel with a resigned smile. His eyes followed the direction in which Rachel was looking. When he saw the shy expression on Vicky's pretty face, he nodded and said, "You're right, she is beautiful. Rachel, you have a good sister."

Colin knew that Hiram rarely gave compliments, so when he heard him complimenting his daughter, Vicky, he straightened up proudly and nudged Vicky to remind her to do as they had planned.

Vicky shyly kept her head down and stood up when her father winked his eyes at her. She poured a glass of wine and walked around the table with it towards Hiram.

"Hiram, I'm Vicky. I'd like to propose a toast to you." Vicky gazed at Hiram's handsome face. A closer look at Hiram made her realize that his face was attractive and dignified without any flaws.

Her heart started pounding all of a sudden, and her hand, which was holding onto the wine glass, started trembling lightly.

Noting Vicky's shaking hand, Hiram took the wine glass from her and said, "Thanks, Vicky."

He drank the wine in one go.

Vicky felt like she was on cloud nine. Hiram's glance was magical and seemed to drain the strength out of her.

When she returned to her seat, she raised her head and straightened up.

Vicky thought that she was also the granddaughter of the Ruan family and she was equally as good as Rachel. Rachel could say and do whatever she liked in front of Hiram, why couldn't she?

Rachel knew that Colin and his wife were eager to know Hiram's feelings, so she asked him the question that was on their minds.

"Hiram, what do you think of Vicky?"

Hiram paused for a moment. Then, he turned to Rachel and asked, "You mean you want me to introduce Vicky to a handsome and successful man? That's all right. I'll see if there is a match for her when we return home."

Rachel blinked, thinking that it was really a good response. He was almost perfect at playing dumb.

"Hir--" Rachel started, but Hiram interrupted her.

"Rachel." He placed his hand on Rachel's shoulder and, ignoring the people in the room, whispered in her ear, "Why are you doing this? Are you in a hurry to divorce me?"

She had put him in such an awkward situation.

It was lucky that Rachel was the person who was doing this. If it was someone else, he would have already left the table.

"No, I'm not. But they've tried all means to see you. They even made their way to our house. If I want to settle this once and for all, I have no choice but to be the matchmaker, " Rachel murmured in a low voice, head bowed.

Fortunately the table was big and the room was spacious, so their whispers went unheard by Colin and his family.
