Such a Rude and Noisy Woman novel Chapter 169

"What are you doing, Patrick? Let me go!" screamed Rachel. Patrick grabbed her arm firmly and forced her to walk with him.

Patrick looked at her and grinned, "Great! It felt great to hear you call me by my name. Listen, my car is just a few steps away. Let me drop you off home, okay?"

Rachel struggled to pull her arm away from his grasp. She pointed at the white motorcycle parked by the road and said, "There, I have a motorcycle! If I take your car back home, what will happen to my motorcycle over there? I don't think it can go home by itself. Thank you, Mr. Yan. Maybe, next time!"

There was clearly something dodgy going on with Patrick. Why was he always trying to get her on his car every time they met?

"Oh that, I'll have someone drive it back. Don't worry!" Patrick raised his eye-brows and said, disapprovingly. He took out his phone and called a number.

"No, there's no need! That's very kind of you, but if I remember correctly, you were having lunch with someone, right? It would be rude of you to leave your partner alone at the table, and I don't think a gentleman should ever act like that." Rachel said when she remembered seeing Patrick having lunch with a girl.

"My partner? Oh, she said that she had got something urgent to take care of, so she left a while ago, " said Patrick in no hurry. Patrick took a quick glance at the table he was at before. There was no one there and the girl he was with had left when she saw him talking to Rachel.

Rachel had run out of excuses to throw at him. It looked like Patrick wouldn't leave her alone and was determined to drop her off at her place.

Why? Did this man have a secret hobby of driving women home? He wasn't so successful the last time, so this time, he persisted. What would he do if she were to turn him down?

"Listen to me, Rachel. I hope you'll get in my car. Let me tell you something. Salt Sea City is my territory; I can do whatever my heart desires here. The police won't say a thing, even if I drive my car into a busy mall." Patrick grinned. He stepped forward to open the door for Rachel, and made an invitational gesture with his hand.

"Mr. Yan, why are you taking so much trouble? Look, I'm married, and aren't you afraid of what people will say, when they see you driving a married woman in your car?" asked Rachel, reluctantly.

Rachel cast a glance at his magnificent Porsche; she thought it looked like a trap, waiting for her.

"Aha! Stop kidding around. I am not afraid of anyone or anything, for that matter. Do you think I am as selfish as your husband?" Patrick complained about what Hiram had done to her. Seeing Rachel's hesitation to go with him, Patrick gripped her arm even harder.

Rachel soon realized that Patrick wasn't going to let her go. She was like a little fish, a little fish that was completely helpless against a big fish. Besides, just as Patrick had said, this was his territory.

Rachel had no other choice but to comply with Patrick's wishes.

"That's right! Look what Hiram has done to you. You're reluctant to get a ride with someone else because you're afraid that he will be jealous. It's not right." Patrick smiled at her and started the car.

Rachel fastened her safe belt and said, "This is not the first time you've insisted on driving a woman home."

"Huh, don't take me for some casual playboy. Yes, I like hanging out with pretty women, but usually because they also show their eagerness. I'm not a bad date, you know, "

Patrick groaned unpleasantly.

Rachel showed her phone to Patrick and said, "This is my address here. If you insist, please drive me here. Thank you."

Patrick glanced at her phone and looked ahead. He wrapped his fingers around the steering wheel and said, "Take it easy. It's only 1 pm in the afternoon. It's still early; let me show you around."

Patrick caught Rachel by surprise again. Frustrated, she exclaimed, "Patrick, listen to me, my auntie and cousins are waiting for me at home. They will be worried if I don't come back as expected. Please! Will you just drive me there? If that's inconvenient for you, let me get off here and I can take a taxi."

"Did I frighten you? I think you have just gone through a traumatic experience, so I just want to show you around the area. I think it will make you feel better. Don't worry. I'll take you back before dark, " Patrick explained.

When Patrick noticed Rachel's face turning pale, he shook his head and burst into laughter, "Relax, I know you are Hiram's wife. Even if I wanted to do something to you, I wouldn't dare. So, just relax!"

Rachel started to feel a bit relieved.

"But, I'm curious. If you're scared of me, then what about Hiram? You don't seem to be afraid of him at all? In terms of harshness, I admit I'm far behind him!" Patrick asked, curiously, just a second later.

Patrick saw how Hiram had conducted his business more than once in the past. Hiram was a man of action. He was decisive and ruthless once he set his sights on his goals.

Rachel was about to say something to contradict what Patrick had said, but she decided to keep shut.

Rachel thought it would be best not to talk about Hiram in front of Patrick.

"Hey, aunt!" Rachel's phone rang. It was Laura.

"Rachel? Why haven't you come back yet? Is everything okay?" asked Laura, worriedly. Laura was worried whether Rachel had lost her way, as she had never been there before.

"Fine, everything is fine. I'll come back later. I just want to take a look around. Don't worry about me, " said Rachel as she glanced at Patrick.

"Oh, okay. Take care of yourself. Come back home as soon as possible, " urged Laura and then she hung up. Laura turned around and looked at the man standing by her door. He was tall, and of course, good looking. It was Hiram.

Hiram had been waiting there for half an hour. When Laura saw him waiting for Rachel, she called Rachel to ask when she would be back.

"Mr. Rong, Rachel said she was just looking around in town. I believe she'll be back a little later."

Hiram turned around to face Laura. He looked sharp in his tailored suit, but he had a serious expression on his face. It made him within her sight but beyond touch. "May I have her number, please?" asked Hiram.

"Okay, okay, wait a moment, " stuttered Laura. Laura looked at her phone and read Rachel's number out loud to him.

"Uncle, who are you? Are you Rachel's husband?" asked Jasmine. Jasmine was doing her homework in her room when she heard her mom speaking with Rachel on the phone. She walked out of her room and stood in front of Hiram.

Hiram saved Rachel's new number in his phone and then looked down at the little girl with his dark, sparkling eyes.

"Jasmine! Go back to your room and do your homework." murmured Laura.

"Nice to meet you, uncle, but ever since she came here, Rachel has been sad. She only talks a little and she always sits by the sea by herself. Did you break her heart?" continued Jasmine. Unlike her little brother, who was hiding in his room, Jasmine wasn't afraid of strangers.

Hiram bent over and looked into Jasmine's bright little eyes, "Yes, I broke her heart. Did Rachel tell you about me? Is she still mad at me?"

Jasmine shook her little head and pouted her lips, "No, she didn't. But I begged her to give birth to a little baby girl, because I prefer a baby girl to a baby boy."

"Then, tell me, what did she say about that?" asked Hiram. Hiram looked at this adorable little girl with tenderness and love.

"Rachel said she wanted to have an adorable girl like me, " said Jasmine, with a big smile on her face.

Hiram let out a soft smile from one corner of his mouth, and Jasmine felt as if a gentle breeze had kissed her face. He nodded his head at Laura to say good-bye and walked out of the door.

"Where's Rachel, Hiram?" Chad had opened the door for him and asked when he didn't see Rachel with Hiram.

Hiram got in the car and sent Rachel's new number to Chad, he said, "Call this number and locate her position. I want to see her as soon as possible."

Hiram shifted his gaze to the skies outside the window. For three days, he had tirelessly searched everywhere, looking for Rachel. He nearly went to all of her relatives' and friends' homes, and finally here she was.

Hiram was well aware that Rachel didn't want to see him, and that was why she had been avoiding him.

However, he couldn't live without her. He felt as if a part of his heart was missing when she was not around.

Hiram searched all the way from H City to Salt City for her. He had to depend on his own abilities since Fannie wouldn't tell him where Rachel was. Thankfully, he was able to find her in this seaside city.

'Rachel, honey, I couldn't let you go. I would even follow you all the way to the Heavens if I have to. Stay with me forever.'
