Such a Rude and Noisy Woman novel Chapter 176

When Rachel saw him come in, she instantly stopped talking.

If she questioned Hiram in front of Wayne about why he was tracking her, Wayne would definitely get a bad impression of Hiram.

When Wayne realized that Hiram had heard the conversation, he stopped talking and his face turned pale.

He knew very well that his fortune wasn't equal to even a millionth of Hiram's.

"Mr. Wei, thank you for your favor to my wife. But in the future, please stay away from her, " Hiram said coldly.

"Mr. Rong, since you already heard the conversation, let me come clean. Before Rachel met you, she went on a blind date with me. Several dates, in fact. And I really liked her. The truth is, I still can't forget her, even after finding out that she's your wife now. Also, I think it's unfair for her to endure such an experience!

Mr. Rong, I really hope that you'll treat her well in the future. Otherwise, I'll be there for her. And although I'm not as rich as you, I know I can protect her, "

Wayne said with determination, then turned to look at Rachel affectionately. "Rachel..."

"Oh, don't you think you're assuming too much? You've no right to judge people you barely know, " Hiram said calmly.

He knew that many people would condemn him after the incident. When he had made that decision at the theater, he had already mentally prepared himself for this outcome.

People would make irresponsible remarks about him no matter what decision he made.

It was okay. He could spend more than a lifetime compensating for it. But he knew that Lydia was no longer worthy of his care. If it hadn't been for his parents, he wouldn't have considered saving her.

"Wayne, I think Hiram and I need to talk, so please take leave. Thank you for inviting me to eat!" Rachel smiled apologetically at Wayne.

Wayne looked at her worriedly, but nodded and left.

Rachel turned and glared at Hiram. "Hiram! Are you tracking me?"

"Tracking? I waited downstairs for you for half an hour, but then I saw you holding flowers given by a strange man and willingly getting into his car. Do you know how hurt I am?"

Hiram's words were filled with sadness.

"Why didn't you just call me instead of waiting?" she asked.

But he answered, "Call you? I know you're avoiding me."

He pulled her out of the room of the restaurant.

They got into the car together, and Rachel looked at his face with a little regret.

No wonder he hadn't come to see her after work. It turned out that he had been waiting for her to leave her office all along.

"Rachel, have dinner with me. I'll bring you home after that, " Hiram said abruptly as they neared her building.

"No!" Rachel said without hesitation. "I haven't gone home for the past two days. My mom will be worried about me."

"What about me? I just got discharged from the hospital this morning. Aren't you worried about me?" Hiram looked at her, lightly holding her waist.

"Aren't you healthy now?" Rachel retorted. Yes, he had fainted because of physical exhaustion, but now that he had slept for two days, she believed that he had fully recovered.

"Baby, why're you being so cruel? I stay all alone at home. Aren't you afraid that I'll faint again?"

Hiram said sadly, leaning into her neck, attracted to the smell of her perfume. Her reaction at noon was still fresh in his mind.

She was so charming, like a fairy; he wanted to keep loving her.

Rachel noticed his hot breath on her neck and collarbone, and she immediately leaned back. "I'll call you later then, " she answered.

"That's inconvenient. I can come with you now!"

The car had just entered her building. His hand on her waist subconsciously tightened.

Rachel snorted and pulled his hand away from her waist, then pushed the door open and got out of the car.

"Chad, be careful when you're driving home."

With that, Rachel directly went upstairs without so much as a glance at Hiram.

Watching her walk away, Hiram sighed. His hopeful eyes gradually dimmed. After the few months of sharing a bed with her, he couldn't get used to the idea of sleeping alone.

The dark nights made him feel lonely.

That was why he rarely stopped working. Work could occupy one's time.

He kept sighing to himself, knowing that he had to spend tonight alone too.

Meanwhile at Fannie's home, dinner was ready.

"Rachel, you're back. Have you eaten yet?" Fannie looked beyond Rachel, but once again found no one else with her, much to her disappointment.

"I've eaten something, but…mom? Why have you prepared so many dishes?" Rachel opened the lid and looked at the dishes in surprise.

"Oh, nothing… I just thought that since you've been so tired these past two days, you should eat more, " Fannie said, and asked her, "Is Hiram recovered? Why didn't he come with you?"

Rachel took a mouthful of food and nodded. "He just dropped me home. I think he must have left now."

She hadn't eaten much in the Japanese restaurant before being interrupted by Hiram.

"What?" Fannie hurriedly walked outside with her cane. "Rachel, why didn't you let him come up with you? I've cooked so many dishes. You can't eat all by yourself!

Oh, where's my phone?" Fannie limped off to the living room, found her phone, then called Hiram.

When Rachel realized that Fannie was about to call Hiram, she quickly shouted, "Mom, you don't need to care about him! He's fine now!"

"How can you say that? He's my son-in-law. I couldn't even visit him when he was in the hospital. I just want him to come here and have dinner." Then, into the phone, she said, "Hello! Hiram, have you left? If you haven't, come up and eat something. I've cooked a lot of dishes!"

Seeing that Fannie had called Hiram after all, Rachel bit her chopsticks forcefully with anger.

After Fannie put down the phone, she had a satisfied smile on her face.

"He hasn't left yet and will come up soon!"

"Mom……"

"Listen, Rachel, I know one thing for sure. You two can't live separately. Forgetting the past and starting a new life is the best choice. This kind of thing won't happen a second time. Give him another chance. Okay?"

Fannie sighed. Although she had been angry at Hiram before too, when she found out that he hadn't had a rest for many days just to find Rachel, she felt sorry for him.

No one could judge whether his choice was right or wrong, as it wasn't fair to him.

Fannie then slowly said, "You're my daughter. I love you more than anyone else. But I can't stay with you your whole life. And, after this incident, I think that Hiram will definitely care more about you. This might be a blessing in disguise."

Rachel closed her eyes and bit her lips. She had vowed not to let him enter her home. But...

He must be very happy after receiving Fannie's phone call.

Just as she was struggling about what she should do, The doorbell rang.

"Come in, the door's not locked!" Fannie answered with a smile.

Then, she saw a familiar figure push the door open.
