Such a Rude and Noisy Woman novel Chapter 206

"Hiram, did you already know about this? Why didn't you tell me? You didn't even prepare me for it! Is this what you meant by white lies?

Get out of here! I don't want to see you!"

She bellowed at him.

Hiram caught the pillow she threw at him with one hand and walked towards her, then comforted her in a low, soft tone. "I only found out about this a few days ago. I didn't tell anyone about it then because I was planning to investigate it on my own first, but my dad found out about it somehow.

I was as unprepared for it as you were. Anyway, it doesn't make sense.

I can believe what people say about the relationship between your father and my aunt, but... I'm not going to sit here and accept what they're speculating about our relationship!

Don't worry about it, dear.

Once I have proper evidence, you're the first person I'll tell!" Hiram said firmly, holding her tight and kissing her forehead.

Rachel slowly raised her head, and a flicker of despair flashed in her eyes.

"Hiram, if... If I am really Landy's daughter, then…isn't it incest?"

"Shut up." Hiram's tone became more urgent as he tried to convince her. "You can rest assured that it is impossible."

Rachel nodded. "I know. I won't take that ridiculous DNA test! We are husband and wife. This is the truth!"

Hiram kissed her soft hair and said, "We're not going to the hospital. I don't care who you are. All I know is that you are my wife, the only woman in my life!"

God would not make such a brutal joke...would he? His true love turned out to be his cousin? Definitely not!

But even if she did turn out to be his cousin, so what?

He would still love her forever.

He would never give her up.

"Let's go home. I don't want to stay here, " Rachel said, breaking free from his grasp with watery eyes.

Hiram looked at her expression with his eyebrows wrinkled. He couldn't help but pull her into his arms again. He hated himself for not being able to protect her every time.

"Okay, let's go home!"

Hiram drove her back to the Tulip Palace in the middle of the night.

Once they were home, Rachel locked herself in her room and called Fannie.

"Mom..."

"Rachel? Why are you calling me at this hour?" Fannie had been asleep when her phone rang. Seeing that the call was from Rachel, she had immediately gotten up and answered it.

Rachel wiped the tears in the corner of her eyes and said with her voice trembling, "Mom, am I really your daughter? Or did you adopt me?"

"You stupid girl. Why are you saying such things? Of course you're my daughter, you came out of my womb. Why would I lie to you?" Hearing Rachel crying on the other end, Fannie quickly put on her clothes and asked, "What happened? Did someone say something?"

Rachel wiped the tears on her face and said, "Mom, tell me the truth. I know that the Rong family once had a daughter called Landy. Did she have an affair with my father?"

Fannie was shocked when she heard that. She stayed silent for a long time before saying, "Rachel, who said this to you? Where did you hear it?"

"Mom, everyone in the Rong family knows now. Today, when I went to their house, my father-in-law told me about it." Rachel could barely choke back her sobs. Fannie must know something about the matter.

"Dear, I'll visit them tomorrow for you. Don't panic now. This matter has nothing to do with you. I will protect you!" Fannie comforted her, but inside, she was worried about how she was going to deal with this.

After being hidden for so long, the secret had finally been discovered by the Rong family.

But why should Rachel be the one being punished for it?

No, Fannie wouldn't allow it to happen!

After hanging up the phone, Rachel hid in her room for a long time until there was a knock at the door.

"Rachel, are you still sleeping?" Hiram was worried since he hadn't heard any sound from her room for a while now. He had tried twisting the handle, but the door was locked.

"Rachel, open the door. Come out and have breakfast!" he shouted, knocking on the door again.

His voice pulled Rachel back to earth. She picked up her mobile phone and looked at it. It was already half past six. She slowly stood up and stretched her numb body, then opened the curtains to find that it was bright outside.

Hiram was about to knock on the door again when it opened.

"Wait for a while, I have to change my clothes, " Rachel said numbly, then walked back to her bed.

Feeling thirsty, she drank some water, then started to get ready.

Hiram watched with a worried expression on his face. Rachel looked like she was barely present there.

Once she was done, he held her hand and led her to the stairway. "The photos have been printed. I'll ask them to send them over after work."

After having breakfast, Rachel got into Hiram's car and they both headed to their office.

On the way, Hiram received a call from Gavin. Gavin urged him to take Rachel to get the DNA test done, but Hiram refused.

"Do you expect her to get a test done every time there's a rumor?" he answered simply before hanging up.

Rachel was right to refuse to take the test. They shouldn't allow such blasphemy in their marriage.

During work, Rachel was somewhat absent-minded. Daniel knocked on her desk for the third time that day.

"Rachel, what are you painting? No offense, but it looks like chicken scratch."

Rachel properly looked at the blueprint she was painting and realized that it was a mess. She said hastily, "I'm sorry… I didn't sleep well last night."

"Come to my office, " Daniel said, walking towards his office.

Rachel got up and followed him into his office. She hesitantly closed the door behind her, preparing herself mentally for a lecture.

Daniel poured a cup of tea and gave it to her. "Sit down."

Rachel nodded and took a seat in front of his desk. Still absent-minded, she drank the tea without blowing on it first, scalding her tongue.

"Now, I'm going to give you ten minutes. During that ten minutes, I am not your boss, just your friend. So if you don't mind, you can tell me what's going on. Why are you acting like this?" Daniel asked gently.

Rachel held the cup and looked at the ground.

She breathed deeply and said, "Yeah… Something bad happened at Hiram's parents' house."

"Oh? What's the matter?" Daniel frowned. The young couple's life was filled with so many ups and downs.

"My father-in-law was very close to his sister before she died. Now, it seems that her death had something to do with my father... And that seems to be a big deal to my father-in-law, "

Rachel said, taking a deep breath and trying to calm down. If Gavin had come all the way from the United States just to investigate this matter, he wasn't going to let it go so easily.

Although Rachel's words were barely coherent, Daniel managed to grasp the meaning.

"I heard about this from Luke. But does the Rong family really consider you as an enemy now?"

Daniel asked.

Gavin loved his sister so much that even after all these years, he felt regretful over her death. If Rachel's father really had something to do with Landy's death, Then Gavin would vent his anger and remorse on Rachel.

It was a tricky situation to be in.

Rachel nodded, then took out her cell phone, which had been ringing for a long time. "Hey… Mom?

Oh, you're here? What...? You're going to visit the Rong family now?"
