Such a Rude and Noisy Woman novel Chapter 104

Rachel didn't look in the direction of the door. She cast a glimpse at Shirley.

Shirley dropped the fruit she had just picked up back onto the plate. She tidied her hair up hurriedly and stood up. Her eyes...... were bright with obvious and vehement love and were fixed on Hiram who was entering the house.

Rachel took a sip of tea before turning her head to look at Hiram who was coming towards her.

From the moment Hiram had stepped into the house, his eyes were caught by Rachel who seemed not to be very happy to see him.

He saw Rachel in a gorgeous beige floral print frock with a hemline just above the knee. Her fair and slim shanks were exposed. The high-heeled shoes she wore made her look so sexy.

Especially......

The eyes she turned towards him reproachfully.

Hiram felt excitement surging inside him when Rachel looked at him. He wanted to hold her in his arms and listen to her grievance.

"Mom! Aunts! Good evening!" Hiram walked towards the seniors with a deliberate step. He apologized politely, "Sorry. There was an emergency at office that only I could handle, so I'm late."

"Amy, start to serve the dishes!" Hiram said to the house maid behind him.

"Hiram, I know you are busy, so I didn't want to ask you to come over. But the dinner today is different!" Hiram's eldest aunt said, glancing at Rachel standing at the other side of the room.

Joanna also stood up. She said to her twin sister, "All right. Let's go to the dining room to have dinner."

When the seniors left and walked towards the dining room, the young people circled Hiram.

"Hiram, your schedule is so busy. We have to wait for you to introduce your wife!" Susan bantered with Hiram with a smile.

"Susan, how could you say that? Hiram is busy. So it doesn't matter that the introduction comes late. It's not a big deal, " Shirley said and said to Hiram with a big smile, "Hiram, you must be exhausted! Get ready for the dinner then!"

Hiram slightly furrowed his eyebrows. He smiled with resignation, 'Rachel must have been teased with the same words before I came.'

There were plenty of relatives in the Rong family. It was inevitable that some of them would disagree with Hiram and his family and say something unkind. But they were relatives after all, so Hiram wouldn't create a scene with them.

"Shirley, you and others do go to the dining room first. I will come later." After saying that, Hiram looked at Rachel who was standing aside cracking melon seeds.

"We are going to the dining room now!" Miranda held her two sisters by their hands and walked towards the dining table.

Rachel didn't want to stand up, but the seniors and the young people all stood up. She would be embarrassed if she still sat there. So she stood up to greet Hiram.

Rachel saw that the three girls were gone. She dropped the melon seeds, clapped her hands together to dust off the residue and turned to go to the dining table.

But as she stepped forward, her hand was gripped by Hiram.

He took her into the storeroom nearby.

"What happened? Did you face any unkindness?" Hiram pulled Rachel into the storeroom and closed the door. Then he wrapped his arms around her and asked in a gentle voice.

He raised his hand to flick a wisp of curly hair behind her ear. Then he lowered his head to look at Rachel.

It was said that three women together could perform a play. Friction couldn't be avoided when women were together.

"Mr. Rong, if there is a situation like that in the future, could you inform me ahead of time? This is your 'just visit my mom' thing?" Rachel looked up and glared at Hiram. He hadn't informed her of this feast before, so she was not prepared at all.

"Yes, I will let you know in advance next time. Today's feast is my mom's impromptu decision. I didn't get the notice until today like you." Hiram explained. Then he asked, "Did Shirley find fault with you?"

Rachel curved her lips and said, "Yes, she did. But I put her in her place. Hiram, if you are not afraid that I will throw your home in turmoil, I won't mind attending more family feasts like that with you!"

That was the first time she had met Shirley. So she made a concession.
