Such a Rude and Noisy Woman novel Chapter 139

Seeing the tall man continue to walk without any intention of waiting, the woman sped up to catch up with him.

"Hey you, slow down!" she shouted. "People always say that you can never trust a man's words, but I never took it seriously. Now I know it's true! It hasn't even been a year and you already can't wait to get a divorce! Nowadays you don't want to talk to me at all. I bet you've forgotten all those times you asked me out. Now, you cheated on me with another woman! I knew it!

I can't believe I didn't see through your nice guy act. If I had seen you through, I would't have said yes when you knelt down in front of my home, and I should have let you kneel there as you liked!"

No matter what the woman threw his way, the man continued walking without saying anything. He had gotten tired of her long ago and didn't care about her at all.

"Remember our deal? The apartment is mine. Everything inside it is mine. The refrigerator, the microwave oven, the cooker! You're not getting anything!"

The woman shouted, finally catching up to the man and grabbing his arm. She wasn't going to let go of him until he said something she wanted to hear.

"Fine, it's all yours! Take whatever you like, " the man replied impatiently. He pulled his arm out of her grip and walked faster.

"You really don't want anything?" the woman prodded, unsatisfied with his reply. Her voice was furious but her eyes were brimming with tears. "I see how it is! You want nothing but the bitch!"

The man adjusted his sunglasses before glancing at her with a frown. All this was nothing but an act so that they could walk into the court without being recognized. Why was she crying?

"I already told you, there wasn't another woman. Whether you believe it or not is up to you, " he said in no hurry. He didn't even spare a glance at the crowd of journalists at the gate of the court when he passed by them.

The journalists watched the arguing pair walk into the court.

They were waiting for something big to happen, not even caring about the hot weather outside.

To beat the heat, they ate ice-creams as they chatted with each other.

"Look, I bet they're going to get a divorce. The quicker people get married, the quicker they get divorced."

"Exactly! Young people today think of marriage as a game. They get married when they barely know each other. Their morals are getting worse day by day."

Once the man was sure that the journalists at the gate couldn't see them anymore, he slowed down, took off his sunglasses, and turned to his woman.

"Young lady, I never knew that you are such a good actress, " he teased.

The desperate expression on the woman's face was gone, now replaced by a big smile. "There's a lot you don't know about me, " she said slyly.

The man and woman were Hiram and Rachel. Hiram, who usually wore formal suits, was wearing a casual T-shirt and jeans. He looked less like the serious president of Stream Company and more like a bright and promising young man who had just graduated from college.

He laughed and wrapped his arm around Rachel's shoulders. He slowed down his pace and they walked inside together.

Luke had been waiting for them inside the court.

When he saw the couple walking in, he didn't recognize that they were Hiram and Rachel. After a glance at them, he shifted his eyes to the gate again.

'They haven't arrived yet. What's making them so late today?' he wondered.

"Hello, my dear lawyer! Who are you waiting for?"

Rachel asked, jumping in front of Luke's face with a smile.

Luke was nearly startled to death. When he finally recognized who was standing in front of him, he dropped the pen in his hand. He looked at them wide-eyed and open-mouthed, and said, "Oh, my goodness! I couldn't recognize you at all. I was just wondering why you guys hadn't come on time. Look at you!

Oh, I forgot! There are journalists waiting outside! You two dress like this to avoid them, right?"

Rachel nodded. "You're absolutely right, my lawyer! I don't want to see myself in the news early in the morning. Besides, remarriage to the same person is not something to celebrate."

"Okay, now that you're here, come on, follow me!" Luke loosened his necktie a little as he stood up and walked to fetch the documents that he had prepared for them.

"Hiram, you look brilliant today, the most attractive I've ever seen you look!" Rachel commented. She was admiring him with love in her eyes.

If she had gone to college with Hiram, she would have definitely had a crush on him. She would have adored him and wanted to stay with him for as long as she could.

Hiram flashed a smile at Rachel. "I do? Well, since I seem to have pleased you so much, do I get a reward?" he asked, walking up to the desk and taking a seat beside it.

Rachel took a seat beside him, pondering over what he had just said.
