Such a Rude and Noisy Woman novel Chapter 218

"Oh, that's okay. But won't it be too tiring for you to cook? Because you know, you have to keep walking around while cooking. How about you wait for another two months?" Rachel asked, walking to her mom and taking a seat beside her.

"I'd rather not. I can't wait to do this. And don't worry, I'm going to hire two servers to help me. I'm not expecting a lot of money from this. I'd be happy with earning enough to just get by." Fannie looked at her cell phone again after speaking.

Hearing that made Rachel feel both surprised and sorry. She furrowed her eyebrows and chided her mother. "Mom, why didn't you tell me that you've already spent all the money that I gave you?"

"Because I haven't, dear. The money you gave me is more than enough. I can spend it for several years without any trouble. But it's just that, you know, I used to work. Now, I've to sit idle all day, and I can't bear it. The boredom is killing me. I know that Hiram can give me money any time I need it. But money isn't the reason I want to do this. I just want to have something to do so I won't feel bored and useless," Fannie explained with a smile, holding Rachel's hand.

"I know it's impossible for me to go back to my previous work. Although my leg has almost recovered, it's not as flexible as before. That's why I came up with this idea. If you don't let me do it, I'll sit around all day feeling bad, and I won't be happy.

How about this, dear? I promise that when you get pregnant, I'll stop working and concentrate on looking after the baby for you."

Talk of pregnancy reminded Rachel about Hiram, and she became annoyed. "Okay then, you can do whatever you want to do," she said abruptly and went back to her room.

She was about to send Celine a message on her phone when she found a message from Hiram that she hadn't noticed before.

It was a message from Hiram said," Rachel, I'm sorry.

Hurting you is the last thing I want to do, but somehow I always end up doing it accidentally. I'm so sorry."

At the same time Rachel was reading the message, Hiram was staring anxiously at his quiet cell phone, waiting for a reply. He had gone to see Rachel as soon as he had returned to the company, only to find out from Daniel that she had asked for leave and handed in her resignation.

He had lived for thirty years and faced all kinds of difficulties, but nothing could compare to the one he was facing now. He felt utterly defeated.

It was almost like Rachel had been sent to him by God just to test him.

Two days later, Hiram received a call from the medical institute.

When he heard the result of Shirley's test, he exploded in an instant.

"What did you say? Can you please say it again?" he asked with gritted teeth.

"Mr. Rong, the result is out, and it turns out that the semen matches your DNA..."

But before the person on the other end could finish, Hiram was so angry that he smashed his mobile phone onto the ground. His eyes turned deep red.

How could things turn out like this?

He hastily took out the SIM card from the smashed mobile phone and stuffed it into his spare cell phone, then called Hearst. "Come here in half an hour, I have something to check with you!"

In exactly half an hour, Hearst arrived at Hiram's office, panting heavily and holding his stomach in pain. "Brother, I have a suggestion. If there's something very urgent, can't we please just talk about it on the phone? I'm so exhausted. There was a heavy traffic jam. But since you seemed so anxious on the phone, I ran the whole way here."

"What happened that night? Tell me everything you can remember. I want to know every single detail," Hiram asked, lighting a cigarette and taking a long drag.

Still panting, Hearst pulled a chair and sat down. He was stunned by Hiram's question, so he scratched his head and hesitated before saying," That night, I don't know why I made the mistake of going to Rachel's room. But brother, you do not have to worry about that. Rachel kicked me as soon as she saw me. And I was so drunk that I didn't even realize what was happening at that time. And all of this happened within just half an hour. I swear to God that nothing happened between Rachel and me. You have to believe me."

Hiram spat out smoke and said," That's not what I called you here to ask about. After all, I know the kind of person Rachel is. I've no doubts about what happened in her room that night. However, what I'm asking you right now is, do you remember any details about what you saw when you came into the room with Rachel?"

Hiram knew Hearst very well. Even if he was dead drunk, he wouldn't dare touch his sister-in-law.

And Hiram knew Rachel even better. She was very sensitive to everything around her. She would have realized something was wrong the moment Hearst had come close to her.

On top of that, another important fact was that Rachel had been on her period at that time.

She wouldn't even let him touch her a little too intimately, so there was no way she would have done anything beyond that.

So when Shirley mentioned an affair between Hearst and Rachel, he hadn't bought it at all. It was completely illogical.

"The details on that night... Let me think. I remember that when we came into the room, Shirley and you were lying on the bed. You were covered by the quilt while Shirley was on top of it, naked. You were dressed, but the buttons of your shirt were open," Hearst began, trying his best to remember.
