Such a Rude and Noisy Woman novel Chapter 227

"Do you feel better now?" Hiram asked, as he scooped up a spoon of soup and brought it closer to Shirley's lips.

Overwhelmed, Shirley surpassed the notion of opening her mouth, and instead, stared at him in an absent-minded manner.

"Yes, thank you. I feel much better! Apparently, women tend to feel sick during the first trimester of pregnancy. After that, however, it will get better," Shirley replied, after she opened her mouth to swallow the soup.

Hiram scooped out another spoon slowly and said," Here you go. Thank you for doing this for me."

Gazing at his enchanting eyes, Shirley felt extremely proud that she was carrying Hiram's baby.

"No! I am the one that should be thankful. You know, I'm very lucky to bear your baby," murmured Shirley.

As Shirley enjoyed a sweet moment with Hiram, they suddenly noticed a noise at the door.

"What are you doing, Hiram?" Rachel exclaimed.

Standing at the door, Rachel displayed a faded look towards Hiram feeding Shirley. Heartbroken, she bit her lip forcefully.

"Can't you see what I'm up to now? I don't hide anything from you. It's my baby, and it's innocent. Even if Shirley wasn't suppose to do this, we can't change the truth here. Taking care of the mother of my baby is the right thing to do." Hiram said.

Instead of looking at Rachel, he continued to feed Shirley soup.

On the other hand, Shirley felt like her dream came true and she couldn't help but grab his hand. "Thank you, Hiram. Thank you for supporting me. I promise to do everything I can to make sure the baby gets delivered safe and sound."

"Don't become too excited. As long as you give birth to our baby, I won't kick you out of my life. I promise. After all, you're his mother," Hiram said. He glanced at Shirley's hands, which were placed firmly on his, as he tried very hard not to show his true feelings.

"Hiram, darling, you know what you're talking about, right?" Rachel shouted.

Hurt and furious, she rushed over to them and knocked the soup bowl out of his hand, which fell on the ground. Staring at her husband, she continued with distraught," I never expected you to say that. If Shirley stays with you after she gives birth to the baby, then what about me? Are you planning on divorcing me?"

"Of course not! You don't understand, honey. You're my wife now and forever. This baby is a bastard, and no other baby will take the place of our baby. The baby you give birth to in the future will be the one and only rightful heir of our family. There's no need to worry!" Hiram replied.

He stood up and walked over to Rachel, grabbing hold of her hands in the attempt to comfort her.

Rachel glanced at Shirley who was subtly lying on the bed. Her anger didn't diminish straight away. "But, what if the bastard baby fights for the family's wealth! I don't think this is fair for my future children. What do you think?" she asked.

"Trust me, honey. Our son will be the first heir in order, and that won't ever change. I'll write up a will that ensures that all of my wealth belongs to our kid. As for Shirley, I believe she wants nothing but a baby that has my genes, and this is why she made me endure this trouble. So, there's nothing to worry about," Hiram explained.

He patted Rachel on her shoulders before turning to Shirley, and proceeded to ask," Am I right about you, Shirley?"

Shirley was stunned at what they said and nodded her head stiffly.

'What? My son won't receive a penny when Hiram closes his eyes? All of his wealth will be designated into the pockets of that bitch's children?

Then, what's the purpose of my insisting on giving birth to my baby here?' she said in her mind.

"You're so sweet, honey! I love you. Here is the deal. Shirley can give birth to this baby, but she must leave after the delivery. She can get married to somebody else, but you are forbidden to see her again," Rachel said briskly, as she pouted her lips.

Hiram nodded and said," Okay, deal! After she delivers the baby, I'll find a husband for her, the baby will stay with us, and you'll be his mother."

Rachel thought his suggestion over for a second. After she grabbed hold of his arm, she agreed," Fine, deal."

"Excuse me now, as I would like to talk to my son," she said and pushed Hiram away before sitting down on Shirley's bed.

"Shirley, you must take care of yourself. You don't want my son to starve now, do you?" Rachel said and she placed her hand on Shirley's belly, touching it softly, before turning towards Hiram," Have you thought of a name yet?"

"Not yet. You're his mother, and it's up to you." Hiram glanced at Rachel fondly, and with a bright smile.

Rachel seemed unaware about the pale look on Shirley's face, and continued to gaze at her belly. She continued," What about the name Jonny? I've been thinking about what to name my future kids ever since I was a little girl. If it's a boy, may we call him Jonny?"
