Such a Rude and Noisy Woman novel Chapter 347

Hearing this, Rachel could feel her knees trembling and the sky above her head spinning. She gathered herself and thought about the conversation she had with her mom. She was sure that there was some kind of a discord somewhere. She fell into a deep thought for a moment. Then she said to Hiram, ''Hiram, can we verify this again, but do this on our own? My mom told me that Landy never had a child. And I have a strong belief that she will not lie to me. I am afraid all these stuffs and that kid could be made up by someone. Besides, the DNA report could even be fake!''

''Rachel, calm down, please. Now they have placed all the necessary evidences. Even if we want to prove them wrong, we need time to collect our evidences to prove our point.'' Hiram spoke furrowing his eyebrows into a deep thought.

The thought of waiting made Rachel impatient. She grabbed Hiram's clothes in desperation and said, ''Yeah, but I know my mom is innocent. And how could I just stand here and see her suffer without any fault? Can we at least talk to Gavin when we go back? Let's go find that witness. I want an explanation from him on why he is doing such a thing to my mom!''

''Rachel, calm down. I can understand your feelings now. But have you ever thought about the consequence of this? Gavin is Hiram's father. There are many things to be considered while dealing with this issue. One mistake from our side and things will get even worse. And if the social media comes to know about this, the Rong family's reputation will be at stake. And what's even worse, it might affect the Streams Company's business.''

Chad said trying to sound reasonable.

Hiram casted a disapproving glance at Chad and motioned him to keep quiet.

Rachel remained quiet as Chad spoke. Then she took a deep breath and pushed Hiram away. Her eyes mellowed down as she spoke, ''Oh, is that so? So, for all these years, I have ended up being an outsider for your family. I need to take the Rong family into consideration. I need to be careful of your family's feelings. But what have I got after all these years? Has Gavin ever cared about his daughter-in-law's feelings even for once?''

Rachel turned her face away from Hiram, grabbed the car handle and said, ''Hiram, if you find this to be embarrassing for yourself and your family, you are free to stay out of this. I will not force you. I can take care of my own business myself. I don't need your help.''

Rachel opened the door of the car and was ready to step out. However, Hiram grabbed her arms and turned her towards him. ''What do you mean by your own business? I promise you that I'll never let anyone to hurt you.

And, Chad. Rachel is my wife. If I do not support her during this difficult time, she'll be all alone and devastated."

How could Hiram do this without considering about how Rachel would feel?

Chad didn't know what to say. He was worried about how this would impact the father and son relationship between Hiram and Gavin. Now it turned out that Hiram had already anticipated it and he was determined to defend Fannie and Rachel, even if it meant that he might have to fight against his own family.

Rachel lifted her head slowly. She looked at Hiram with her eyes swelling with tears, biting her lips. ''I thought that you would leave me again. You would abandon me again.'' She broke into an uncontrollable sob.

Hearing her words, Hiram raised his eyebrows and told Chad. ''Drive us to the Rong family.''

——

''Hey, kids! Your daddy is back!'' Joanna was playing with Jonny and Joyce in the courtyard. When she saw Hiram's car approaching, she grabbed their hands and walked towards the car.

Hearing this, Jonny and Joyce ran to the car door immediately. And when they saw Rachel and Hiram getting out of the car, they shouted in excitement. ''Mommy! Mommy! I miss you so much!''

''Daddy, take me in your arms.'' Joyce walked towards Hiram, stretching her hands to Hiram.

Hiram held his daughter in his arms and nudged her chin. He then said to Joanna, ''Mom, I have come to pick up the children.''

''Well, you haven't come back for ten days. At least have dinner with us before you leave!'' Joanna said and took a glance at Gavin who was looking down from the window upstairs. The disputes between the two families had torn Joanna apart. She could not bear to see her family breaking into pieces like this. She was trying to do her best to put together whatever bits and pieces she could collect.

Hiram was holding Joyce with one hands and Rachel's hand with his other hand. They walked towards the car. He made it clear that he stood in solidarity with his wife.

Hiram put Joyce on the back seat and closed the car door. Then he took a glance at Joanna and said, ''Mom, I have got to go. Bye.''

''Hiram!'' Joanna shouted. But by that time, the car had already zoomed away. Hiram did not look back even for once.

Joanna watched her son leave the house with his family and her heart broke into pieces. She stood there for a while and then slowly walked inside the house. When she entered the door, Gavin had already come downstairs.

''See, because of you, our son doesn't want to come back to our house. Gavin, even if you don't care about Rachel, you should at least be concerned about Hiram. After all he is our son!'' Joanna sighed and shook her head.

''You know what? The only reason that makes this intolerable is that he is my son. You mind your own business, Joanna. Since the situation has worsened to this extent, I might as well talk to them and solve this problem. Then I can truly forget about this.''

Gavin fixed his stare at the door and became thoughtful. Lydia was right.

He might have to solve this problem completely since things had become really complicated.
