Such a Rude and Noisy Woman novel Chapter 384

Rachel felt uneasy being watched by Hiram like that. She looked at Luke and Daniel, but they both looked away. One of them lowered his head to check his cell phone and the other took his wineglass to drink.

"Well, you can just take one shot. Drink mine." Hiram was holding her at the waist but Rachel pulled away and said,"I'll go get another glass."

When Rachel returned with a filled wineglass in her hand, Hiram, Luke and Daniel had almost emptied their glasses.

"Hey, I told you to take just one shot." Rachel looked annoyed. The wine in the glass was more than when she left.

Hiram smiled and elbowed Luke. "Don't blame me. It's Luke. He said he wanted to see what would happen if I didn't listen to my wife."

"Traitor!" Luke pointed his fingers at Hiram stifling a laugh. Luke pretended to be disappointed that Hiram blew the whistle on him.

Rachel turned to look at Hiram, then to Luke then back at her husband. "No matter what you say, it's still your fault. Sure, Luke challenged you to do a childish thing. But you called him on it and did it anyway. How mature!" She exclaimed sarcastically.

Luke then burst into laughter raising his fists in victory. He knew that Rachel was grateful to him and she wouldn't embarrass him.

Daniel, with a smile on his face, looked at Hiram and Rachel, taking a sip of his wine. He could see the enormous love in Hiram's eyes. Hiram and Rachel had been married for three years, and yet they were still very sweet, just as if they had just met, in the heat and excitement early on in most relationships.

Although in the past years, there had been many problems, none of those had a scarring impact on their relationship. Instead, they seemed to be more in love with each other after going through those challenges.

"Daniel, this is for you." Suddenly, Rachel raised her glass to Daniel.

Daniel was overwhelmed with surprise. He clinked his glass with Rachel, smiling broadly and feeling a warm glow inside.

"Thank you for your help and support. I hope we remain friends forever." Rachel smiled back at him, taking a sip from her glass.

Something like this was worth saying and letting people know. Some friends were worth keeping and cherishing. Hiram and Rachel were lucky to have such friends.

"Of course! You, Hiram, Luke and I will be friends forever. When I go to visit H City in the future, I'm counting on you to take care of me. Ha-ha. Am I right, Hiram?" Daniel smiled as he raised his glass to Hiram.

Hiram smiled and clinked his glass with Daniel in response. Hiram took a sip of his wine.

Hiram was never an ungrateful person. He remembered who had helped him or given him support. Daniel had saved Rachel. Hiram would never forget that as long as he lived.

Rachel sat next to Hiram and took away his wineglass. She whispered in his ears. "Enough. You have just recovered. Don't drink too much, okay honey?"

When they were discharged from hospital, the doctor reminded Rachel that Hiram must stay away from alcohol. Hiram was badly hurt and he needed to take good care of himself and be especially careful with his diet.

As good friends did, Hiram, Luke and Daniel drank and talked all night and not wanting to leave until it was very late.

Rachel mostly just sat there and listened to them talking about the past, the future and their work. Although they had different lines of work, somehow they could always find something in common to talk about.

When Hiram and Rachel went back to their bedroom, Rachel was a little drunk herself and feeling sleepy. Hiram changed into his pajamas and lay in the bed holding Rachel in his arms.

"Rachel?"

Hiram gently whispered into her ear, feeling her hair on his nose. But Rachel had already drifted off to sleep. He remained in that position, listening to her breath.

When Hiram was about to turn off the bedside lamp, Rachel's phone lit up.

Hiram was tall so he could see the screen easily. Someone sent a message to Rachel.

It was from a stranger. When Hiram saw the content of the message, he furrowed his eyebrows.

"My sweetie, are you sleeping?"

Staring at this line, Hiram's tipsiness had faded as he took the cell phone in his hand. His eyes had turned into slits.
