Such a Rude and Noisy Woman novel Chapter 391

"No, no! You know Gavin! I know he wasn't making any sense! Don't worry, darling!" Rachel said indifferently and tried to pretend as though nothing bothered her.

Caressing gently her cheek, he whispered in her ear,"I apologize to you on his behalf, honey. He's getting old and is sometimes acting impetuously. I know that what he said to you is a pure nonsense. Please, don't take it to heart, okay?"

"I know. I won't let it affect me. It just went in one ear and out of the other," Rachel replied, snuggling happily in his warm arms.

She laid like that, until Hiram fell asleep soundly. Then she got up, went downstairs to Fannie's room and found out that her mother was packing her bags. Fannie decided to go back to XH Village the next morning.

"Mom, don't be in such a hurry to go, please! Stay with us for a few more days!" Rachel begged like a little girl, as she entered into the room. She was unwilling to part with her mom.

Looking at her daughter with a loving face, Fannie said,"I've already called Richard and told him that I'll be home tomorrow. I have got nothing else to do now, so I'm too excited to just take a nap. Don't blame me for getting ready so early, dear!

I'll prepare some soup later and cook you a delicious dinner too!"

Fannie responded, as she kept on being busy and focused on her packing.

Glancing at Fannie`s back, Rachel's tears were streaming down her cheeks uncontrollably. Still crying, she came over and held Fannie from behind,"I'm sorry, Mom! It's all my fault and you should have never gone through all this trouble. I'm so sorry!"

Hearing Rachel sobbing, Fannie turned around and hugged her, saying,"Honey, don't cry. You don't need to apologize to me for a single thing! Please, understand you have nothing to do with this! Listen, at this age Mom has long been on this earth and seen so many things by now. Don't worry about me!

It's impossible to always walk on a way of roses. There will be storms, rain and rainbows. People are stumbling through their lives every now and then. This is how we learn and grow. I'm lucky enough! I went through all and came out of it - scared, but not seriously hurt and most of all - alive!

Stop crying, honey! There's nothing to be sad about. Let me go back and stay home for a while. Most probably I'll be back to you and the twins in just a couple of days. Come on!"

Instead of making her feel better, Fannie's words woke up in Rachel a new wave of stronger crying. She held Fannie tightly and wept,"Mom, I'm so sorry! I don't want to leave you! I can't! I just can't!"

Seeing her daughter cry so inconsolably, Fannie's eyes also turned red. She patted Rachel on her back and sighed deeply.

Sank so profoundly into their sorrow, they acted as if they were not going to see one another a bit later, as if they had to say goodbye now.

After leaving Fannie's room, Rachel felt the need to go to Joyce's room, but the baby-girl wasn't on her bed. Then worried, like any mother would be, Rachel pushed open the door of Jonny's room.

There she was - the little princess Joyce was sitting on Jonny's bed, pinching his nose, rubbing his hair and tickling him, while she was giggling happily all the time

"Joyce, please, leave me alone!" Jonny pleaded and turned his back to his sister. As he was still sleepy, he really wanted to go back to his sweet dreams.

But Joyce kept making noises and had way too much energy to be able to stop, upon the request of her brother. She could never get bored.

"Joyce, come on! Would you like to play with me outside?" Rachel said to her naughty daughter, who, in the meantime, had started to shake Jonny`s head. The little mischievous girl always made fun of her younger brother.

"Oh, yes!" Joyce shouted, as she jumped from the bed like a rocket, put on her shoes and ran to Rachel.

However, after hearing Rachel, Jonny got up too. He rubbed his large sleepy eyes and said,"Mommy, please, wait a moment! I want to play with you too!"

This sudden, honest, innocent desire made Rachel laugh from all her heart. She could not help, but be astonished by how literally 1 minute ago her baby-son really wanted to sleep or at least - so he said.

"Okay, put on your clothes. How about we play Hide and Seek in the garden?" she asked him.

"I'd love to!" Jonny nodded and replied quickly.

A moment later, Rachel and the twins went downstairs and then into the garden outside. The babies would hide and the mommy would seek for them.

"One, two, three! Ready or not! Here I come to you!" Rachel said loudly with her hands still on her eyes. She supposed that Joyce was hiding behind the trees and Jonny - behind the artificial hill, as they were always doing.

Thus, she went straight to the big tree to search for Joyce, but her little daughter wasn't there. This made Rachel wonder where she could be.

After that she approached the artificial hill to seek for Jonny and he wasn't there too.

"It's weird! Where are they? It seems that the two kids are getting more and more difficult to find and more creative with every new game!" she murmured. Even though she made sure to check every tree, as well as all the flower beds, to her surprise, she didn't find them anywhere.

Just in the middle of her hectic, nervous search, Hiram came over quietly. He stood and watched her smilingly.

"What are you doing, honey?" he asked.
