Such a Rude and Noisy Woman novel Chapter 398

Rachel rubbed her belly as she went out. She still felt hungry. She had some fish, but it wasn't enough and she wasn't full.

Rachel gazed at the seaside, far off into the horizon. The glow of the sunset colored the sky bright gold. It was breath-taking. Mesmerized by the magnificent colors of the sunset, Rachel kept walking towards that direction. She didn't seem to know where exactly she was going.

The sunset had reminded Rachel of the days she spent with Hiram at the seaside villa and the one she had seen in Cliff Mountain.

But this time, Rachel had a different feeling. She felt sad and depressed as she felt the cold water touch her toes. The sea breeze blew cold wind in her face and it depressed her more.

"Rachel! Ra…"

Marlon was looking for Rachel, shouting her name. Suddenly, he saw a woman going towards the open sea.

The waves broke and spread swiftly over the shore, ready to swallow the woman. Somehow, this woman and the sea looked like an idyllic canvas.

Marlon looked at the woman's silhouette against the western sky. She was lonely, walking all alone under the golden sunset.

Her hair blew in the wind, and so did her thin jacket, which made her look slimmer and weaker. She looked like she could easily be blown away by the wind. Marlon couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault. I asked you to come here and have dinner with me. I didn't know that it would make you feel bad!" Marlon yelled out at Rachel.

Rachel who had been blankly staring at the water, lifted her head to look at the dimming sky. It seemed like marvelous artwork slowly fading from light to dark.

However, Rachel didn't listen to Marlon. She just kept walking into the sea. Her shoes and the bottom of her trousers had gotten wet. And yet, she didn't stop.

At that moment, Rachel felt like a moth. And the sunset was her memory. Right now, she didn't want to think about anything. All she wanted to do was to get into the water, to be comforted by the swirling embrace of the waves.

During the past few days, she had tried to avoid those memories. She just wanted to be strong and live a happy life.

But now, the harder she tried to forget, the lonelier she felt.

"Are you insane? You know that you will die if you kept going, right? !" Marlon grabbed Rachel's arms as he caught up with her. She hadn't stopped treading on and fighting the waves, even though she was almost waist-deep in the water. The next wave could easily wipe her out.

Marlon's words brought Rachel back to reality. She slowly turned around, mechanically, and looked at him. "Marlon, that lady loves you so much. Otherwise, she wouldn't be so mad.

Don't upset her again because of other women, or me. You should go back now. Just leave me alone,"

said Rachel. She broke away from his hands, which were holding her shoulders, turned around and walked ashore.

Marlon stared at Rachel's back, thinking about what she said. He stood still for a while as the waves slapped on him, before he followed Rachel. "I can leave you alone. But I brought you here, and it's my responsibility to take you back. Get in the car,"

said Marlon grabbing Rachel's arm. He pulled her towards his car and opened the car door.

But all Rachel wanted right now was a little space. She wanted to be alone.

"Hey! Your feet will go numb if you walk back. That would be crazy. Get in the car, please!" Marlon said angrily, seeing Rachel ignoring him.

But Rachel was stubborn and Marlon got tired of asking her. So he slammed the door and drove away.

Only after walking for about two hours, did Rachel feel what numb feet were like. She should have listened to Marlon.

The sea was very far away from where she lived. North Sea City was not as big as H City, only one third of H City's total area. However, it was still a large city and walking around was still a challenge.

Rachel didn't bring any cash with her so she couldn't call a cab.

She followed the GPS to walk back home. Rachel dragged along, feeling like her feet were weighed down with sandbags, so heavy that she couldn't even lift them up.

After what felt like an eternity, she finally arrived at her place. Immediately, she got a pan of warm water. She then sat on the sofa and gave herself a foot bath.

She leaned herself on the sofa as she read the latest news on her cell phone.

She couldn't believe that the headline was still there.

Hiram must have paid a lot money to the newspaper company.

'I'm sorry, Hiram.

I know you hate me so much now.

However, if I go back, my mother and I will have to face Gavin and his brutal coldness. And there will be endless fights and quarrels. I hope that my absence can solve all these problems.

What happened to Lydia will always remind them of how much they hate me.' She let out a sigh imagining herself saying all of that to Hiram.
