Such a Rude and Noisy Woman novel Chapter 412

"I'm sorry Marlon. I left without saying goodbye and caused you trouble. Rachel said remorsefully, her head hung down.

Marlon looked at her crouched shoulders and said sympathetically,"No, please don't be so polite." He ran a hand through his short hair, and laughed shyly. "If not for you saying you wanted to help us, I wouldn't have helped him find you either."

"Is that so?"

Rachel didn't how else to respond. She was surprised at Marlon's words, and what they suggested. He helped find her, because of the benefits Hiram promised?

"No cross, no crown," Marlon glanced at Rachel and said. "It seems that luck is on my side. I picked up a phoenix and put it into the rooster pen. This time, the Tang family no longer dare to tell me what to do." After some time, he went into his room and let out a deep breath.

He came back too late last night.

Rachel stood at the door and listened. She was a little suspicious.

At first, she thought that she would get used to it, but

as time passed, she felt more and more uncomfortable around him.

After taking a deep breath, she entered his room. "Here you are…The phone... " she said, putting the phone on the table.

Marlon was lying down on his bed, looking comfortable with a quilt wrapped around him. He glanced at her,"What are you doing? "I already sold the phone to you. It's yours now. Or, do you still want me to return money?

You have given me a month's salary in advance, so now we're even." Rachel replied.

Marlon sat up and looked at her. "It doesn't really matter much to me. Hiram promised to help through our problems. This doesn't even come close to that."

"This and that are two different things." Rachel said, looking straight into his eyes.

"He's him, I'm me. You betray me because it is to your advantage, and I give this back because it's not mine." Marlon just sat there looking at her in silence, and without a word, Rachel turned back and walked out of the room.

There must be something in the phone. Otherwise how could Marlon have found her?

"Hey... "

Marlon stared at the door which remained ajar, and followed Rachel with his eyes. A strange feeling was beginning to form in the pit of his stomach. It left a sharp an sour taste- the same feeling people get when they eat green lemons.

He struggled to name the sensation, and after a while, it became clear to him. He was feeling guilty.

In the beginning, he approached her with his mind fixed on his own intentions.

When he found out who she was, he knew she would be useful, but he didn't expect her to come in handy so soon.

However, when the benefits came, he wasn't as happy as he thought.

Rachel walked out of Marlon's room, took a deep breath and went downstairs. She saw Carl waiting for her outside. He was fidgeting, which was something Rachel found to be strange.

When she approached him, he spoke as if he didn't know how to tell her properly. He scratched his head and asked,"Rachel…. Uh.. Hiram wanted to ask, are you going back to H City with us, or... " Carl let the last part of the question as itself. Actually, he was really meant to drive Rachel back, But Hiram wanted him to ask her in this way.

There were two cars in front of her. Rachel glanced at the first car. It was Hiram's. "I want to return to XH Village" she said, then walked towards the cars.

Then she went to the car.

Carl was breathing out a sigh of relief. XH Village was not far from H City. It would be good for Rachel to be there. However, his enjoyment of the thought was cut short when she saw Rachel get in the second car instead of the first.

"Rachel..." Carl was subconsciously shouting.

What are you doing? Hiram was in the front car!

Rachel opened the car door and settled herself inside. Carl quickly followed her to close the door and, unable to contain himself, he said,"Hiram is on the front car!"

Rachel looked at him with a blank expression on her face. "I know. And?" She replied casually, while turning on the car stereo and tuning the channel.

"…" Carl's shoulder sagged as he sighed, resisting the urge to shake his head. Hiram had already driven off and he quickly started the car to follow.

After more than ten hours, they finally arrived at H City.
