Such a Rude and Noisy Woman novel Chapter 417

Thinking about this, Rachel felt very upset. She couldn't get it out of her mind.

"Are you jealous?"

Hiram asked, lifting his eyebrows. If he had known that it was so easy to make Rachel jealous, he would have made up some rumors about himself. In that case, Rachel would have come home early to get an explanation from him.

"Yes, I am. I do feel sorry about what happened to Flora, but still...."

Rachel answered, making no bones about her feelings.

"Flora is just a friend of mine, who believes in pure love and disdains the deeds of having love affairs with other people. If there wasn't an emergency, she wouldn't have come to me for help," Hiram explained patiently.

"Oh, is it true?" Rachel looked into Hiram's eyes, not knowing why he looked so steadfast this time. "But from your tone, why do I feel that you and she are more than just friends?"

The fact that he was so sure of Flora's feeling shocked Rachel. 'How can he be so sure?' she wondered.

Rachel's words reminded Hiram of a thing that happened years ago. He looked out of the window and said,"There was a chance for her to take this relationship to a romantic direction, but she refused it. So I am certain that she is not looking for a relationship,"

Hiram said softly, sounding as if this matter had been buried a long time ago. In fact, he sounded like he had nearly forgotten it until Rachel brought it up.

Hiram's words upset Rachel very much. She raised her eyebrows and said to Hiram very angrily,"Hiram, then why do say that your relationship with her is perfectly innocent?

This means that you thought of her in a romantic way!"

Hiram turned his eyes to her and said,"It's not what you think."

"But how am I supposed to take it? You said you had a chance to advance your relationship with her. What chance was it? I want to know it," Rachel asked in great interest, grabbing Hiram's arms.

Ben, who was driving the car, shook his head listening to the conversation. From this, he concluded that one should never bring up former romantic stories to their current girlfriend, or else their girlfriend would definitely start bombarding them with questions.

Since Hiram had brought up this matter to Rachel, he realized he was in trouble. Now Rachel would definitely keep asking for answers even when they were home..

Seeing that Rachel had shown a great interest in his past romantic stories, Hiram decided to tell her the story.

While saying the story, he spoke in a very peaceful and genuine tone.

Hiram had never been in a relationship with any woman before he met Rachel. This was not because he had a low EQ, but because there was no one like Rachel who could turn him on and inspire his masculinity and possessiveness.

During his early days, Flora could be counted as a good friend of his. She was quiet and well-educated

Some of Hiram's friends once joked to him and said that he could try his luck with Flora. Hiram, though he knew that was a joke, agreed with a smile.

However, Flora refused his proposal.

In actuality, Flora said that she didn't like a guy who was in high position, instead, she preferred down-to-earth guys who could cherish her.

After Hiram finished his story, Rachel looked at him with both of her hands clasped on her chin.

"There was one thing I wasn't so sure of before, but after your story, I am pretty sure of it," she replied.

"How so?" Hiram asked. He always thought that Flora was the kind of woman who showed no interest in him, which was exactly why his relation with her had remained the same.

If he doubted Flora's feelings for him, he would have definitely kept her at arm's length.

"It's because I'm a woman. As a matter of fact, Flora liked you, but she wanted to draw your attention with the words she said. For example, when she said that she wants a man who would cherish her, she was actually asking you to do it!"

Rachel replied after she analyzed the situation. Clearly, this was a common tactic that women used to get men's attention.

However, it could also be guessed from Hiram's indifferent reaction that he had no feelings for her at that time. Otherwise, he would definitely have known the true meaning of Flora's words.

Since Hiram didn't have any feeling for Flora, he treated her words as a passing wind and didn't even bother to contemplate over it.

After hearing Rachel's words, Hiram felt she was quite right and then said,"Let bygones be bygones. After all, we have been friends for many years and I think I should do what a friend needs to do in order to help her."

Hiram really wished to let the matter go. However, Rachel stared at Hiram in a pensive mood and then said,"Hiram, if you could travel back in time, would you still love me?

I mean if I happened to meet you much earlier, would you still fall in love with me? Do you think so?"

Hiram looked into Rachel's glittering eyes and curled his lips into a smile before saying,"you said 'if', so it's even not possible."
