Such a Rude and Noisy Woman novel Chapter 7

He could stop with his warnings, Because they weren't working anymore.

"No, I know that you'll always have ways to deal with me. But we haven't gotten married yet. I haven't agreed with my mom on the marriage yet. As long as we are not married, I haven't broken my promise."

Hiram closed the file he was holding and said to Carl, "Let's go."

His time was more precious than hers. He had to attend an important meeting after reaching H City. He couldn't waste time here with her.

Throughout the journey, the pair in the backseat remained silent. The tension between them was thick enough to cut with a knife. It was like there was a Military Demarcation Line.

When Rachel received a call halfway to the city, Hiram gave her a cold look. But beyond that, nothing special happened.

Rachel truly understood what the phrase "at your peril" meant now.

Hiram was cold enough to freeze the whole city.

Rachel had been spoiled by her mother since childhood. She had never been treated like this before.

But luckily, she was not a pushover, so she could handle Hiram.

He wasn't so friendly as to send her home, but at her insistence, he dropped her at a bus station and saved her a lot of time.

After getting home, Rachel carried on with her life. She buried herself in work, which made her temporarily forget the unhappy "blind date."

It was the most terrible blind date in her life.

From the beginning, she had been completely at a disadvantage. The sense of inability almost drove her crazy just thinking about it.

Until...

One day after work, Rachel went home exhausted and lay on the couch. After a while, her cell phone rang. It was her mother.

"Rachel, are you off work?" Fannie asked.

Stretching her legs, Rachel answered, "Yes, I just reached home. Haven't you come back from our hometown?"

"How can I leave at such a crucial moment? Oh, I have been visiting Joanna every day recently. She wants you two to get married as soon as possible too. We've set the wedding date on the eighth of next month!" Fannie said delightedly.

Those words made Rachel immediately jump up from the couch. "Noooo!" She shouted.

"No, mom. It's still up in the air. Why did you set a wedding date?" Rachel asked.

But Fannie didn't think so and said, "How is it still up in the air? You've met your mother-in-law. Your great-grandpa was the one that made this engagement for you. The marriage is all decided."

"Yes, I did meet her. But mom, I haven't even met his father yet! What's the hurry? I've told you that I'll try my best. But you should give me some time."

Just hearing the news that their wedding was fixed made Rachel get goosebumps.

"Honey, do you think I don't know that? After you reached the city days ago, I sent you the addresses of both Hiram's company and his apartment. Did you visit him? It doesn't matter. Basically, your marriage has been nailed down."

Finishing her words, Fannie hung up.

Rachel slumped back onto her bed, her eyes fixed blankly on the black screen of the LCD TV.

Hiram was as cruel as winter. He never showed any sign of tender affection, which was obvious from the time they took his car together. If she couldn't come up with a good idea, she would definitely either be annoyed to death by her mother or tortured to death by the man.
