Such a Rude and Noisy Woman novel Chapter 91

Hearing Fannie's words, Rachel sat up straight. She knew she had to give her mom an explanation now. She stopped smiling and lowered her head. "We had a big fight the other day and decided to separate for a couple of days to calm down, " she lied.

She had made up this story earlier when wondering what to say in case her mom kept asking about her relationship with Hiram. It would make sense if she said they had had a big fight and couldn't reach an agreement.

"A fight? Why did you two fight with each other? There must be a reason. Cheer up and tell mom the whole thing." Fannie was relaxed after hearing Rachel's words. All couples quarreled, it wasn't a big deal.

Rachel couldn't reply right away. She had prepared several reasons but all of them seemed so faint now. Her mom wasn't an easy woman to convince.

She had to find a reason strong enough that her mom wouldn't doubt it. But what could make Rachel stay in XH Village half a month without leaving, and without calling or mentioning Hiram?

What was the reason?

What was the reason...

Suddenly, an idea came to her.

But

Would it be weird to tell her mom about things that happened between Hiram and her in the bedroom?

Meanwhile, Rachel's silence was driving Fannie crazy. She kept tapping the table in front of her while staring at Rachel's serious face. Why was it taking so long for her to answer? Or maybe something had happened between Hiram and Rachel, just like she had always worried. Maybe it was hard for them to overcome some difficulties and they had decided to separate.

"My dear, did Hiram and you...?" Fannie asked, unable to wait any longer.

"Mom! No kid wants to talk about their secrets with their parents. But since you insist, I'll tell you." Rachel had made up her mind, but it was still really hard to talk about such things with her mother. She felt strangely embarrassed.

But if she didn't say something convincing, Fannie would definitely keep asking until the truth came out.

"What is it? Come on, my dear."

Fannie decided to get to the bottom of the matter. She couldn't understand why they would quarrel with each other. What made her sweet daughter put herself in such a position? Her mother-in-law was easy to get along with, their family was well-off, and above all, Hiram was good to her and respected her. What on earth was the reason? Why?

Rachel sighed and took a deep breath. "We were spending too much time in bed, you know. I couldn't bear it any more, so I gave him this excuse that you needed me to take care of you. Then, I came back here with you."

It took a second for Fannie to digest what Rachel had just said. Then, she burst into laughter. "Oh, my dear daughter, how could you? It is much ado about nothing.

How stupid you are! You're too young to understand. It's a good thing. Look, you've just gotten married and Hiram is in his twenties. Life is an adventure. You have to explore. You shouldn't make a fuss about nothing.

Listen to me, dear. This isn't a big problem, things aren't as serious as you think they are. Call Hiram right now. Tell him you're here with me and ask him to drive you back."

"What?" Rachel asked. She couldn't believe her ears. She stared at her mother, dumbfounded. All of her efforts had been in vain.

The older she was, the wiser she was. Rachel could never win her mom.

"Okay, mom, but Hiram isn't at home now. He's on a business trip. I'll go back when he returns. The best thing to do now is to stay here and take good care of you, dear mom." Even as she lied convincingly, she felt like she couldn't breathe.

They were divorced. That was the truth. Where could she go?

Since the incident, Carl had called her twice to check how she was doing. But Hiram hadn't called even once. She hadn't heard from him at all. It was like he had vanished from the face of the earth.

It seemed like they had broken up with each other for good that night.

Going back? Repair their relationship? It sounded like a joke to her now.

"Don't make things complicated, my dear. You should call Hiram right now. If I don't speak to him, my heart will never beat again, " Fannie declared dramatically. She felt responsible for Rachel's marriage since she was the one who had urged it to happen.

If Hiram and Rachel weren't living happily together, Fannie couldn't lead a peaceful life.

"But mom, I don't want to disturb Hiram while he's working. Can we call him later, please?" Rachel's heart stopped for a second. She knew her mom. If Fannie made up her mind to do something, nothing could stop her. Rachel didn't have any other option. But she had no way to contact Hiram either.
