Such a Rude and Noisy Woman

Chapter 71 She Will Wait And See

Rachel's cheeks blushed like a ripe apple. She bit her lips unwittingly. She spoke in a sensual voice,

"Fine, I will take a shower and wait for you in a sexy dress. I remember Anya picked one for me last

time and she said I might need it someday. I will put it on. Can you imagine how I'll look like in it?"

Hiram was writing something with his pen at that time. He suddenly stopped after hearing Rachel's

words. Jesus! Her soft voice was so tantalizing that it made him want to go home right away. He

swallowed a couple of times to calm himself down, and finally said to her, "Ok, wait for me."

Hiram quickly hung up before she continued to speak. He took a deep breath and wondered since

when did his innocent Rachel become so naughty.

Or, perhaps she had learned this from him.

Over the past few days, he was trying really hard to get her out his mind so he could concentrate on his

business. Those few words from Rachel made him go back immediately. Only Rachel had this kind of

an effect on him.

Rachel heard the beeping sound coming from her phone and knew Hiram had hung up. She still had a

lot to say, "He's so boring. Why did he hang up the phone in such a haste?"

She stretched lazily and put the photo back. She put her phone on the table, kicked her slippers off,

went to bed and buried herself under the sheet.

The next day was here.

It was ten o'clock in the morning, and Rachel was watering the flowers in Joanna's place. Suddenly her

phone began to ring. It was her mom's call.

"My little darling, we are going to have lunch with Uncle Colin this afternoon. We are meeting at the

Yan's Restaurant at Huaihe Road. Get dressed and hurry up. Come over as soon as possible!" Fannie

urged her.

There were three people in Uncle Colin's family, but Fannie had no one but herself. Thus she called her

daughter to join her. She needed a backup.

Selina was the kind of person who always spoke her mind. If things didn't go on as she expected, she

would speak in the most hurtful manner. Fannie wanted Rachel's presence there so she would not feel

embarrassed.

"Ok, mom, I get it. Relax. I will be there on time." Rachel said as if nothing had happened and she

continued watering her plant. It was a beautiful daffodil in its full bloom.

Today, Rachel already had a plan, and she was sure that uncle Colin would be unable to cause any

trouble.

But tomorrow, she knew things would be different, and that was the real show she wanted to see.

At Yan's Restaurant.

Fannie played the hostess, and all kinds of delicacies were ordered and placed on the table. Colin and

Selina were sitting opposite her while Vicky sat between her parents.

Fannie looked at her watch several times and looked at the door impatiently. She wondered what made

Rachel so late.

"My dear sister-in-law, what on earth would you like to discuss with Colin and me? I hope you aren't

planning to waste our time." Selina glanced at Fannie while speaking. She didn't put Fannie in her

eyes.

Fannie was the daughter of a humble family, and her family was not worth mentioning in comparison to

Selina's. Even though times were getting tough in her parents' house, Selina was not willing to sit

beside Fannie and have lunch together.

"Selina got to the point. Fannie, if you still want to be relatives with us and you still care about our

relationship, then please persuade Rachel to leave Hiram so that Vicky can marry him. Otherwise, the

situation will get embarrassing for you." Colin said as if it would happen right at the moment. Then he

put a cigarette in his mouth and lighted it up.

Hearing what the couple said, Fannie almost blew her head off. "Dear Colin and Selina, just think about

what you said just now! Hiram has his heart set on my girl, and if it weren't true, I wouldn't have been

able to bring them together. The truth is that he has fallen in love with Rachel!"

"That's enough!" Selina clicked her tongue and snorted, "It is because he hasn't seen what my

daughter looks like. He didn't know Rachel has a cousin and thought she was his only choice. He will

make a different choice when he sees Vicky."

"It doesn't matter whether he has other choices or not, Selina, please use your head! You have no idea

about what kind of person Hiram is. If he didn't have any feelings for Rachel, why would he marry her

anyway?" Fannie sneered.

The couple really took their daughter as something special, and they thought she was good enough to

marry anyone she wanted.

Admittedly Vicky was really good looking, but she was weak in personality. She never had her own

ideas and always did what her parents told. She was unquestionably the best choice for the kind of

men who were just into appearances.

Yes, they had no idea about Hiram's personality. He got the eyes of an eagle and would know them

inside and out in one glance. If he could fall in love with Vicky, Fannie thought, she would accept her

defeat.

"Mom? What's all the commotion for? Aren't you people embarrassed that people outside can hear

you?" Rachel came in right at that moment. She walked towards her mom, hugged her and then took a

seat beside her.

"Uncle Colin, Auntie Selina, and Vicky, I know what you are thinking. You want me to give Vicky a

chance to meet Hiram."

Rachel said as she looked at all three of them calmly. But they were wondering what she meant to do.

"Yes, that's exactly what we have in our mind. It is the only fair choice for Vicky, and for Hiram too,

right?" Selina said without any hesitation after she heard what Rachel said.

Rachel smiled and took a cup of tea in her hands. She sipped the tea and said quietly, "Here is what I

think, if Hiram meets Vicky and doesn't want to go out with her, promise me that you will let him go and

never bother him again."

Colin pounded his fist on the table and said, "Yes, of course. If Hiram doesn't like Vicky, what else

would we say? We'll bring her back home right away."

"Ok, you got yourself a deal then! Tomorrow afternoon, at H City Hotel. Let Vicky get dressed and be

prepared. He will see her then." Rachel said with a smile on her face.

Fannie couldn't figure out what was going on. She pinched Rachel on her arm and whispered to her,

"What's wrong with you? Are you out of your mind? How could you make a match for them? You are Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

really pissing me off!"

Rachel felt the hurt on her arm and she patted her mother's hand, "Mom, relax, and don't worry. I know

what I'm doing."

"Are you serious? Rachel." Colin couldn't believe his ears and asked. It was hard to believe that she

was being kind enough to arrange a date for his daughter and her husband.

"You're so nice! Rachel, you're so considerate! Thank you for introducing your cousin to Hiram." Selina

was shocked but excited. If Rachel decided to give them this chance, things would transpire as they

should.

Rachel nodded her head slowly, and all three of them felt relieved.

"You must be on time tomorrow, keep that in your mind. If not, Hiram will leave, and no one would be

waiting for you." Rachel added. She reached out her hands and fetched a pair of chopsticks. Since

things were settled, it was time for her to enjoy her lunch.

Now that all the commotion was put to rest, she could finally enjoy her food in some peace and quiet.

This was the most amicable lunch they had together, and it had never happened before.

Before leaving, Uncle Colin and Auntie Selina were still worried, and they asked again, "It is H City

Hotel, Right? The biggest hotel in H City, Rachel? Once you make your reservation, please let us know

the room number."

Rachel gave them a big smile, "Of course. I will tell you right away after making the reservation."

Vicky glanced at her cousin and wanted to say something to her. But she didn't have the courage to

even look into her eyes. Her face was flushed as if her first love was awakened. She followed her

parents and left with her head down.

After they had gone, Fannie was upset.

"Rachel, my dear daughter, have you lost your mind?

I am ready to sacrifice my own life to make your marriage work. But what did you do? You are

introducing your cousin to Hiram for a date! Are you crazy? I wonder if you are insane!

Hiram is your husband now, and no one can change the truth. Are you going to find a second wife for

your husband and share him with another woman? That's so generous of you, isn't it?"

Rachel didn't feel hurt, and she just listened quietly. Until her mother said what she wanted to say,

Rachel took a seat beside her and spoke slowly.

"Mom, have you ever thought about it? If they don't get a chance to meet Hiram, Uncle Colin will

always believe that Vicky can replace me and marry Hiram. They will do what they can to make it

happen. Why shall we wait for them to go behind our back, why not give them a chance?

Mom, you are underestimating Hiram. Born in such a wealthy family, he has seen girls far more

beautiful than Vicky."

Rachel sipped her tea and continued, "Speaking of other girls, you have met Lydia, right?"

Hearing what her daughter said, Fannie suddenly realized that was true. Lydia might be naive, but she

was really a beauty in all aspects. Compared with her, Vicky looked just so-so.

Living together with such a beauty for so many years, Hiram didn't fall in love with her, so she couldn't

imagine him being attracted to a girl like Vicky. She thought too much of herself.
