Such a Rude and Noisy Woman

Rachel Ruan didn't hesitate at all. She opened the front door right away. However, she was shocked to see a very beautiful woman sitting on the passenger seat beside Hiram. Rachel cautiously marvelled at the woman's beauty.

The woman was tall, slim, and was remarkably charming. She could even be a superstar with her beauty. Rachel wondered who this woman was.

Then, Rachel closed the front door, opened the other door and got inside.

They all kept silent. Hiram Rong started the engine and immediately drove away. The car was filled with a strange and agitated atmosphere.

"Mr. Rong, why don't you introduce this beautiful woman to me?" Rachel was a talkative person. She couldn't endure the silence and finally broke it. It would took them a long time to arrive at Rong family's house. If they kept silent for the whole time, Rachel would be drowned to the uncomfortable atmosphere inside.

"Rachel, this is Lydia, my younger sister."

Hiram answered easily while driving his car.

"Oh, so you are my sister-in-law. Hi! My name is Rachel. Nice to meet you." Rachel politely extended her hand to Lydia. Hiram's mother would surely introduce them to each other again later, but Rachel thought that they had better know each other ahead.

Rachel kept reaching her hand to her for a few more seconds. However, Lydia still didn't respond. She didn't even intend to shake Rachel's hand.

Lydia finally opened her mouth and bluntly said, "Don't talk to me. I am not anyone's sister-in-law." She didn't try to hide her emotions, and kept her eyes on Hiram.

She was shocked and looked at Hiram with her beautiful, glassy eyes.

She couldn't believe about what happened.

Lydia heard from Joanna that Hiram would marry Ruan family's daughter. She paid no attention about it, because she was sure that Hiram wouldn't agree with the marriage. Moreover, she knew that Hiram hated to be directed by others.

Rachel drew her hand back after she felt tired. Hiram's sister was really affectionate to him.

"Hiram, please tell me directly. Is that true? You... You already got married to this woman?" Lydia couldn't further control her emotions and asked him straight, even if she knew that Rachel was sitting behind her.

"Yes," Hiram replied.

Hiram attentively drove his car and didn't look at Lydia's distressed face.

Rachel thought that she was unwanted there that time. She felt sorry for Lydia after she saw her upset face. What a pity! This lovable and beautiful woman was her, kind of, 'rival'.

Lydia cried all the way to Rong family's house. Rachel felt like she was drowning in a pond of Lydia's tears.

Then they finally arrived at the Rong family's house. Rachel couldn't bear seeing Lydia's bitter face anymore. Rachel immediately followed and approached Hiram after he got out of his car.

"Hiram, she has been crying the whole time. Why don't you comfort her?" Rachel asked. She glanced at Lydia who was still sitting and crying on the passenger seat. Lydia wore a very distressed and sad face, which should supposedly make a man sympathize with her. But Rachel wondered why Hiram didn't try to comfort Lydia.

Hiram didn't know whether he should cry or laugh after he noticed that Rachel felt sorry for Lydia. "She has to face the reality sooner or later. If I try to comfort her, it would mean that I am giving her hope. It will hurt her even more," Hiram said calmly.

"Just leave her alone. Remember to change your attitude when you enter the house. You should, at least, pretend to care for me in front of them." Then, he held Rachel's shoulders and they went into their house together.

After their dinner, Joanna took Rachel to a corner and chatted with her for a while.

"About Lydia, it's my fault. Hiram didn't like to play with girls ever since he was born. I saw Lydia when I went to an orphanage once. I felt that she was a good girl even though I just met her for the first time. I always wanted to have a daughter.

I thought that Hiram would have more interests in girls if we had a girl in the house. That was why we adopted Lydia. But, as time passed by, Lydia seemed to have fallen in love with Hiram. But, I swear to you. Hiram only treats Lydia as his sister...

And Lydia will also marry someone soon. She won't stay in our family for long."

Joanna said a lot of words to comfort Rachel. Joanna assured to her that no one could ever replace her as their daughter-in-law. She also tried to tell Rachel that she didn't have anything to worry about. Nonetheless, Rachel actually just wanted to say, 'I don't mind it at all! They are absolutely a match made in heaven. Let them be together. I will divorce him one month later anyway!'

Though Rachel didn't care about it, she still pretended to be a little upset. It was because Joanna might find something strange between the two of them if she showed no care at all. The evening arrived and Rachel had to sleep in Hiram's bedroom again.

However, Lydia kept staying at Hiram's side like a little girl. She followed him anywhere he went.

When Hiram was reading his company's files, Lydia quietly sat beside him. She also silently waited for him while he was reading a book.

Furthermore, she sat on the sofa, and waited for him again while he was taking a shower.

Finally, Hiram was about to go to bed.

Rachel was able to watch all that happened. She felt that Lydia really loved Hiram so deepy.

Rachel thought that she was unwanted there, and didn't want to disturb them. So when she saw Hiram come out of the bathroom, she suggested, "What if I sleep in the room next door tonight so you can have a good talk?"

But Hiram just coldly glanced at Rachel.

"Lydia, your sister-in-law and I are going to sleep now. You should go back to your room." Hiram tied his bathrobe and asked Lydia to leave his room.

However, Lydia seemed to be good at bothering people. After she heard Hiram's order, she immediately stood up and looked at Hiram with her beautiful eyes that were filled with tears.

Lydia just kept her eyes on Hiram the whole time. She hadn't paid any attention to Rachel since they first met in the car. So, Rachel thought that Lydia probably didn't remember her face yet.

"Well, um..." Rachel had to do something to stop Lydia. Otherwise, she wouldn't have a good sleep tonight.

So she stood up from the sofa, walked towards Hiram and pulled his arm. She signalled Hiram to hold her waist and said, "Hiram, I am not happy with this anymore. I don't want to see any other woman look at you like that."

Rachel glanced at Lydia and continued, "I would be even more upset if that woman is your younger sister."

Hiram then held her waist, pinched her cheek and sweetly said, "Yes, I know. I don't care how those other women look at me. Just remember, you are the only woman in my eyes."

Hiram's sudden words gave Rachel goose bumps all over her body, but she had to continue on her act.

Or else, Lydia might stay in their bedroom and watch them sleep.

"Lydia, I hope you can accept the fact that we are already married. Just be my younger sister and behave well. Don't try to irritate me." Hiram gently tried to persuade Lydia.

Hiram didn't ever scold Lydia firmly. Lydia was always very good and obedient to him. She just made a mistake in love - she loved a wrong man.

At last, Lydia wiped her tears off. She sadly looked at the couple hugging each other. Then she depressingly turned around and walked out of their bedroom.

The doorway was just a few steps away, but Lydia walked so slowly. Rachel felt that it had taken her almost ten minutes to get out of their bedroom.

After Lydia completely left, Hiram strode to the door and locked it.

Rachel heaved a sigh of relief. She lay on the bed and started to have fun with her phone.

She switched her phone on and browsed the news. But soon enough, she felt that something heavy was resting on her back. So, she slowly turned her head around. She was so surprised to see that Hiram was shamelessly resting his face on her shoulder. And he was reading the news on her phone, too.

"What news are you reading? A husband had an affair, and they were discovered by his wife? Rachel, is that what you usually read?"☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
