Such a Rude and Noisy Woman
Chapter 211 Things Were Complicated And Confusing

Although Rachel knew that Hiram might become unhappy if she asked him such a question, she couldn't help asking him.

The restaurant wasn't far from the Tulip Palace, so they were walking back home.

Hiram was walking next to her on the sidewalk, holding her hand. He looked at her and said without any emotion," I don't think that woman in the restaurant has done anything wrong.

Many married men date lots of women. Most of their wives choose to forgive them or turn a blind eye to it. Even though these women aren't being cared for by their husbands, they still choose to put up with their loneliness. Therefore, as the saying goes, a smart bird chooses a good tree to nest in.

If you meet someone who cares about you and treats you better, why bother maintaining a broken marriage and letting yourself be restricted by moral principles?"

Rachel agreed with Hiram, but she was confused. How were his words related to her question?

"So, are you suggesting that if things don't work for us in the future, I should run away from you?" She smiled, embarrassed.

When she finished her question, she felt a sharp pain in her hand. Hiram had tightened his hold on her hand, and he said in an overbearing way," What are you talking about? You really think I will give other men a chance? The only way you can cheat on me is if I'm no longer living in this world."

Rachel pulled her hand away from Hiram. She rubbed it and said," Even while you're living in this world, I can still hang out and be friends with other guys."

"Do you think I'll just let that happen without keeping an eye on you? Let me tell you something, my perseverance and ability are beyond your imagination. I'll always watch you. You can never run away from me for the rest of your life."

He grabbed her hand again, gently this time.

Then, they decided to head back home.

But Rachel asked Hiram to take a walk with her before getting into their mansion.

After everything that happened that day, Rachel was exhausted. When she walked into the bedroom, she found Hiram, having finished his shower, lying on the bed and waiting for her.

Rachel didn't say a word. She took her night robe and went into the bathroom to take a shower. When she came out, Hiram immediately lifted her in the air and threw her onto the bed. But just as Hiram climbed on top of her, Rachel shouted," Stop! Bad news, Hiram. My girl has started her monthly job."

Hiram rolled his eyes and said," so, still not pregnant?"

Rachel laughed and touched his disappointed face. "It's fine, Hiram. To be honest, I'm not ready to be a mom."

On top of that, so many things had happened lately. Both of them were stressed, so that might be the reason why Rachel hadn't gotten pregnant yet.

They had to just let nature take its course.

Hiram breathed a sigh of relief and lay down on the other side of their bed. He looked at her and smiled gently. "All right, this means that I can do whatever I want a few days later. I don't have to suppress myself!"

Rachel felt Hiram's warm and big hands rubbing her belly. She looked at him affectionately as he said," All right, Rachel. Let's go to sleep."

In a city not far away from H City...

In a plain restaurant near a farm, there was a dignified and majestic man standing in front of a middle-aged woman, who was too scared to lift her head.

"From now on, answer every question my master asks. I don't care if someone has given you money or warned you. From now on, you can't lie to us. Your family, your job... We need to know everything. So, please be honest,"

the butler said and looked at Gavin, who was sitting beside the woman. Gavin nodded his head and the butler took a step back.

The middle-aged woman nodded her head and said with a shaky voice," De... Dear sir, I don't dare to lie to you. Ple... Please ask me..."

Gavin put his hands on the desk. "Are you from XH Village?" he asked.

"Yes." The woman answered without hesitation, lowering her head.

"Do you know Landy Rong?"

"I met her twice. I wouldn't say I know her. At that time, no one in the village knew exactly who she was. We all thought she was a relative of the Rong family who had come here for vacation." "You said that you saw her with Simpson Ruan. Is that true?"

"Yes, it's true. But as you know, back then, people weren't so open about relationships. Everything was done behind curtains those days. Therefore, very few people knew about their relationship!"

the woman answered honestly. She knew that the Rong family had a powerful background.

She would never ever dare to lie to them.

Hearing her answer, Gavin sighed. "No wonder... No wonder I couldn't replace this information even after investigating for such a long time. Why didn't you tell me this before?"

"Well, Mr. Rong, please forgive me. I'm part of the Ruan family, and Simpson was a very important figure in our family. How could I say something bad about him? So when you asked people one by one, I just... just said that I knew nothing..."

The woman lowered her head. She was so nervous that she kept rubbing her trousers. "At that time, I was afraid, I didn't dare to say anything. After all, it was about Miss Rong's death. I was afraid that I would say something wrong that would implicate others and get them into trouble."

Gavin banged the table with his fist. He looked at her with his sharp eyes and said," Implicate others? Landy, an eighteen-year-old little girl, died for no reason. And you were afraid of implicating others?

Tell me. Before Landy... Before Landy died... did you meet her?"

Gavin asked her in a softer tone, calming himself down.

She shook her head and answered," No. I didn't run into them all the time. I only met them twice. Besides, Simpson and Fannie were engaged at that time. How would I dare to say anything!"

She was a good friend of Fannie's, so she couldn't say anything that would embarrass her friend. Besides, she was a cowardly woman to begin with.

Gavin slowly closed his eyes and tried to calm down himself. Every time he talked about Landy, it was hard for him to remain calm.

The butler knew Gavin well, so he handed Gavin a cup of tea. "Mr. Rong, please calm down."

"Last two questions. When you met Landy, did you notice anything wrong? Things like, was she pregnant at that time?"

Gavin asked her patiently. Although he had heard the answer a thousand times from his men, he wanted to verify it in person anyway.

He wanted to know what had happened that year.

"Well..." The woman was trying to remember the details. She furrowed her eyebrows and after a long time, she said," Oh, I remember that one time I met her, she was dressed in loose clothes, quite different from what she usually used to wear.

But I didn't think too much about it then. You know, people were seldom dressed nicely back then. So even though she was a relative of the prestigious family, we didn't think too much about it. Yes, I think I do remember that she was dressed in loose clothes one time." Her answer made Gavin clench his fists. He took a deep breath.

So Landy having a child wasn't a groundless rumor after all.

However, who could be the biological father of that child, if not Simpson?

"What about Fannie? Did she interact with Landy often at that time?" Gavin asked. This was his biggest confusion. Somehow, he felt that Fannie knew a lot about this story.

"Uh, I don't know. At first, she knew nothing about their relationship. But down the line, she realized that something wasn't right. Fannie is the toughest woman among us. She loved Simpson very much, so she talked to Landy about it. But I don't know how the conversation went!"

said the middle-aged woman. She sighed and said," After all, this kind of thing hurts. It wouldn't have been right for me to ask her about it. And I really don't know if they met after having that conversation.

Mr. Rong, that's all I know! I swear that I'm not lying to you! If I am, I'll be struck by lightning and split into two!" Gavin waved his hands.

The butler brought out a thick envelope filled with money and put it on the table in front of the woman. 000000☐☐☐☐☐☐
