Such a Rude and Noisy Woman

Chapter 239 Rachel Was Having Twins

Annoyed by Gavin's words, Joanna said,"Come on, darling! They're young, and I believe they have

their own plans. Can we just have our dinner now?"

Gavin groaned disapprovingly and continued,"As the old saying goes, there are three major offenses

against filial piety and the worse one is not producing an heir. You were pregnant with Hiram half a year

after we got married. Listen carefully, you can throw a wedding as long as Rachel gets pregnant!"

Seeing Joanna and Gavin argue, Rachel put her chopsticks on the table silently.

She looked down at her flat belly and sighed deeply.

Now she understood why Hiram had wanted to have a baby so desperately;

he'd known that his father would do this to her one day.

Suddenly, taking her hand and turning to his parents, Hiram said,"Mom and dad, I was supposed to tell

you a few days ago, but since I knew mom's birthday was coming, I wanted it to be a surprise.

Rachel is... Rachel's pregnant!"

Joanna got up on her feet immediately and asked,"Really? Say it one more time! Rachel's pregnant? I

didn't hear you wrong, right? Thank god!"

Rachel looked down at the table bitterly. If Gavin was nice to her, Joanna's reaction would have made

her happy.

"Of course it's true! Have I ever lied to you, mom? And the real good news is, Rachel's going to have

twins!" Hiram said excitedly, gazing at Rachel proudly.

Joanna had a twin sister, so she was delighted that her grandchildren were going to experience the

same things as she had.

Radiant with joy, she walked to Rachel right away and said,"Oh, my god! I wish you had told me the

moment you found out, my dear Rachel. Oh, Gavin, I need to visit the temple tomorrow and show my

gratitude to our ancestors! I've been looking forward to grandchildren since Hiram graduated from

college, and now, at last, it's becoming a reality! I think you should move in with us, Rachel dear."

Gavin was shocked by the news, as it was the last thing he had expected. He'd told Hiram that they

couldn't have a wedding unless Rachel was pregnant just because he'd wanted to gradually persuade

Hiram to leave Rachel, but now it turned out that she was really pregnant.

What was more, she was having twins.

Although Shirley had gotten herself pregnant by IVF, she had only one baby in her belly, but now

Rachel was having twins. It seemed God had his plan.

"Good to know," Gavin said abruptly and stood up. He said to Joanna,"Honey, I need to make a call,

please excuse me now." Then, he went to his room.

Rachel knew it would take time for Gavin to accept it, so she heaved a sigh of relief and said to

Joanna,"Mom, thank you, but Hiram has already found maids to take care of me in Tulip Palace, and

I'm afraid I feel more comfortable there."

"No, I insist that you move in with us. I believe I can do much better than any maids, and they're my

grandchildren, you know!" Joanna couldn't stop beaming as she spoke, and she patted Rachel on her

hands.

She'd felt upset when she'd learned that Shirley was pregnant with Hiram's baby, but now, hearing

about Rachel's pregnancy, she felt nothing but delight.

Knowing what Rachel was worried about, Hiram said,"Mom, take it easy! I'll try my best to make more

time for Rachel, and I promise nothing will go wrong. Please let Rachel decide where she's going to

live."

As long as Rachel was pregnant, he knew that his father wouldn't do anything to hurt them.

"Okay, I know. But Hiram, you must take good care of my daughter-in-law! I know you're busy with your

work, but remember, nothing is more important than your wife and kids," Joanna said.

"Let's get back to our dinner now. We've barely eaten anything. And Rachel, come on. I remember

these are your favorites!" Joanna said as she reached out to put more and more food into Rachel's

bowl.

At the beginning of the dinner, Rachel had been upset by Gavin, but by the time dinner was over, she

felt overstuffed by Joanna.

After that, Rachel and Hiram went back to Tulip Palace.

"Hiram, tell me the truth! Are you hiding anything from me?" Rachel asked.

Hiram was leaning back on the bed rest and reading a book, while Rachel was sitting there with her

legs crossed, confused about Gavin's recent behavior. She pulled the book from Hiram's hands.

Hiram looked at her affectionately. He knew that Rachel was sensitive and smart, and that she might

have noticed something today. He smiled and said,"Honey, just ask the questions in your mind! Go

ahead!"

Rachel put the book on the night table and said,"Hiram, I want you to tell me the truth! I know you're

hiding something from me. Just give me a hint at least! What has made your father's attitude towards

me change so abruptly?

Even if he is right about my dad dating your aunt, my dad didn't kill her after they broke up, right? And

yet, I feel like your father is starting to hate me more and more."

Hiram didn't reply right away. He reached out to pinch her chubby cheeks, and then said with a light

smile,"You don't know my father. It might seem like he's good at separating public and private affairs,

but he usually takes things very personally.

Yes, your dad didn't actually kill my aunt, but he broke her heart, and that's why she died. My father

loves his sister and regrets what happened to this day, so now he's venting all his anger at your dad on

you."

Rachel looked at him suspiciously and said,"That's it? Is there anything else?"

"Of course no! Listen, my father has never gotten over his sister's death, so when he learned about the

relationship between your dad and her, he felt like his old scar had been torn open again. It's normal

that he can't accept it right away, right? I think we should give him some time," Hiram explained.

Holding her in his arms, he could smell the fragrance of her hair. He began caressing her shoulders.

Rachel felt the temperature rising, and she shifted away from him. "Okay, that makes sense. But if you

find out anything new, you must let me know immediately. It really pissed me off that you kept me in the

dark last time," she said.

Hiram's bright eyes darkened and he nodded reluctantly.

He couldn't tell her that there were rumors that her mom had caused Landy's death, because he didn't

know if it was true yet.

And besides, he didn't think Rachel would be able to take it if he told her now.

"Honey, let's go to sleep now," Hiram said hoarsely after turning off the orange lamp on the night table.

Rachel pulled his hands off her and said,"No, please leave me alone! The doctor said we shouldn't

have sex in the first three months, remember?"

"Let me just die…"

Hiram murmured. He rumpled his hair and then closed his eyes with Rachel in his arms.

In his mind, he blamed God for making him go through this. He had waited for nearly thirty years before

he had Rachel sharing his bed, and they were separated from time to time because of one problem or

the other. Now they were finally able to sleep together, but she was pregnant.

Rachel knew what he was thinking about. She patted him on the chest and whispered,"Come on! Think

about it! We'll have two adorable babies a few months later. Aren't you excited? Time flies fast!"

Hearing her words, Hiram felt a sweetness he'd never felt before.

"I'm fine. You and our babies are more important than anything in my life. Night, night!" he whispered Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

and kissed her on her forehead.

The night was dark, and the moonlight was seeping through the window. Soon, the room was filled with

only their rhythmic breathing as they slept soundly.
