Such a Rude and Noisy Woman

Chapter 130 Father's Love

"Really?" Hiram sneered. Since no one had touched the divorce agreement except Lydia, he didn't

believe what she was saying.

Still, Lydia looked innocent and weak. She shook her head and took a deep breath before saying, "I

entrusted my friend to submit the agreement to the court, but I promise I didn't know that she kept the

copy.

I didn't find out till today. She did say she would take revenge for me, but I didn't take it seriously. What

she did is more than anything I ever expected.

Hiram, please believe me. I already realized that I was in the wrong the last time we spoke, so I

wouldn't do anything to hurt you and Rachel again, " Lyida said.

Hiram sighed deeply and asked, "Lydia, can I really believe you?"

He was sure Lydia couldn't have shown the agreement to Rachel's family, because she had been in the

U.S. the whole time.

But who dared to do such a thing without her knowledge or permission?

Lydia shook her head and repeated, "Hiram, I promise I didn't do it! If you don't believe me, you can

check my chat records."

She took out her cell phone and unlocked the screen. Hiram saw that her phone background was a

picture of him.

Lydia looked very anxious and was eager to show the records to him. Hiram narrowed his eyes.

When she finally found them, she showed them to him with tears in her eyes. "Look, Hiram! Lynn only

told me about it this afternoon. I didn't ask her to do anything else except submit the agreement to the

court, " Lydia said.

Hiram didn't want to waste his time with her explanations any longer. He pushed her hand aside and

the cell phone fell down to the floor.

"Don't play tricks! Even if you didn't do it yourself, you're the one who caused the problem in the first

place. Don't you think your explanation is pathetic?" he asked.

Lydia stood there and looked helplessly at him like a child, with tears streaming down her cheeks.

She said, "Hiram, you're right, it's all my fault.

I shouldn't have been born into this world, I shouldn't have been adopted by your parents, I shouldn't

have become your sister!"

While she cried, a man's voice loudly said, "What are you doing? Hiram, when did you come back?"

Gavin came over and, seeing that she was still crying, patted her on the shoulder. "Why are you so

sad, Lydia?" he asked gently. "Tell me what happened."

"Dad..." Lydia held Gavin and began sobbing uncontrollably. She pleaded, "Dad, can you help me

explain everything to Hiram? I admit that I made a mistake, but I really didn't know anything about the

copy, and I definitely didn't ask anyone to do anything!"

Gavin sighed, looked at Hiram and said, "Hiram, your mom called me today and told me about

everything.

If you and Rachel still love each other, then your relationship won't be affected even if Lydia did

something wrong! Both your mom and I think of Rachel as our daughter-in-law. Even if you've really

gotten divorced, just remarry. Lydia won't bother you again!

Am I right, Lydia?"This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Gavin asked, patting his daughter's shoulder.

Hearing what Gavin said, a trace of anger crossed Lydia's eyes, but she nodded immediately and

promised, "Sure, Dad, I won't do anything to hurt Hiram and Rachel. I'll stay here and take care of you.

Hiram, trust me, please!"

Hiram glanced at them, and then turned his head away and said, "Dad, have a good rest, I'm going to

the company to handle some business."

With that, he turned around and left.

The head office of Streams Company was located here. Hiram usually solved business problems

through video conferences, but since he was here, he had to visit the company in person.

Watching Hiram disappear from sight, Lydia thought to herself, 'He doesn't want to stay with me for a

little longer. Is his business that important?

Am I so disgusting?'

"Come on, Lydia, stop thinking about it, " Gavin said. "Take a good rest. You'll attend the competition

tomorrow, won't you?" Gavin gave her shoulder a squeeze, trying to comfort her.

But although he looked relaxed, he felt upset inside.

Since Hiram had been their only child, Gavin and Joanna had hoped to have a clever and considerate

daughter to accompany them when Hiram wasn't at home, which was why they adopted Lydia. They

hadn't expected such things to happen.

It was difficult to persuade Lydia to leave Hiram. She was crazy in love with him.

At the beginning, when Hiram was reluctant to get married, they had thought that if Lydia wanted to

marry him, they could go ahead with it.

But after Hiram met Rachel, things changed.

Although Hiram had been calm and independent since he was a child, he had developed a lot of

affection for Rachel, and he seemed to be really serious about her.

On the other hand, there was no sign that Lydia would quit pursuing Hiram. Such a messy relationship

only gave the elders a headache.

"Yes, Dad! Could you please persuade my brother to come watch the competition with you tomorrow?"

Lydia asked, looking at Gavin with anticipation in her eyes.

"Er..." Gavin was stumped. Of course he would manage to find the time to go, but he couldn't decide for

Hiram. Instead, he said, "Of course I'll come tomorrow. My Lydia, you will be the most beautiful girl on

stage!"

The flame of hope in her eyes dying, Lydia took a deep breath and lowered her head. She pleaded,

"Dad, Hiram hasn't seen me dancing for a long time. Now that he's finally here in time for a

performance, help me persuade him to come, please!"

Gavin sighed. "Let me try, okay?" he asked.

Lydia nodded in excitement and said, "Thank you, Dad! You're the best!"

"Ha-ha, little girl, go back to your room and have a good rest now, so that you'll feel fresh and do well in

the competition tomorrow!" Gavin looked at her tenderly with loving eyes.

After all, Lydia had lived with them for so many years that he thought of her as his own daughter. He

loved her from the bottom of his heart.

The next morning, at Streams Company...

In the chairman's office, Gavin looked at Hiram, who was sitting in front of the table and holding a few

files in his hands, and said in earnest, "Hiram, Lydia is participating in a ballet competition this evening.

Will you accompany me to watch?"

Hiram signed several papers and handed them to him. "Dad, please sign these files."

"Oh." Gavin put on his glasses, took a pen and signed on the files under the title of board of directors.

"So, will you go with me?" He then asked. "You rarely come here, and this time, your sister is really

excited about the competition. Don't let her down, do me a favor!"

"Dad, have you ever thought about what I should do if Lydia does anything to hurt Rachel again?"

Hiram asked, picking up the files.

Gavin hesitated for a while, then shook his head and answered, "She can't, it's impossible. She has

already agreed to stay in the U.S. and she won't go back home without your permission, so how can

she do anything to hurt Rachel?"

"Really? Dad, you may have raised Lydia for many years and even taken her as your own daughter,

but Rachel is my wife, your daughter-in-law, and the mother of your future grandson. I hope you'll be

fair if something has to be decided, "

Hiram said, then he stood up with the files and prepared to leave.

"Wait, " Gavin said. "Is there any news about the matter I asked you to investigate?"
