Such a Rude and Noisy Woman

Chapter 227 Display Of Affection

"Do you feel better now?" Hiram asked, as he scooped up a spoon of soup and brought it closer to

Shirley's lips.

Overwhelmed, Shirley surpassed the notion of opening her mouth, and instead, stared at him in an

absent-minded manner.

"Yes, thank you. I feel much better! Apparently, women tend to feel sick during the first trimester of

pregnancy. After that, however, it will get better," Shirley replied, after she opened her mouth to swallow

the soup.

Hiram scooped out another spoon slowly and said," Here you go. Thank you for doing this for me."

Gazing at his enchanting eyes, Shirley felt extremely proud that she was carrying Hiram's baby.

"No! I am the one that should be thankful. You know, I'm very lucky to bear your baby," murmured

Shirley.

As Shirley enjoyed a sweet moment with Hiram, they suddenly noticed a noise at the door.

"What are you doing, Hiram?" Rachel exclaimed.

Standing at the door, Rachel displayed a faded look towards Hiram feeding Shirley. Heartbroken, she

bit her lip forcefully.

"Can't you see what I'm up to now? I don't hide anything from you. It's my baby, and it's innocent. Even NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

if Shirley wasn't suppose to do this, we can't change the truth here. Taking care of the mother of my

baby is the right thing to do." Hiram said.

Instead of looking at Rachel, he continued to feed Shirley soup.

On the other hand, Shirley felt like her dream came true and she couldn't help but grab his hand.

"Thank you, Hiram. Thank you for supporting me. I promise to do everything I can to make sure the

baby gets delivered safe and sound."

"Don't become too excited. As long as you give birth to our baby, I won't kick you out of my life. I

promise. After all, you're his mother," Hiram said. He glanced at Shirley's hands, which were placed

firmly on his, as he tried very hard not to show his true feelings.

"Hiram, darling, you know what you're talking about, right?" Rachel shouted.

Hurt and furious, she rushed over to them and knocked the soup bowl out of his hand, which fell on the

ground. Staring at her husband, she continued with distraught," I never expected you to say that. If

Shirley stays with you after she gives birth to the baby, then what about me? Are you planning on

divorcing me?"

"Of course not! You don't understand, honey. You're my wife now and forever. This baby is a bastard,

and no other baby will take the place of our baby. The baby you give birth to in the future will be the

one and only rightful heir of our family. There's no need to worry!" Hiram replied.

He stood up and walked over to Rachel, grabbing hold of her hands in the attempt to comfort her.

Rachel glanced at Shirley who was subtly lying on the bed. Her anger didn't diminish straight away.

"But, what if the bastard baby fights for the family's wealth! I don't think this is fair for my future children.

What do you think?" she asked.

"Trust me, honey. Our son will be the first heir in order, and that won't ever change. I'll write up a will

that ensures that all of my wealth belongs to our kid. As for Shirley, I believe she wants nothing but a

baby that has my genes, and this is why she made me endure this trouble. So, there's nothing to worry

about," Hiram explained.

He patted Rachel on her shoulders before turning to Shirley, and proceeded to ask," Am I right about

you, Shirley?"

Shirley was stunned at what they said and nodded her head stiffly.

'What? My son won't receive a penny when Hiram closes his eyes? All of his wealth will be designated

into the pockets of that bitch's children?

Then, what's the purpose of my insisting on giving birth to my baby here?' she said in her mind.

"You're so sweet, honey! I love you. Here is the deal. Shirley can give birth to this baby, but she must

leave after the delivery. She can get married to somebody else, but you are forbidden to see her

again," Rachel said briskly, as she pouted her lips.

Hiram nodded and said," Okay, deal! After she delivers the baby, I'll find a husband for her, the baby

will stay with us, and you'll be his mother."

Rachel thought his suggestion over for a second. After she grabbed hold of his arm, she agreed," Fine,

deal."

"Excuse me now, as I would like to talk to my son," she said and pushed Hiram away before sitting

down on Shirley's bed.

"Shirley, you must take care of yourself. You don't want my son to starve now, do you?" Rachel said

and she placed her hand on Shirley's belly, touching it softly, before turning towards Hiram," Have you

thought of a name yet?"

"Not yet. You're his mother, and it's up to you." Hiram glanced at Rachel fondly, and with a bright smile.

Rachel seemed unaware about the pale look on Shirley's face, and continued to gaze at her belly. She

continued," What about the name Jonny? I've been thinking about what to name my future kids ever

since I was a little girl. If it's a boy, may we call him Jonny?"

With a serious look on her face, she shifted her eyes to Hiram.

Hiram nodded and replied pleasantly," That will do. Jonny is a good name."

At that very moment, Shirley shouted abruptly. 'My son! It's my son! How dare you!

Why should you name my son as you like? Why!' Of course, they couldn't hear her.

"Oh, god! You scared me. What do you mean, Shirley? Take it easy. I warn you not to hurt my son, or I

won't let you go easily!" Rachel shouted as she pretended to be serious about it.

Breaking out in laughter, Hiram held Rachel's hand and pulled her up. "Okay, honey, I think Shirley's

tired now. Shall we go downstairs? Time for dinner!"

They left Shirley's room hand in hand and continued to walk outside.

Hiram kissed Rachel on her cheek passionately, and said," Honey, listen, I think Jonny is a good name,

but let's reserve it for our own son in the future."

They proceeded downstairs in each others' arms, to the dining hall.

As they expected, Shirley was pissed off and threw anything she could find on the ground. Her face

was as pale as a ghost.

"What a bitch! How dare you, Rachel!" Shirley shouted desperately.

"What makes you think that my son will ever call you his mom? Are you insane? FUCK!

You're really contemplating taking away my son! Even though he's not born yet? Stop daydreaming!

It isn't yours! It's mine! No, it's Hiram's baby! Fuck off! You won't dare ever to take him away from me!"

Dinner was served, as everyone took their seats. It was rather strange that Shirley, who had always

requested her meals to be taken to her room, came downstairs.

"Are you okay, Shirley? Are you sure you have enough energy to walk around? I remember you said

you had to stay in bed." Joanna asked, surprised to see Shirley coming down from her room.

She gestured Amy to help Shirley sit down in front of the dining table.

"I'm fine, Auntie Joanna, thank you. I'm bored, and I've been staying in my room for the past few days."

Shirley said as she took a seat, glancing at Hiram and Rachel, who were sitting opposite her.

"Hmm, Hiram. I want to...no...the baby wants to eat the small streamed buns from the restaurant at

North Street in town. Could you please send someone to buy them for me? I'll take them as a midnight

snack later." Shirley asked unexpectedly.

Hiram raised his eyes at her. As he examined her question, Shirley reverted her eyes subconsciously,

lacking in self-confidence.

"Okay, I'll ask the housekeeper to buy them for you," Hiram answered swiftly.

Biting her chopsticks, Rachel laid her eyes on this woman, who was so arrogant, and sneered before

shifting her focus back to her dinner.

Shirley let out a sigh of relief upon Hiram's reply, and then looked back at Rachel before picking up her

chopsticks to eat.

"The crabs seem great, Hiram! However, it sure does require a lot of trouble to eat it." Rachel said to

Hiram as she stared at the big delicious crabs on the table. She wanted to taste it, but was not

prepared to endure the trouble.

Hiram took a crab in his hands and started opening it for Rachel. He placed the crab on her plate, one

piece after the other, leaving the shells in his plate.

"You're so sweet, honey!" Rachel laughed contently, but she put her plate in front of Joanna, instead of

taking it, and said," Mom, please enjoy! You shall taste it first."

Joanna looked at Rachel with a smile, and thought her daughter-in-law was as sweet as ever. "Okay,

thank you, Rachel. Hiram, please do me a favor and open another one for your dear wife!"

Hiram had already taken another crab in his hands before his mother asked.

Seeing that they talked to each other cheerfully, Shirley couldn't do anything but watch them eat, for

pregnant women were not allowed to eat crabs, as they might harm the baby.

Busy with her crab, Rachel didn't forget to exclaim," It's getting late, Hiram. How about we stay here

tonight? I've got so many things to catch up with mom."

"It's up to you. You're the boss!" Hiram said as he carefully placed a portion of stemmed eggplant,

infused with minced garlic, on Rachel's plate, which had always been one of her favorite dishes.
