Such a Rude and Noisy Woman

Chapter 233 Overjoy

"Hiram, you're going be a father!"

When Rachel told him the exciting news, she felt as though she was floating on a cloud, and as if she

could jump in the air with joy.

"Honey! Really? You're not kidding? You're pregnant?" Hiram still wasn't convinced. His eyes were

filled with surprise and utter joy, as he continued to ask her.

"Wait. Put me down, and I'll show you." Before she came over to show him, she especially washed the

pregnancy test stick and put it in her purse, for fear that he didn't believe her. She then realized that it

was a good thing she did that.

Hearing what she had said, Hiram put her down carefully. He saw her take out a pregnancy test stick

from her purse, as she handed it to him. It was the one he bought her yesterday.

He glanced at her and took it. When he unwrapped the packaging yesterday, he read the instructions,

which meant that he knew how to interpret the results of the test. So, when he saw the two clear bars

on the stick, his heart rate suddenly increased. He was over the moon with the realization that he was

about to become a father.

Hiram then pulled her into his arms. Overwhelmed with joy, he kissed her hair. With no trouble putting

his excitement into words, he said,"Oh, Honey!

You're pregnant. It's our baby, and it's none of anyone else's business. Our kid must be protected and

live a happy life at all cost."

Hugging Rachel, he never wanted to let go of her. He hugged her so tightly, that she found it difficult to

breathe. As Hiram continued to hug her, she asked,"Could you perhaps go to the hospital with me? It's

just to double check and confirm the pregnancy with a doctor. When do you have time?"

Hiram pinched her face. He felt nothing but tenderness and love in his heart for his wife. He hadn't

smiled as much as he did in that very moment in the longest time."Of course, I will! There is nothing

more important than this.

Give me a few seconds. I'm going to make an appointment first." He couldn't stop smiling. It filled

Rachel's heart with even more joy than she ever hoped it would. Seeing him happy and being able to

bear his child were extremely important to her.

Staring at his beaming face, she didn't feel worried any longer. She nodded her head, without any

disbelief. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

On their way to a luxury private hospital for women and children in H City after making an appointment

with a doctor, the couple didn't know what to expect. After they arrived just on time for their

appointment, they entered the doctor's office, where they were introduced, and Rachel was told to

make herself comfortable on the examination table.

A female doctor examined Rachel. Reviewing the ultrasound, she smiled as she sat down and

said,"Relax, Mrs. Rong. It won't last long."

Rachel seized Hiram's hand which was resting beside her. Hiram looked at her, grinning. He ignored

his phone, which was vibrating, due to phone calls and messages.

The probe held by the doctor was being moved around on Rachel's belly. Soon, the doctor said with a

surprised tone in her voice,"Mr. and Mrs. Rong, I see two gestational sacs on the monitor. Do you know

what that means? It means that you may be having twins. However, we can't be sure just yet. We'll

have to wait until they grow a little bit bigger."

Hearing what the doctor said, Rachel felt an abundance of joy. She finally had everything she ever

wanted.

She looked at Hiram who shared her excitement. "It would be great. Twins would be great! Then you

won't have to suffer a second time!" He laughed.

After setting up a hospital profile for Rachel, Hiram made a call for two experienced maids. He wanted

to designate them to Rachel in the Tulip Palace. They would look after her and see to her every need.

Hiram didn't go back to work and chose to stay with her for the entire day.

Rachel knew that she would be treated differently and to a higher level than ever before. She was now

considered to be his precious treasure. Hiram's main focus would be on her all the time, wherever she

might go.

Even though she was extremely excited about the baby, or babies as the doctor suggested, she had

made a deal with Hiram that they wouldn't tell anyone else yet. That included Joanna. Rachel was

serious about waiting three months before revealing the big news to their families and friends. They

wanted things to go as smoothly as possible.

The next morning, when Rachel woke up. Confused, she found Hiram still lying next to her. She

immediately nudged him. "Hiram, why haven't you gone to work yet? You received so many phone calls

yesterday. Is it okay for you to miss work?"

Hiram placed his hand on his wife's shoulder and drew her closer into his arms. He replied in a rather

peaceful tone,"Don't worry. I just want to be with you a little while longer. I'll go to work later."

"There will be a lot of time for you to stay with me. The pregnancy generally lasts up to forty weeks. I'm

only at six weeks now, so we still have a lot of time left." Rachel said, lying in his arms. She didn't want

anyone to gossip about him at work. Especially, not because of her. It would break her heart.

Rubbing her hair softly, he responded,"Well, then you should at least be more careful. Don't go out

alone or attempt any strenuous activities, okay? It's important that you look after yourself and keep our

babies safe."

"Well, actually it's no big deal. When my mom was pregnant, she was still working in the fields. She

also cooked, did laundry and all sort of household activities. I'm not a Barbie doll, you know!" Rachel

looked up at him as she continued mumbling.

Hiram slowly opened his eyes, with a slightly amused look on his face. "That was in the old days,

honey. Besides, you are carrying my babies. I won't allow them to suffer the slightest bit!"

Rachel curled her lip. The children of the Rong family were very precious. She knew that her husband

was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.

Hiram looked at the time and quickly reached over to kiss her lips. "I'm getting up. Do you want to get

some more sleep?"

"No, rather not. I feel well rested. Besides, I must go to the studio. I still have quite a bit of work to get

done." Rachel immediately regretted what she had said and looked over at Hiram's expression.

She should have waited for him to leave first. She knew he was about to make a big deal out of it.

Hiram frowned intensely. "You're off to the studio? You're still working? Rachel, what if my babies get

exposed to radiation? I honestly don't think you should go."

Rachel sat up straight and stared at him with a cracked smile on her face. "It's really not as serious as

you think. The majority of women today work until their third trimester. I will only supervise. Celine and

others will do the specific jobs. It's no big deal. Hiram, if you are still worried, I can go shopping for

some radiation-proof clothing this morning. Will that make you feel better?"

Hiram paused for a moment and then said,"Well, if you insist, then get up and go with me. It's on the

way anyway."

Rachel agreed. She got out of bed and washed her face. She also brushed her teeth and rinsed her

mouth. She thought about it. She actually blamed herself for telling him about her pregnancy. If he

didn't know, she would still remain cautious, but not as much as he expected her to be. She knew that

he would be watching her like a hawk.

She understood that she had to keep the news from others, including her own family, but how could

she not tell her husband? No, she had to. It wasn't an option.

Thanks to the unborn baby in her tummy, or unborn babies, she was granted the liberty of taking a free

ride to the studio in Hiram's car.

It was the very first time that Hiram saw Rachel's studio. She only had seven employees.

"Look at this. Not bad. Although, it's only the beginning. You all work very hard, which tells me a lot

about your dedication towards a company. At the moment, I have several small cases that fit your job

descriptions quite well. Why don't you take them over for me?"

Unexpectedly, Hiram didn't only praise his wife's job but also offered long-term support to her

employees, which seemed a bit daunting to Rachel.

"Thank you. We appreciate the offer, but we are doing well on our own." At first, Rachel considered his

suggestion but then decided not to take it. Celine, however, didn't think as she did.

"Rachel, this is a great opportunity. Why don't you accept it? This man is your husband. Not a stranger.

We're all still struggling in some way with our efforts in making a success of the studio. Don't you think

that his suggestion is good for all of us?"

Hiram continued to present them with the opportunity,"I'm not sure whether you can manage them

properly. It all depends on your abilities. It's up to you. I only provide opportunities. You know that."

Rachel nodded slightly, unsure of her decision and responded. "Okay then. It's getting quite late. You'd

better go to work, honey!"

Hiram looked at his watch in a panic as he noticed how late he was. "Okay, I'm leaving. If you have

time, come over and have lunch with me?"

Walking out of Rachel's studio, Hiram glanced at the busy studio opposite to hers. A faint sneer

appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Mr. Rong!"

An engineer who was about to leave the other studio saw Hiram and felt urged to approach him.

Hiram glanced at him and remained silent. He strode down to the exit at a steady pace, ignoring the

engineer.

It took a while for this engineer to recover from the surprise. He continued to walk into the office, where

he had only been working for a couple of days after quitting his previous job. The sudden appearance

of Mr. Rong made him forget what he was supposed to do.

At Streams Company Building.

When the general manager of the company saw Hiram entering the building, he immediately followed

him with a briefing. "Mr. Rong, the Yan Group keeps headhunting employees from our company. Four

engineers have been poached this month alone! They are obviously offering them far better salaries

and benefits than we are, Sir."
