Such a Rude and Noisy Woman
Chapter 9 Two Contracts
Hiram furrowed his eyebrows looking at the 'recovering' lady who seemed to enjoy having fun. He was holding two documents and smashed them on the desk beside her bed.
"Contracts."
"Oh!" Without hesitation, Rachel grabbed a pen and signed the documents. She was still watching the TV show..
"Are you sure you're gonna sign these?"
Hiram's face immediately turned dreary. He pressed the TV button and turned the TV off. He grunted and coldly looked at Rachel.
"What?!"
Rachel didn't really check the documents until now. She looked at what was written on the top of the documents and unbelievably asked him, "Marriage contract?"
She thought those were from the hospital. As most of the time she stayed in the hospital on her own, the hospital always sent her documents to confirm and sign.
Hiram looked at her speechlessly and sat on the couch.
Rachel put the pen back with grudge. She looked at him and said, "So...you want me to sign these or not? If you want me to sign these, I will do it. But If you don't, then I won't sign these too. It really depends on you", placing herself at his mercy.
She thought that this contract was favorable for her. However, he still had the last word.
Sitting cross-legged, Hiram re-positioned his wrist watch and looked at Rachel, who wore bandages in the bed. His mood was hard to tell. "Rachel, I underestimate you."
"What... What do you mean?" Rachel blinked her eyes and confusingly looked at him.
"I know you have been looking forward to be my wife. You asked your mother to fix our marriage while also pretending to be innocent. You are pretty good at acting!"
His fingers lightly touched his watch. Though he uttered his words gently, every word seemed to be very painful.
"Acting? Seriously? You think I am acting?" Rachel glared at him. She didn't understand why he looked at her that way.
"Aren't you? If you didn't ask your mother to persuade my mom, she shouldn't be so aggressive about the marriage. There should be no way my mom will force me to marry you today!"
"And now, you got yourself injured so I will be forced to marry you. I know you planned all of these."
Hiram lifted his head. His frightful eyes were like swords - stabbing her unprepared.
Rachel took a deep breath and slowly closed her eyes. She opened her eyes again and mocked him.
She reached out for the marriage contracts. She discarded all the pain and tore the documents with her lips.
