Hearing Fannie's words, Rachel sat up straight. She knew she had to give her mom an explanation now. She stopped smiling and lowered her head. "We had a big fight the other day and decided to separate for a couple of days to calm down, " she lied.
She had made up this story earlier when wondering what to say in case her mom kept asking about her relationship with Hiram. It would make sense if she said they had had a big fight and couldn't reach an agreement.
"A fight? Why did you two fight with each other? There must be a reason. Cheer up and tell mom the whole thing." Fannie was relaxed after hearing Rachel's words. All couples quarreled, it wasn't a big deal.
Rachel couldn't reply right away. She had prepared several reasons but all of them seemed so faint now. Her mom wasn't an easy woman to convince.
She had to find a reason strong enough that her mom wouldn't doubt it. But what could make Rachel stay in XH Village half a month without leaving, and without calling or mentioning Hiram?
What was the reason?
What was the reason...
Suddenly, an idea came to her.
But
Would it be weird to tell her mom about things that happened between Hiram and her in the bedroom?
Meanwhile, Rachel's silence was driving Fannie crazy. She kept tapping the table in front of her while staring at Rachel's serious face. Why was it taking so long for her to answer? Or maybe something had happened between Hiram and Rachel, just like she had always worried. Maybe it was hard for them to overcome some difficulties and they had decided to separate.
"My dear, did Hiram and you...?" Fannie asked, unable to wait any longer.
"Mom! No kid wants to talk about their secrets with their parents. But since you insist, I'll tell you." Rachel had made up her mind, but it was still really hard to talk about such things with her mother. She felt strangely embarrassed.
But if she didn't say something convincing, Fannie would definitely keep asking until the truth came out.
"What is it? Come on, my dear."
Fannie decided to get to the bottom of the matter. She couldn't understand why they would quarrel with each other. What made her sweet daughter put herself in such a position? Her mother-in-law was easy to get along with, their family was well-off, and above all, Hiram was good to her and respected her. What on earth was the reason? Why?
