The Silent Wife

Chapter 100

Chapter 100

Meanwhile, at the basement carpark, after Rachel got into her car, the safety belt wouldn’t budge even after she tugged at it a few times. Drained of energy, she slowly slumped onto the steering wheel while thinking, Ten years… How many decades does a person have in his lifetime?

Earlier, when she watched how brilliantly Gloria seemed to be shining while surrounded by the children, she felt a sense of shame forming in herself for the first time in her life. That girl was so perfect, and she carried a sense of cheerfulness and brightness which was completely different from herself.

Honk! The sound of her car honk echoed through the parking garage as she accidentally leaned on it. It was so loud that it shocked her and jolted her back to her senses violently.

What am I thinking about? she asked herself. / still haven’t avenged my mother, and I’m being sorrowful for no reason over here.

After she cleared her mind, she remembered Justin’s words from dinner earlier, and she drafted a text message before sending it to Jefferey. Then, she drove out of the parking garage.

Under the late evening lights, Riverdale appeared to be especially lively. However, Jefferey had been staring at the text on his cell phone for a long time with an incredibly sullen face.

“I’m home, Dad!” Amber announced from behind him and hugged him around his neck from the back after coming into the house. “Daddy, I saw a bag I really like today. Will you please buy it for me?”

After yanking her hand away, he scolded, “What else can you do besides buying handbags?”

His cold voice boomed through the living room, startling Amber. “What’s the problern?”

“Let me ask you this. Where did you get the information about the tender?”

“It’s… from Justin’s car.”

“And he let you take it so easily?” The expression on Jefferey’s face darkened. “I should have known that you won’t be of much help with that intelligence of yours. Great, instead of being any real help, you’ve pushed me into the fire pit and someone else now has something he can use to threaten.”

Never been chided so angrily by Jefferey before, Amber whimpered, “What happened exactly, Daddy?”
