The Silent Wife

Chapter 171

Chapter 171

In the summer villa, the Burtons were seated at the dining table for a meal, and Justin came back holding Charlotte in his arms. Seeing his return, Sue stood up and greeted, “Justin, you must be exhausted after the long trip. Here, let me hold you, Charlotte. Don’t cling on to Daddy.”

“No!” Charlotte said, jerking her face away as she tightened her arms around Justin’s neck.

“Take a seat, Aunt Sue. I’ll hold her,” Justin said calmly.

“Forget it, Madam Parham,” Amber said. “This girl wants nobody but Justin.“

“What a spoiled little girl. You’re still so clingy to your daddy. Looks like we’ll need to get you a mommy soon,” Sue said thoughtfully. Then, she held Amber’s hand and added, “It’s about time we fix the date for your wedding with Justin.”

Amber blushed, and Arthur nodded in agreement. “That’s true. We should pick a date for the wedding. After all, Amber has been by your side for so many years. What do you think, Justin?”

Justin was expressionless. “Whatever you say, Grandpa.”

“Me too,” Amber added.

“Then, we’ll ask Amber’s father out for a meal one day and speak about the details of the wedding.”

Right after the words left Arthur’s lips, a scream of surprise echoed from Justin’s arms. “Ah!”

“What happened?” Justin asked, concerned.

“Daddy, my leg hurts! It’s so painful!” Charlotte cried, her face crumpling in pain.

“Why is your leg hurting all of a sudden?” Sue asked and wanted to take a look at her leg, but she covered it firmly and refused to show it to her.

Crying loudly, Charlotte forced out two drops of tears from the corners of her eyes. “Oww! It hurts so much!”

Heartbroken, Justin asked, “Did you fall in the airport earlier? I’m bringing her to the hospital for a checkup.”

“But we haven’t even discussed the wedding yet,” Sue pointed out anxiously, but she quickly changed the topic. “I mean, Justin, you just came back and haven’t even had a bite yet.”
