Chapter 187
Julian nodded pensively. “I’ll stand with you no matter what.”
At the same time, Charlotte kept asking Justin to feed her the soup Rachel brought. “Why isn’t Mommy back yet?” Charlotte started throwing a tantrum, apparently running out of patience.
Justin said, “She’ll be back once you finish this.”
“You’re lying, Daddy. She left me because you and Amber made her mad. I don’t wanna see you.”
Justin was still thinking about the report. Mary has taken care of Charlotte for three years, but she betrayed my trust anyway. I can’t let any stranger take care of Charlotte from now on.
The sound of a door opening broke his train of thoughts, and in came Rachel.
“You’re finallyback, Mommy!” Charlotte extended her arms. “Hug.”
“Sure, honey.” Rachel went to her daughter and held the girl in her arms. “How’s the soup?”
“Tasty. Did you make it, Mommy?”
“Yes.”
“I want you to feed me, Mommy.”
“Okay.” Rachel looked at Justin, but he was still immersed in his thoughts, so she coughed. “Give me the bowl.”
Justin snapped out of it and gave her the bowl and ladle. “Where’s Julian?”
Rachel didn’t even look up. “He left. He’s a busy man.”
