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.”

“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?”
