The Silent Wife

Chapter 190

Rachel answered, “Don’t worry. It’s only temporary.”

“I’m not. He lost his memories, so he doesn’t remember you.” Julian looked at Charlotte. “I’m just worried you might stick around for Charlotte in the end.”

Rachel stopped patting Charlotte’s back for a moment and hugged her tighter. Back then, she couldn’t even bring herself to look at the child after she was born, but now that Charlotte was in her arms again, it would be hard for Rachel to leave her behind again. “We’ll see how this goes.” Rachel tensed up. “Let’s finish what we started out first for now.” People died because of him. They need justice to be served.

Julian said, “Don’t just shoulder everything on your own. I’m always here.”

“Yeah, I know.”

Once she came to Justin’s place, Rachel sent Charlotte to her room before she went to crack the code of the safe box. There were too many possible combinations, since it was a six-number passcode. She stared at it for the longest time and tried two different ones, but they were incorrect. I only have one chance left. What will it be?

All of a sudden, she heard someone coming, and she panicked. She immediately closed the cabinet, but she couldn’t get out in time.

Justin came in a moment later. He went to the company just to take some documents, and he came back right afterward. As per his orders, Frankie looked into Rachel’s life overseas. He found everything he could, though Justin didn’t read it until now.

Before that night, he thought he was uninterested in his ex-wife, whom he was unfamiliar with. But when he heard Julian talking like he was Rachel’s boyfriend, Justin changed his mind, albeit inexplicably.

The next moment, the bathroom door slid open, and Justin was taken aback. “Why are you here?”

Rachel was drying her hair. When she met his gaze, she explained, “My bedroom’s bathroom is busted, so I used yours. You’re back early.”
