The Silent Wife

Chapter 204

Chapter 204

Before Rachel could say anything, Jolly rolled her eyes at Justin. “I invited him to this trip. What if both of us defenseless women bump into someone or get into trouble up on the mountains? We’ll need a man to help us.”

Immediately, Justin frowned. “Am I not one?”

“Well, who knew you were coming?”

Trying to mediate the dispute between them, Rachel cut in, “Alright, you guys. It’s getting late. Let’s go quickly while the weather’s not hot.” As she spoke, she walked toward Julian. “Hurry up and come down, Samuel. You’re too heavy.”

“He’s not.” Julian grinned as he handed her a bottle of water. “Here, drink some water.”

“Aww… Juice made out of love?” Jolly jeered, “Only Rachel gets a drink and I don’t.”

Glancing at her, Julian replied, “I have more in my car. I’ll get some for you.”

While the three joked around intimately, Justin stood behind and watched. His face turned dark as he felt left out.

“It’s fine. I don’t deserve it. I’ve already gotten used to it abroad.”

Suddenly, a sigh sounded beside them. “Ugh…”

Arms crossed like a little adult, Charlotte shook her head at Justin. “Daddy, I already told you to bring some breakfast, but you refused to listen. Look at that. Somebody else has taken the chance!”

He tensed. “If such trivial matters could win her favor, it need not wait till today.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll help you.” She patted his hand. “Watch me and Samuel later.”

When they reached the entrance to the mountain, Jolly parted ways with the others at the intersection to take the cable car while the rest walked up the mountain.

With that, Jolly went away light-heartedly in her eye-catching wide-brimmed sun hat. Rachel sighed in relief as she didn’t want to be caught walking with Jolly who dressed up as if she was going on holiday to the Maldives. How embarrassing.
