The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 406

 

After they left the mountain, Gloria sent Rachel and the two children home. “Rachel, you can come to me anytime if you need anything.” “Okay. Be careful, and let me know when you get home.”

 

As Gloria’s car left, Rachel held Charlotte in one hand and waved her other hand at Samuel. “Come on. Let’s go home.”

Samuel had been asleep, so he was rather out of it. Nevertheless, he staggered forward and took Rachel’s hand as they entered the elevator together. As soon as she got home and put the two children to bed, Rachel received a call from Julian.

 

“Are you home yet?” “I’m home. Did you send them all back?” Rachel leaned on the marble table in the kitchen as she was going to drink some water. “Yeah, I just sent Victor home. By the way, why are Victor and Gloria arguing again?”

“This is a misunderstanding, and it’s a long story.”

“I’m driving back, so I have time to listen to you.” Rachel smiled. “It’s actually nothing, but remember the ring that was at Victor’s place before? Charlotte and Samuel saw it, and when the two children came back and told us, Gloria heard it and misunderstood, thinking it was Victor who wanted to propose to her.”

“So that’s what happened. Then, I am also responsible for this matter.” “How are you responsible for it? It’s just a misunderstanding. The two of them are still young. They’ll be mad at each other for two days before making up again.”

“You make it sound like we’re all getting old.” “We’re not too young either.” Rachel sighed. “It’s been so many years.” “It’s still early now. How about we grab dinner together?”

“I can’t today. Both children are asleep. I don’t feel comfortable leaving them at home by themselves.” There was silence on the other end of the phone.

‘Rach, am I putting too much pressure on you?” Julian said, “I know it’ll be a while until you really accept me, but since you are willing to give me this opportunity, I will cherish it.”

Rachel was slightly startled. “Don’t overthink this. The two children are truly sleeping, so let’s have dinner together tomorrow night, if you have the time?”

“That sounds good.” After hanging up the phone, Rachel picked up. the cup next to her. She had just picked it up before immediately putting it down, and she opened the refrigerator door and took out a can of beer.

Pssh… She opened the can, and white foam emerged. Rachel took a sip, feeling frustrated for no reason. At this time, Julian was driving. His slightly gloomy face was reflected in the rearview mirror of the car.

“Hello? It’s me.” A female voice came from the other end of the phone. “Are you all not back from Triburg Valley yet?” “We left in the afternoon and just arrived int Riverdale. Didn’t he come back in the morning? Didn’t you see him?”

“He didn’t come back.”

When he heard this, Julian frowned slightly. “Wait a little longer. He will have to go back eventually.” “It’s okay. I’ve been waiting for so many years. But what about you-is there any good news on your side?”

“Everything has gone accordingly.”

“Really? Then I’ll have to congratulate you.”

“That’s good news for you too.”

“Of course.” At this time, the other party in Julian’s call was located at the Burton Family’s summer villa. As night fell, the mist in the mountains gradually spread out, covering the entire summer villa.

Due to the approaching winter, the fog grew. thicker as time passed by. The sound of a car engine sounded from outside. Ginny lifted the curtains, glanced into the distance, then said lowly, “That should be him coming back, so I’m ending the call.”

She hung up the phone and straightened her clothes and hair in front of the mirror. She was dressed in a luxurious silk sleeveless dress, and she gracefully walked downstairs.

Justin got out of the car and walked into the house while buttoning up his suit. Just as he was about to enter the study, he heard a voice coming from upstairs.
