The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 419

“What do you want, then?” “I told you that I have no money for food. Lend me a hundred bucks, only a hundred. I’ll definitely pay you back, but just give me your contact details.”

Holding the car door tightly and refusing to release it, the girl appeared as though she wouldn’t leave if Justin didn’t give her the money. On the other hand, Justin had seen at least a thousand, if not more, pick-up lines, but it was his first time encountering something like this..

He suddenly released his hand without the girl realizing and while she was still pulling the car door. Staggering backward, she then fell on her bum before she shrieked, “Ah, you!” Placing a hand on the top of the car, he said int an aloof manner, ‘I don’t care what you’re up to, but it’s not going to work with me. Go home quickly.”

After saying that, he pulled the car door close again as he got into the car without even glancing at her one more time. In the car, he sent a message to Rachel. ‘Are you coming home for dinner? There will be fish today!

He quickly received a reply. I’m not sure because I have some things to take care of Okay, take care of it, then!” Putting his phone away, he then started the car and slowly rolled the car out of the basement garage with his hands on the steering wheel.

Moments after he drove out of the garage and made a turn into the street, a figure dashed out. in front of him out of the blue and it caused him to react with lightning speed by immediately slamming the brakes.

The sharp screeching sounds of the brakes echoed through the street and the ground was smoking from the friction with the tires. However, before anything else could be done, the figure who dashed out fell down and he quickly got down to check the situation. Soon, people started to gather at the spot. “What happened?”

“Someone was knocked down by a car.”

“It’s a young girl.” “Quickly call the ambulance!” The moment he got out of the car, Justin saw a person lying in front of his car and it was the young girl who stopped him in the garage. She was now sprawled on the floor motionlessly, as though she was dead.

“Hey… Justin uttered, shaking her shoulder, but there was no response from her. “Get up quickly. I didn’t hit you at all.” When she didn’t move an inch, he said, “I’m leaving if you’re not getting up.”

Still, there was nothing from the girl, and the crowd was starting to build up. It was early winter and the ground was cold. This girl was only wearing a sweater and a skirt, baring her thighs. Even if she didn’t suffer any injuries from the hit, she would freeze if she continued to lay on the floor.

Any regular person would take pity on her, but he wasn’t a regular person. Seeing that the girl was still pretending, he decided to get into the car. Without further ado, he started the car and reversed, leaving the ignorant people to point their fingers and criticize him. Criticisms?

He had never been afraid of criticisms. Hearing the sound of the engine dying away in the distance, the girl on the floor scrambled to her feet and gritted her teeth at the back of the car which had driven away. Shakily, she fished. out her phone. ‘Hello, is this the emergency rescue?”

Meanwhile, Justin drove straight home and picked up the children from school while he was on the way. During this period of time when he was living here, he had picked up the role of the nanny by himself.

“Daddy, what are we eating today?” A fully excited Charlotte hung around at the bar counter and watched as Justin prepared the ingredients.

Ever since Justin moved here, she looked forward to having dinner together as a family the most everyday. It was full of life and even Jolly was with them, making it more lively than living in the villa in the past.

“It’s fish!” Poking the water through the transparent bag, Samuel watched the fish in the bag. “And it’s still alive!” “Yes, we’ll be having fish,’ Justin answered.

Immediately, Samuel sulked. ‘I don’t like fish. There’s too many bones and it will get stuck.” A baffled Charlotte gawked with rounded and curious eyes. “Why would fishes have bones?” “All fishes have bones! Jolly let me have fish once. My throat was bleeding because I choked on the bones and even went to the hospital.”

“That’s scary! But the fish I had didn’t have bones!”
