My Mute Bride

Chapter 265 An Embarrassing Match

Victor could only speak against his will in front of the girl. “I was just joking. Are you angry, Charlotte?” Charlotte replied, “This joke isn’t funny at all, Mr. Wade. If you speak of my dad like this again, I’m really going to get angry!”

“Okay, I won’t say that anymore,” Victor replied helplessly. After Charlotte went far away to cheer Samuel on, he said to Rachel, “The only good thing Justin has done is to take pretty good care of Charlotte.”

Rachel was startled; she seemed to think of something. “She’s his daughter, after all.”

“But I feel that it might be better for Charlotte to be with you.”

“Did Jolly say something to you?” Rachel asked. Jolly would sometimes pick the kids up at school, so Victor had talked to her quite a number of times as Charlotte and Samuel’s homeroom teacher. Because of Rachel, the two soon warmed to each other.

Victor replied, “Rachel, I think you’re justified in wanting to take Charlotte away. No matter what you do, I’ll always side with you.”

Rachel was lost in thought before her eyes were drawn to the race in the distance.

All the teams set out after the referee blew the whistle.

Justin nearly tripped Samuel as soon as he took a big stride forward. “Ouch!” Samuel hugged the man’s thigh right away. “You idiot! I almost fell to my death!”

“Isn’t that because you have short legs?”

Samuel’s face turned livid with anger. “I’m a kid!”

“We’re gonna lose if you keep arguing with me.”

“We’ve lost already!” Samuel rolled his eyes at Justin while standing where he was with his arms folded across his chest. “If I had known this earlier, I’d rather give up on the race than join you. This is so embarrassing.”

The other teams have reached the halfway mark, whereas he and I are still on the starting line, he thought. “Let’s forget it. I don’t want to run the race anymore,” he said while bending down in an attempt to untie the strap that tied his foot to Justin’s.
