My Mute Bride

Chapter 266 My Uncle Wants to Kill You?

“Mommy, the veggies are bitter.” “No, they’re not. Only by eating vegetables will you grow taller with balanced nutrition,” Rachel coaxed Charlotte. “Whoever finishes eating the veggies first will get to eat ice cream when we get home tonight.”

Charlotte’s eyes lit up at Rachel’s words. After whisking the vegetables in her bowl into her mouth in several mouthfuls, she slurred, “I finished my lunch!”

“Slow down when you eat.” Rachel wiped the food off the corner of Charlotte’s mouth. “Have some more of the fish.” “Okay.”

Justin was somewhat lost in thought upon seeing how Rachel looked after the kids. I must have been crazy to divorce this woman five years ago. What kind of benefits can compare to having such a wonderful woman by my side?

Victor waved his hand before Justin’s eyes with a peevish expression. “Hey! Have you had enough of watching her?”

Justin knocked his hand off. “I can watch her for as long as I want to. That’s none of your business!”

“I can place my hand wherever I want to. That’s none of your business too!”

“Picking a quarrel, huh?”

“What’s the matter? You wanna pick a fight?”

Justin raised his eyebrows at once. Just as he was about to put down his lunchbox, he suddenly thought of something and shot a dismissive glance at Victor. “I’m not gonna argue with you. Don’t think about taunting me into fighting with you.” Rachel hates me fighting with other people more than anything else. From today onward, I’ll refrain from using violence unless necessary. “Have some strawberries.” He moved closer to Rachel while putting the washed fruits next to her.

Rachel refused to go along with him, though. She darted a look at the lunchbox in his hand, saying, “You didn’t touch the food at all. Are you dissatisfied with the food here? You’d better go back as early as possible lest you be famished.”

“Who said that? I’m very satisfied with the food.” Fearing that Rachel might not believe him, Justin ate a big mouthful of the food. Then, he praised, “You’re so good at cooking. The food you make smells especially appetizing.”

The industries of the same trade would come up with an endless stream of competitive strategies, so a careless mistake would cause the company to be uprooted.
