My Mute Bride

Chapter 267 We Have All the Evidence

Soon, night enveloped the summer villa. As Justin had expected, the family dinner had already ended when he arrived. Just as he was about to enter, he heard Julian and Sue talking inside.

“Julian, you aren’t young anymore. It’s time to start a family. You’ve met the Harper Family’s second daughter once. Her appearance, education, and personality are very good. She excels in all aspects.”

“Mom, I’m very busy. I don’t have time to date.”

“What are you talking about? No matter how busy you are, you have to get married, don’t you?”

“Your mother is right, Julian. If Coraline doesn’t fit your tastes, I’ll get someone to find someone else for you. You should meet her too and settle this important matter so that your mother can finally be at peace.”

“Grandpa, you don’t need to worry about this. I know what to do.”

“What do you know about?” Sue’s expression suddenly darkened. She accused, “I know what you’re thinking. You’re still thinking about that little mute girl, aren’t you? You’ve been bewitched by her!”

“Mom!” Julian frowned in displeasure, his expression changing as well. “Please mind your language. How could you call her a little mute girl?”

“She was mute in the first place. If I knew that you’ve been treating her abroad all these years, I wouldn’t have let you go back then.”

Irritated by Sue’s cold words, Julian stood up and said, “Grandpa, I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll be leaving.”

Arthur nodded slightly. Although he cared about Julian, Julian was not a child of the Burton Family, and it was not easy to intervene in matters involving Rachel. In fact, he hoped that Julian could get together with Rachel to save himself the trouble.

“Julian!” Sue chased after Julian in an attempt to stop him, but the mother and son unexpectedly bumped head-on into Justin who had just entered.

“Justin.” Sue’s face paled a little when she saw Justin. “When did you arrive?”

Julian greeted him indifferently. “Hey, Justin.”

Justin said, “I just reached a while ago. What’s wrong, Aunt Sue? Are you trying to get Julian a girlfriend?”
