My Mute Bride

Chapter 298 How She Gained a Sense of Security

“I’m sorry.” Justin suddenly apologized to Rachel, which startled her. “Why are you apologizing to me?” “If I was by your side at that time—”

“It’s useless.” She shrugged her shoulders, looking relaxed. “There are some things in life that you just have to experience yourself. It’s no use to rely on others.”

Ever since she was a kid, this was how Nancy had taught her to gain a sense of security by herself. When she was being alienated at school, she did her best in her studies and graduated with flying colors.

When she was being oppressed in the workplace, she did her best to gain a promotion as fast as possible. “If I had done nothing at that time and waited for someone to save me, I would have been doomed long ago.” Rachel revealed a soothing smile, but in Justin’s eyes, it was a little hard to bear for him.

“Chris!” Jolly’s voice was heard from afar. “Come over here!”

“I’m coming.” Rachel jumped from the rock and walked two steps toward them before looking back to wave the grilled fish at Justin. “It tastes a bit bland. Remember to sprinkle more cumin on it next time.”

Suddenly, his stern face softened as he couldn’t help but smile.

Meanwhile, Gloria asked Victor, “When Miss Rachel left 5 years ago, why did you disappear?”

“Miss Janice told me to leave Riverdale so that I wouldn’t be targeted by some people.” He flipped the lamb skewer and stared at Justin in the distance. “It wouldn’t be nice if I was killed and silenced.”

“What are you talking about? No matter how insane he became, he wouldn’t actually kill someone.”

“He wouldn’t do it to you,” Victor noted angrily. “As for us, he wouldn’t have that much patience.”

Gloria didn’t know what else to say. “You’re going to overcook the lamb, you know.”

“It’s not ready yet. Do you really want to eat raw meat? Go and get some cumin. Rachel loves to eat those.”

“You only know what she wants.” Gloria rolled her eyes at him. Even though she had said no, she still quickly headed off to get the condiments.

Victor was the only one left in front of the barbecue grill.
