My Mute Bride

Chapter 352 It Was Me Who Wronged You First

Rachel took a bottle of drinking water from the fridge. From across the breakfast bar in the kitchen, she saw Justin waiting in the living room.

Charlotte seemed unwilling to talk to the man as she played with her Lego pieces on her own. “This piece is supposed to be here.”

Charlotte knocked Justin’s hand off before it could touch the Lego pieces. “I like to put it here!” She looked high and mighty. “I’ll put it wherever I like! What does that have to do with you?”

Rachel immediately came out with the bottle of water. “Charlotte! You’re not supposed to speak like that!”

“These are my Lego pieces!”

“These are the Lego pieces that your dad bought for you.”

Charlotte was instantly stumped by Rachel’s words.

The atmosphere turned awkward all at once. Most of the toys in the apartment had been sent by Justin. Even though the lawsuit had gotten very ugly, Justin didn’t seem to take it to heart, and he had the toys delivered every now and then.

Seeing Rachel knitting her brows as though she was going to give Charlotte a lecture, Justin immediately tried to ease the situation, saying, “It’s alright. They’re Charlotte’s.”

Suddenly, Charlotte pushed over the half-finished Lego model with a crash and got up from the carpet. She said angrily, “I’m giving them back to you! This is my home! Who let you in?”

Justin was stunned.

“Charlotte!” Rachel scowled at once. “Who taught you to speak like that? Apologize to your dad!”

“Why should I apologize? I didn’t do anything wrong!”

“You…” Rachel was speechless with anger. That’s why I’d say this girl inherited Justin’s temperament. She’s damn stubborn and doesn’t easily change her beliefs. To think that she had never mentioned a word about Justin since the lawsuit ended!
