My Mute Bride

Chapter 368 Have Fun Together

Meanwhile, Gloria was putting Charlotte to sleep in the apartment. She gently patted Charlotte’s chest and read aloud, “In the end, the little rabbit found its mother and the family lived happily together…”

Generally, during the storytelling, Charlotte would have fallen asleep before the end of the story. But today, her eyes were still wide open even after Gloria had finished telling the story.

“Aunt Gloria, why isn’t Mommy coming to pick me up yet?” Charlotte wondered.

“Oh sweetie, it is the weekend, so your mom might be still at work. However, tomorrow is a school day, so she will definitely pick you up after school,” Gloria assured her.

Charlotte thought about her parents, and said, “Mommy and Daddy had a fight because Samuel was lost. Daddy is an idiot.”

“No, don’t say that. It wasn’t easy for your dad either,” Gloria explained to her patiently.

Just then, Gloria heard the sound of the front door opening. Consequently, she tucked Charlotte in bed and whispered in a soft tone, “Alright sweetheart, why don’t you put yourself to sleep now? Auntie still has work to do.”

“Mmm.” Charlotte nodded obediently and closed her eyes.

After shutting the door behind her, Gloria found Justin settling himself on the couch. “Are you here to pick Charlotte up?” she asked.

“No. Let her stay here with you for another night.” Justin held his forehead with a tired look, and said wearily, “I still have some family matters to be settled. If Rachel is coming to pick her up, I will be here.”

“Why don’t you make things clear to Rachel? You did not lose Samuel on purpose, and no one had anticipated Old Mr. Burton to be hospitalized overnight,” Gloria suggested.

Last night, Arthur was hospitalized with a sudden cerebral infarction, and it happened at that time when Samuel went missing. As a result, Justin had to attend to both matters simultaneously, and he hadn’t been able to catch some sleep since then.

In the meantime, staff from the technical department was reaching the highest turnover rate. If this turmoil went on, Burton Group
