My Mute Bride

Chapter 372 Heartless

A week later, Rachel’s foot injury had finally healed.

Early in the morning, Rachel went to Gloria’s residence to pick up Charlotte and Samuel.

Due to her foot injury, she didn’t have time to take care of the two children for the whole week. Jolly was also too busy with the approval of the Northlane project, so both children were entrusted to Gloria.

“Charlotte, your mommy is here to pick you up for school. Go wash up and come have breakfast.”

Gloria shouted outside the bedroom, but there was no response.

“This brat.”

Rachel smiled before uttering, “That little piglet must still be asleep. Samuel, go and wake Charlotte up.”

“Okay!”

As expected, after Samuel went into the bedroom, he dragged Charlotte, who was still in her pajamas and seemingly still in slumber, out to wash up.

When Rachel and Gloria saw them, they exchanged an amused smile.

“Take a seat. Do you want a drink?”

“I’m fine with anything.”

“Is coffee okay?”

“Yeap.”

With that, Gloria brewed a cup of coffee for Rachel.

“You could’ve saved the trouble of coming over. I can send Charlotte to school, and you can pick her up afterward.”

“I came here not just for Charlotte.”

“What else are you here for?”

Rachel blinked her eyes. “I heard Victor made you upset?”

Taken aback by her question, Gloria turned her head to avoid Rachel’s gaze. “Nah. That’s not true.”

“If there’s nothing going on, why would he call me, asking how you’re doing lately? And you didn’t answer his calls either. Even the security guards at the music room aren’t letting him in.”

“That’s because he’s dumb!”
