My Mute Bride

Chapter 389 Karma Transmigration

It rained heavily outside the window, and the raindrops beat the leaves of the sycamore trees on the streets of Riverdale to pieces. There was a constant stream of people in the English restaurant. The restaurant’s atmosphere was undoubtedly much more lively and boisterous than a French restaurant.

“The fish and chips here are good; Charlotte and Samuel like them very much,” Justin said. As he spoke, he poured a cup of tea for Rachel. “After dinner, I’ll order a takeaway for two fish and chips, and you can take them back for the children.”

“You still think about the little gluttonous duo?”

“In the past, I was too busy and spent too little time with Charlotte. If you are busy in the future, you can leave both children to me. Then, you can pick them up when you are not busy.”

These words sounded inexplicably unpleasant.

Rachel’s eyes darkened slightly. “Regarding things in Burton Group, is Robin still giving you a hard time after Julian took over? Why don’t I talk to Julian?”

“There’s no need for that. Robin didn’t make things difficult for me. In fact, after Julian took over, it was a lot easier on me. I even took a month’s leave, and no one has urged me to return.”

Justin pretended that everything was fine. Rachel took his words at face value and actually let out a breath of relief.

“That’s good. I told you things would still be the same even after Julian took over. He’s your own family, after all. At the very least, he won’t let a man like Robin show off his authority.”

Justin didn’t answer; instead, he gave her the fish and chips and urged, “Eat more.”

After Julian joined Burton Group, Robin really stopped putting pressure on me. In other words, I have no pressure in Burton Group now because I have nothing to do. The moment someone overruns my work, it also means my authority has been overridden. Even so, I can understand everything Julian has done. If it were me, I would have done the same myself. Why? Because I’m the biggest threat.

“Did Charlotte cause any trouble during the days I’ve been gone?”

“Most of the time, she’s very well-behaved. But if you really want to know, you should attend the parent-teacher conference for her when the time comes. There was no huge trouble, but there were many small issues. For example, she was having many disputes with her classmates.”

“Let Victor be strict with her. She has never been in contact with her peers since she was a child, so she is used to being self-centered.”

Rachel was a little surprised.

“What’s wrong?”

As he saw her looking at him in astonishment, he asked, “Is there something on my face?”

After that, she immediately came back to her senses. “No, I’m just a little surprised. Didn’t you always think that it’s not a bad thing for Charlotte to be self-centered?”

“If she’s too self-centered, she’ll be vulnerable toward setbacks in the future. I can’t accompany her for the rest of my life.”

“Yeah, that’s true. Don’t worry. She’s alright.”
