My Mute Bride

Chapter 390 Stop Having Illusions

Rachel and Julian took the elevator to the underground garage together. Suddenly, he said, “It’s raining heavily outside, so don’t drive your car for the time being. I’ll send you home.”

As he said that, he walked ahead on his own. She looked at his back and halted her tracks. “Julian, let’s talk.” His figure froze slightly.

He parked the white car in the garage corner with the windows closed. Although it was late fall and not hot, the air in the vehicle was stuffy.

Rachel frowned as she sat in the passenger seat. “Julian, I want to know what you are doing.”

“I’m worried about your safety when it rains. So what’s wrong with me picking you up?”

Rachel looked at Justin incredulously as she heard his response. “I said I can go back by myself. I’m an adult, not a child. It’s just raining.”

“Are you blaming me for being meddlesome?”

“Julian, do you have to talk like this?”

“How do I talk?”

“Sarcastic and bitter!”

The words echoed firmly in the car.

She had always been blunt with her words, especially with her friends. She silently looked at the man in the driver’s seat, who she considered her best friend of the opposite gender besides Hans. If anything, Julian could be regarded as her benefactor.

Meanwhile, he also looked back at her. His usual warm eyes were filled with suppressed emotions at this moment. Finally, after a long time, he took a deep breath and said, “Rach, I’m sorry. I apologize. Today was my fault. I did something wrong. I’ve been in a bad mood recently. Let’s not talk about this, okay?”

All of a sudden, she felt a sense of unspeakable suffocation. I would rather he quarrel with me now than reluctantly apologize.
