My Mute Bride

Chapter 396 Misunderstanding

Rachel had to back down when she saw Jolly’s temper flaring yet again. “Fine. I’ll go, alright, Your Highness?” “You’re not being forced to.”

“No, I’m not.” Rachel immediately got up. “Let’s go now.” Jolly took advantage of the situation but played naive about it. Before leaving, she even said to Justin, “President Burton, you’re free anyway, so remember to wash the bowls cleanly.”

Justin’s expression was blank as he cleaned up the bowls and cutleries on the table before bringing them into the kitchen.

Rachel held Jolly back for a moment. “What are you doing?”

“I was just reminding him. What’s the matter?”

“Are you ordering a servant around?”

“Why? Do you feel bad for him?”

“Are you done? If you continue being like this, I won’t leave with you. I’ll go back and wash the dishes instead.”

Only then did Jolly behave.

It was already dark as the group of people walked through the alleys of the old town, colorful lights hanging above their heads, which made the two children ecstatic.

Victor bought lamps for the two children to carry.

“Mommy, my lamp is a rabbit!”

“Mine is a tiger!”

“The rabbit is super cute!”

“Tigers are powerful!”

“The rabbit is better. It looks nicer.”

“The tiger is better. Tigers are fierce.”

Charlotte and Samuel argued about which animal lamp was better while the adults watched in amusement.

“Children’s happiness seems to be that simple.” Gloria and Rachel walked side by side, watching the two children jumping in front of them with a smile. “Miss Rachel, do you think you were happier as a child?”

“It was okay. They’re all different experiences.”
