My mute bride novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 125

Chapter 125

Rachel moved straight back to Nancy’s place without bringing much with her. When Nancy saw her coming back with all her luggage, she immediately realized that something was wrong. “Why are you moving back suddenly, Rachel? Did something happen?”

However, Rachel gave her no response. She washed her hands as she stood in the bathroom, rubbing soap on her palms again and again as if to wash something away.

“Are you trying to worry me to death, Rachel? If you keep doing this, I’ll give Dr. Peters a call.”

Suddenly, the woman came to her senses and stopped Nancy. Let’s move away from Riverdale, Grandma.

Nancy looked dumbfounded and stunned upon hearing this.

The next day, Victor put the suitcases into the trunk before clapping the dust off his hands. “Remember to give me a call when you and Madam Tiller arrive at the new place, Rachel. Tell me your address, and I’ll go to visit you two when I’m free.”

Rachel forced a smile while pointing at his unkempt blond hair. A student should behave like a student. Dyeing your hair back to black would suit you better, you know.

Victor scratched his head. “I’ll keep that in mind.” As the car slowly drove away from the neighborhood, he ran after the car, waved his hand, and shouted, “You have to call me, Rachel! I’ll definitely dye my hair black when I see you next time!”

The car soon disappeared at the neighborhood’s entrance, and Victor walked back in dejection. There were still some belongings in Nancy’s apartment, all of which Rachel had given to him.

As soon as Victor reached the entrance to the apartment building, he bumped into someone in a moment of inattention. “Hey!” The lady’s shrill voice was somewhat harsh to the ear. He frowned in displeasure and looked back, only to see a young lady hopping backward on crutches. Turns out that she’s a cripple, he thought to himself.

The lady glared at Victor. “Are you blind? Why don’t you watch where you’re going?”

Victor was miffed in the first place, so the lady’s words enraged him even more. He snapped, “Who are you accusing of being blind? Don’t you know how to speak properly?”

“What’s wrong with you? You look like an undesirable person. Are you really a resident of this neighborhood? Are you here to steal things?” Gloria asked. Suddenly, she realized something and immediately reached into her pocket. “Where’s my cell phone?”

“Me? Steal things?” Victor’s face was livid with rage. “Are you here to fake an accident to blackmail me?”

“Just you wait! If I can’t find my cell phone, it means you’re the one who stole it! It was still here just now! Stay where you are!” Gloria fumbled about for a while before suddenly finding her cell phone in her trouser pocket.

Upon seeing the change in her expression, Victor let out a sneer. “Well? Aren’t you going to call the police? Do you want me to lend you my cell phone if you don’t have one?”

Gloria looked embarrassed.

Victor shot her a disdainful look before turning around and going upstairs. It just isn’t my day today! he thought to himself. After going upstairs, he took out his keys and unlocked the door. Just as he was about to close the door, an arm suddenly stopped him. “Hey! Wait a minute!”

Victor flew into a rage when he saw that it was the lady from just now. “Are you done yet? Why are you following me to my house?”

“Your house? Is this your house?”

“Surely this isn’t your house even if it isn’t mine, right?”

Gloria was startled for a moment. She then muttered, “I must have remembered it wrongly. Didn’t Frankie say that Rachel and her grandmother live in Unit 201?”

Victor was about to close the door at first, but he paused upon hearing Gloria’s words. “Are you looking for Rachel?”

“Do you know her?” Gloria’s eyes lit up.

Victor sized her up warily and asked, “What’s your relationship with her?”

“Me?” Gloria thought it over for a moment. “You may consider me her sister-in-law.”
