My mute bride novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 175

Chapter 175

Charlotte’s expression changed and she frowned when she said, “I’m not doing it.”

“Charlotte, since it’s going to be a gift for your aunt, then you should be making it yourself. That’s how you show your sincerity,” Rachel said patiently.

“If I do it myself, then what would I need you for? Aren’t all of you here to work for me?”

All of you? When Rachel heard that, she placed the pastry bag down. “I’m done.”

Charlotte’s eyes widened as she stared at Rachel. “What are you doing?”

While taking off her gloves, Rachel said calmly, “I don’t care how accommodating the women who came before were toward your temper, but when it comes to me, you have to prepare your own gift for another person. You can learn if you don’t know how to do it, but if you refuse to participate, I won’t help you with the cookies.”

“You’re not doing it? Then I’ll tell Daddy that you’re mean to me!”

Rachel froze, for she never expected that Charlotte would use this as her weapon. Judging from how confident she sounded, she was sure that this trick had worked wonders everytime.

Just how has Justin been educating her all these years?

After taking off her apron, Rachel said in a huff, “Fine. Tell him just that.”

Charlotte was obviously stunned.

“I’m busy, so I’m leaving now,” Rachel said curtly and walked toward the door.

“I didn’t say you can leave yet!” Charlotte shouted, and Rachel heard her stomping her feet behind her.

As though she hadn’t heard anything, Rachel continued walking without turning back, and just when she was about to reach the door, Charlotte yelled loudly from behind, “I can give it a try!”

Immediately, Rachel stopped in her tracks and turned to look toward the kitchen, only to see Charlotte’s tiny face flushing red with reluctance. It was as if this was the first time she had yielded, and she was highly unwilling to do it.

“I mean, I can give it a try, but I won’t make a lot of it!”

Despite that, Rachel was already relieved. Looks like she can still be corrected.

Then, she passed the pastry bag to Charlotte and stood behind her as she held her hand to teach her. “It’s very simple, actually. Just like how you usually draw, the cookies can be any shape you want it to be.”

In a mechanical and indifferent manner, Charlotte allowed her to move her hand as she pleased.

“Let’s try to draw a baby tortoise. Here, we’ll start with the shell, and then the head…”

After the shape of a tortoise appeared on the baking tray, Charlotte straightened her back and her eyes sparkled. “It’s really a baby tortoise!” she exclaimed in her baby voice that was full of surprise.

“We can even draw a piglet.”

“Okay! My aunt loves piglets!”

This time, Charlotte was very focused, and she followed the movement of her hands with her eyes

carefully.

“Did you learn it? Would you like to try it by yourself?”

“Okay! I’ll give it a try.”

When Charlotte had successfully drawn out a piglet by herself, Rachel stroked her head and complimented her. “You’re great. It looks amazing!”

Charlotte actually appeared a little shy while she was scratching her head. “But why do I think that it looks a little ugly? It’s not as pretty as yours.”
