The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 205

After saying that, Rachel got up and extended her hand to Samuel. Then, she turned to Charlotte to say, “Didn’t you say that you were hungry? Come along with me to the cable car.”

However, Julian, who still hasn’t grasped the situation, insisted, “Let me do it. You rarely have the chance to come out for a walk.”

“It’s okay. Taking the cable car together is the same anyway.”

As soon as Rachel said this, the corner of Charlotte’s mouth twitched as she looked toward Justin intuitively. Softly, Charlotte asked, “Mommy, if we’re to take the cable car together, what about Daddy?”

Immediately, Rachel turned to look at Justin. “Would you like to take the cable car or continue hiking?”

Upon hearing her question, he could feel his temples pulsing. “What do you think?” Surely she did not expect me to hike up the mountain myself while all of them took the cable car, right?

Not long after, they reached the cable car station.

“One cable car can only fit up to three people. You guys will have to split into at least two groups.” The staff pointed at the boarding guidelines while looking at them with a complicated expression. What are two grown men and a woman doing here with two children?

Decisively, Justin instructed, “Julian, you’ll bring Samuel with you while Rachel and I will bring Charlotte with us.”

Immediately, Samuel’s eyes widened. “Why are you separating Mommy and me?” he questioned.

This time, he was clearly unhappy no matter how many times Charlotte tried to wink at him. “I want to sit with Mommy.”

“It’s not a good thing if a boy gets too attached to his mother,” Justin noted expressionlessly.

In response, Samuel snorted and hugged Rachel’s arm tightly.

Just as the two stared at each other, Julian had come back with the tickets. “So, how are we splitting?”

Without waiting for Justin and Samuel to speak, Rachel decided, “I’ll bring the kids along with me. You two will go onto the next cable car together.”

In the cable car, Rachel asked the two children to sit across her quietly, “Don’t move around. We’ll reach soon.”

Gazing out of the window, Charlotte watched as the cable car behind followed closely and sighed. Poor Daddy.

Right then, Justin and Julian sat in the cable car behind Rachel’s. An awkward silence filled the air. Two grown men sitting in such a confined space was already awkward enough. With them being cousins and love rivals only made it worse.

“It’ll be great if Charlotte used her cleverness elsewhere,” Julian broke the silence.

Casually, Justin glanced at Julian. “My daughter doesn’t have to be of great use elsewhere. I’ll be content as long as she’s happy. Besides, I can give her whatever she wants.”

“Including her mother?” Julian stared at Justin coldly. “You’ll give Charlotte whatever she likes, including a mother that she likes, am I right?”

“What are you saying?”

“You’re trying to get close to Rachel just because Charlotte likes her.”

Hearing this, Justin frowned. Then, Julian continued, “It’s good that you’ve forgotten the past, so don’t try to get close to Rae. Actions like hurting someone shouldn’t be done over and over––once is enough.”
