The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 263

Chapter 263

Rachel sharply turned around with a start. “Why are you here?” she asked, before suddenly realizing something. “Were you the one who set off the fireworks?”

“Do you like them? Samuel said you like to watch fireworks very much. The conditions here are limited, so please make do with it for now. Once we go down the mountain and get back to Riverdale, I’ll take you guys to

-”

“What the hell do you want?” Rachel interrupted Justin before the latter could finish his sentence. Staring at him with a look of displeasure, she said, “You’ve been following me around for so many days. What on earth do you want?”

“Don’t you know what I want?” Justin went a step closer. “If you don’t know about that, I can repeat it.”

Rachel instinctively stepped back. “I’m not interested in playing this kind of love game with you. Charlotte, are you done?” she shouted toward the grass, but nobody answered her.

Justin said, “Charlotte has gone back.”

“How could you even use a kid?”

“No, I’m not the one who used her. Don’t forget about Samuel. He’s your son, not mine.” The initially frosty expression on Justin’s handsome face was obscured by the moonlight as he stared at Rachel. “Rachel!” He grabbed her arm. “Please listen to me before you leave.”

Rachel frowned. “Let go of me.”

“Listen to me.”

While neither of them refused to budge, Rachel caught sight of the two kids hiding in the distance from the corner of her eye. They were hiding behind the grass, but they cast two long shadows on the ground as the moonlight shone on them. In consideration of the two kids, she reluctantly replied, “I’ll listen to you. Let go of me first.”

Justin let go of her. “I know you hate me. At first, I didn’t understand why, but I slowly learned about what I’d done to you in the past. I can understand it now. No matter for whose sake or for what you came back and approached me, no matter what you’ve promised Grandpa, I can understand it. No matter what you want, I’ll give it to you as long as I can. After all, I owed you a lot five years ago. If you mind the fact that I’ve forgotten many things, I’ll receive treatment to recall everything that I’ve forgotten. I’m not asking you to accept me

right away, but I hope that you can get along peacefully with me.”

“Are you done talking?” Rachel looked at the man quietly.

Justin was startled. “Yeah.”

“Since you’re done talking. I’m leaving.” Rachel said. Then, she walked past him and headed straight toward the campsite.

Stunned, Justin stood frozen in place. His confession, which he considered sincere, was worth nothing in Rachel’s eyes. After all, words could never speak louder than actions. He had done so many things to hurt Rachel back then, so how could he possibly gain forgiveness with just a few hollow words?

Just as he was stunned, he suddenly heard a scream behind him. “Ah! What are you doing?”

Justin came to his senses at once.

Rachel had just left and was walking along the path when two hefty men popped up from nowhere and stopped her. She asked, “Who are you?”

The two men weren’t of a sturdy build, and it was obvious from the peaked caps and the black face masks they were wearing that they didn’t want to be recognized. With one of them standing in front of Rachel and the other standing behind her, they stopped her and prevented her from leaving. Then, one of them drew out a

knife from behind him, and the knife gleamed with chilliness in the moonlight.

Rachel staggered and fell. As she was in a panic, she couldn’t muster any strength. Instead, she could only struggle to back away, and she couldn’t be bothered to react to the pain when the stones on the ground rubbed against her hands. “Don’t come over! I can give you two however much money you want.”
