The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 308

Chapter 308

“Miss Rachel, what’s wrong?” Gloria was puzzled after noticing that Rachel seemed to have spaced out.

Rachel retracted her gaze from the window and replied, “Nothing.”

“Miss Rachel, have you eaten? I was about to take them out to eat.”

Her question reminded Rachel of the mushy noodles that Justin had made, which made her laugh in her heart. “I have sort of eaten, but I can tag along. It may be hard for you to care for two children.”

“Alright, let’s invite Jolly too.”

“Since when are the two of you so close with each other?”

“We shouldn’t mix things up. Although our standings are different, it doesn’t stop us from being friends,” Gloria answered with a raised brow.

Rachel understood what Gloria meant by ‘standings’ without having to ask. In Rachel’s opinion, the ‘standings’ was merely a childish game because who she chose to be with had completely depended on her own willingness. It wasn’t something that those two could change with a word or two.

“Charlotte, Samuel, let’s go.” Rachel waved at the two kids before she walked out of the room. However, after barely taking a few steps out, Gloria suddenly stopped her. “Miss Rachel.”

“What’s the matter?”

“Shhh-“Gloria raised her right hand to place her index finger at her lips to gesture at Rachel to be quiet.

When Rachel followed Gloria’s gaze, she saw a shadow around the corner of the staircase.

Her pupils contracted because it meant that she was right. It wasn’t an illusion; someone was indeed spying on them in secret.

Gloria reached into her bag as she carefully inched toward the corner of the staircase.

Perhaps due to the sudden silence in the air, the stalker seemed to have realized something and the shadow on the floor then started to move.

“Ahhhh!”

She shrieked and aimed her pepper spray at the person’s face.

The man cried in agony as he covered his face and bent over.

Without any hesitation, Gloria pounded the man with her purse. “Serve you right, you stalker and pervert! Pervert! Pervert!”

Rachel initially intended to help out, but before she managed to come closer to them, the man had already been subdued by Gloria.

At that moment, the man’s face was covered in bruises and it looked staggering. Rachel carried her two kids and pressed the back of their heads against her body. The scene had escalated to a level of violence that was inappropriate for young children to watch.

Soon, the man collapsed on the ground and tragically cried. Gloria stepped on his back with her high heels and directly called the police. “I’ve come across perverts like you. I’m calling the police now!”

“No, don’t call the police! This is all but a misunderstanding!”

“Misunderstanding, you say? My foot!”

She stepped harder, to which he let out a miserable cry again. “I know that you are trying to stall for time. Just

forget about it!”

As she spoke, the call went through.

“Hello, I want to make a police report. I have caught a perverted stalker here! The address is Music Room No. 2 at Lily Avenue.”

As they were at the city center, the police officers in charge of Lily Avenue soon arrived at the scene.

The group of people then escorted the terribly beaten ‘perverted stalker’ to the police station to have their statements recorded.

“Officer, I’m innocent. I didn’t stalk them; I was just passing by.”

“Passing by? I saw you lurking around outside the music room two days ago.”

“I really happened to pass by.”

Rachel, who was seated at one side, watched as Gloria argued with the ‘stalker’; she vaguely felt that the man seemed familiar, but she couldn’t recall where she had seen him before.

The said man was rather handsome and dressed in a formal suit; he looked nothing like a pervert.
