The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 400

Chapter 400 The Car Accident Was Intentional

“Leroy, you drove too recklessly. How did you crash into the railing?” Gloria brought the conversation back on track with a simple sentence in the living room.

Leroy answered, “I didn’t crash into it on my own. A car slammed into me from behind.” “What?!” Jolly exclaimed. “Then, why didn’t you just say so?” “I didn’t want to make it such a big deal.”

“How could this happen? In other words, someone hit you, then committed a hit and run? They didn’t even care about your situation?”

Jolly was rather furious. “We must report this person to the police and get them to make an arrest!”

With that, she took out her phone to call the police.

Leroy stopped her. “Jolly, forget it.”

“What are you doing? Why can’t I call the police?”

Leroy was at a loss.

The two of them were at a stalemate, so Julian helped to mediate the situation. “Jolly, Leroy is a public figure. Once you call the police, this will probably be trending news. Although the other party hit and ran, they may have been scared and didn’t really intend to harm him. If this becomes trending news and his fans stalk the driver, it would ruin their life.”

“That’s what they deserve!”

Although the words that escaped Jolly’s mouth were harsh, she silently put the phone away, then sat down in a huff. “Lucky for them. How does a person like that sleep well at night?”

Leroy hurriedly coaxed her, “They must not be able to sleep. Their conscience would haunt them.”

When he spoke, he gave Julian a nod as a show of gratitude.

It was late at night, so everyone had supper, chatted for a while, and then retired to their rooms.

After taking a shower, Jolly came out and saw Leroy sitting by the window, seemingly in a daze.

“What’s the matter?”

Leroy recovered. “It’s nothing. I just think it’s weird.”

“What’s weird?”

“The car that hit me today did it from behind. So, it stands to reason that this wouldn’t happen if I didn’t hit the brakes.”

The speed limit on the mountain road wasn’t high, and Leroy wasn’t driving fast either. He pretty much drove at a uniform speed. Even if he turned a corner, he would slow down, and it wasn’t to the extent that the car behind him would have no time to react.

“I feel that the car didn’t rear-end me because they didn’t realize, but it seemed they accelerated instead.”

“Accelerated?” Jolly frowned. “Do you think someone did this on purpose?”

“Yeah.”

Leroy nodded slightly, staring at the mountain view outside the window with a complicated expression.

Early the next morning, Rachel hadn’t woken up yet, but she was awakened by a little hand pinching her nose.

She opened her eyes and saw Charlotte and Samuel lying on her bed, where Charlotte was pinching her nose. “Mommy, if you don’t get up, the sun will toast your butt!”

Rachel rolled over in a daze. “What time is it?”

She looked at the alarm clock and found that it was only after 6.00AM, so the sun had just risen on the mountainside.

These two cheeky ones.

“Aren’t you two sleepy?”

“Nope. Daddy is making breakfast.”

“What?” Rachel sat up in surprise. “He’s making breakfast?”

Samuel nodded affirmatively. “Yeah. Don’t you know he can cook breakfast?”

Rachel was indeed surprised.

After all, Justin used to be a person who could ruin noodles and burn the kitchen just by frying eggs.

“I’m going to take a look.”

She was afraid that Justin would blow up the kitchen of the homestay and cause them a lot of trouble.

At this moment, the range hood in the kitchen was humming noisily.

Justin was frying ham, an apron tied around his waist. Several plates were on the island behind him, along with toasted bread, and a milky aroma filled the entire place.

Rachel opened the blue curtain and walked in. As soon as she entered, she could smell the fragrance.

“You really are making breakfast.”

“Why are you up?” Justin glanced at her in surprise. “Did Charlotte wake you?”
