The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 482

Rachel almost slammed on the brakes as she gripped the wheel, rounding the large curve on the highway to the airport.

The car pulled up at the entrance to the terminal as Rachel gave Jolly a warning glare. “You seem to be complaining about me not treating Samuel as my biological son just moments ago, but now you’re proposing a marriage for my own son and my own daughter?”

Jolly blinked. “I’m just saying.” Rachel glared at her. “Do you know the correct term for this idea of yours?”

“What is it?”

“It’s incest!” In Rachel’s eyes, Samuel and Charlotte were like siblings, so Jolly’s idea was too dangerous. Jolly still wanted to argue that the two weren’t related by blood, but a figure had already emerged from the terminal, luggage in hand.

When Rachel caught sight of it, she instantly undid her seatbelt and went out of the car to welcome the person. Jolly could only swallow her words. Then, she turned around to look at the children, then couldn’t help but take another photo.

They look perfect for each other. Is it bad for childhood friends to get together? With Gloria in the car, on the way home, the children woke up.

“I want strawberry chocolate.”

Charlotte enthusiastically hugged Gloria’s arm as she waited for Gloria to open the packaging of the chocolate she had brought back.

Jolly looked at Charlotte as if the latter were her future daughter-in-law. “Charlotte, you have to share the good things you get. So why don’t you ask Aunt Gloria to give half of your chocolates to Samuel?”

“No.” Charlotte immediately shook her head, disregarding Jolly’s advice. Jolly frowned and looked at Rachel with a complicated expression.

With just a look from Jolly, Rachel knew what she was thinking. Jolly probably thought that with Charlotte’s stubborn personality, Samuel would definitely be at a disadvantage if the two really got married to each other. She was Samuel’s biological mother, after all. Hence, she wouldn’t want her son to face injustice.

“You should just give up.” Rachel averted her gaze, her expression calm. “They both have strong personalities, so they should just terrorize other people’s children. Why would we put our own children against each other?”

Jolly nodded thoughtfully. “You have a point.” Both Charlotte and Samuel were self-centered children, so anyone who got together with them would be in for a ride. They were truly suited to terrorize other children.

Meanwhile, in the backseat, Charlotte and Samuel were arguing about which chocolate tasted better, strawberry or rum. The mothers in front didn’t realize that Charlotte refused to give Samuel the chocolate not because of selfishness but simply because she knew that Samuel didn’t like strawberry chocolate.

Halfway through their journey, Gloria asked, “I couldn’t get in contact with my brother all this while. What’s he up to?”

Perhaps because she became more mature after her marriage, Gloria changed how she referred to Justin from the usual ‘Justin’ to a more respectful ‘brother.’

Jolly was also curious. “Yes, why didn’t Justin come along?” Rachel frowned a little, but her voice remained calm. “He should be at Burton Group right now.”

There were rarely companies like Hudson Group, which would finish up the yearly meetings just a few days before the new year, hence giving all the employees an extra day off for the new year. Most companies would hold their yearly meetings on this day, and Burton Group was no exception.

Justin was still a member of Burton Group, even though he had sold a part of his shares and transferred some under Charlotte’s name. On paper, he was still the general manager of the branch. This was an ‘illusion’ Julian maintained for the public eye.

However, no one thought that Justin would attend the year end general meeting today, including Julian. “What are you doing here?”

In the office, Julian was having a private conversation with Justin. The general meeting in the meeting room opposite them was put on hold, and through the windows, Julian and Justin could see the shareholders discussing among themselves. Justin said, “I’m here to make a deal with you.”

“A deal? Between you and me?”
