My mute bride novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 295

Chapter 295

“You really are Victor!” Gloria suddenly became so excited that she went after him to touch his hair.

“Hey, why are you behaving differently now from when you were on stage?”

“Victor, stand right there! Let me see your hair!”

“What? This is my real hair. Don’t pull it!” Then, he continued to roar, Gloria! Gloria Hochmann! I’ll be mad if you continue to pull my hair!”

The two of them had run far off. Jolly removed her sunglasses and asked Rachel a question while the corner of her lips twitched. “Are we going to just let them be? Are we going to turn a blind eye when our Piano Prodigy pulls on a teacher’s hair like a crazy woman?”

Rachel smiled and nodded. “They have always acted like this.”

Hernandez snatched Charlotte’s water gun from behind and spritzed water at them with Charlotte hot on his tail. “Are you guys just going to stand around? Let’s play!”

Jolly, who was wet because of him, screamed at him, “Hernandez, are you out of your mind? Can’t you aim properly and shoot in that direction?”

“Not a problem. Everyone will have a fair share of it!”

The next second, he squirted water at Justin’s face. Justin’s expression had already been gloomy earlier, but it now seemed thunderous when he had water dripping from his hair.

“Come on!” Hernandez hopped around like a grasshopper, provoking Justin with his words. “Why are you still standing there? Come after me!”

An irritated Justin wiped the water off his face and furiously charged at Hernandez, who immediately ran off without forgetting to spritz water at Justin again. Hernandez fled because he knew that he was no match for Justin after being in an unfavorable situation once.

As he ran, he squirted water at everyone on the way.

Jolly, Rachel and Victor were not spared; their faces were all dripping wet because of that.

“Hernandez!!!!” Jolly, who could no longer hold back her anger, adjusted her hat and went after Hernandez to land her blow on him.

“Curly Weirdo! Return the water gun to me!” Charlotte chased after him as well.

“Charlotte!” Rachel, who was afraid that Charlotte would be injured, went after the group.

On the other hand, Victor had somehow joined in as well and just like that, the group of people were in a game of tag.

Gathering could always allow people to temporarily forget their usual positions and disputes and focus on what was currently happening. All of them were relaxed as they indulged in the current excitement.

At the high-altitude semi-enclosed slide of the Water World, rows of people were being pushed down from the platform. The screams of the people echoed in the air along with the sound of water splashing.

“No, I can’t do this…” Gloria kept on stepping backward. “I can’t. I really can’t.”

As it was a rare sight to see Gloria actually afraid of something, Victor grabbed her hand without giving her any chance to reject. “There’s nothing to be afraid of. I’ll go with you.”

“I can’t! I really can’t!”

“Let’s go!”

With that, he pushed her onto the inflatable tube while she screamed at the top of her lungs, “Ah! I can’t do this! Let me get off!”

“Let’s go! Here we go!”

He pressed on her shoulder and waved at the employee. The next second, the inflatable tube was pushed down the slide.

“Ah!!!! Victor Wade, I’m going to kill you!”

Gloria’s tragic cries made Rachel take a few steps back. “I’ll skip this since it’s a little too high. You guys can go ahead.”

“What’s there to be afraid of? I’ll go down with you.” Hernandez held her hand. “Don’t be scared.”

Before Rachel even managed to reject his offer, Justin pressed his hand on Hernandez and warned with his cold gaze. “She has already said that she doesn’t want to play, so let go of her.”

“Release your grip first!” Hernandez hissed and inhaled sharply. “Let go of me!”

Justin was unfazed by him.

“What are they doing?”

He replied, “I wanted to tell you that Jason won’t be a good business partner. He does things unscrupulously and uses underhanded means. You will get involved in his schemes if you are not careful enough. It won’t benefit you whatsoever.”

“Don’t tell me that you never used all these underhanded means when you were doing business.”

“That’s another story. The Burton Group is a large company and I’m his nephew. No matter how ruthless his methods are, he won’t betray the Burton Group for the sake of the family. However, it’ll be a different case for you; he even thought of killing you before this.”

“There’s no enemy that lasts forever. Everyone can become friends when there’s a benefit.”

“You have made up your mind to work with him, haven’t you?”

“Yes.” Rachel’s reply was simple, yet it reflected her adamant attitude.

With a deep frown between his brows, Justin remained quiet for a moment before he acknowledged, “If you have made up your mind to work with Jason, I hope that you can inform me whenever you are going to collaborate with him. This is to ensure your safety.”

She was stunned by his words. “Inform you?”

“I can at least help you to gauge the chances of Jason doing something fishy in the business so that you can reduce the risk.”

“Why are you helping me to this extent? He’s still your uncle.”

Justin suddenly paused in his tracks; a complex expression apparent on his cold face under the bright sun.

“What’s wrong?” Rachel turned to him.

“You are the person whom I love.”

She was shocked.

“You are not only Charlotte’s mother but also my lover. I will take responsibility for your safety.”

Amidst the sound of the waves and people, Rachel was certain that she didn’t hear him wrong. The man before her had looked into her eyes when he said those words-it was a sincere confession of love.

Seeing that she was as still as a statue, Justin held her hand. “Rae.”
