Chapter 362 She Would Become His Enemy (2/2)

“He’s going to marry that woman! She... was my best friend!”

with the fury inside her. She would never forgive him. If this was how he wanted things to be, from this moment, Rachel would sever ties with him and be his enemy.

”Madam,” Charlie said, unaffected with her anger. ”There are eight days left before the hearing. Three days from now, I will send a car here. The moment you get on the car, your mother will walk out of the police station safe and sound. Then both of you can go wherever you want.

Please take the time to make your decision,” he finished.

He bowed before turning around to leave.

Rachel stood rooted to the spot, and closed her eyes slowly.

'Why is Gavin pushing me so hard'? she asked herself, but could not arrive at any answer.

After a while, she went inside.

The twins were playing together happily, but Rachel couldn't manage herself to smile even with her children in front of her. Looking at their faces, she remembered Charlie's words. She knew Gavin wanted her to get on the car first to make sure that she wouldn't take the kids with her after he let her mother go.

He was determined to keep her children away from her.

”Mommy, why are you crying?” Joyce asked worriedly and wiped off the tears on her mother's cheeks with her little hands. Rachel was unaware that her tears had fallen.

She saw her daughter's worried face and felt her heart squeeze. She forced herself to smile and said,”It's nothing, honey. Look, I'm fine!” She picked Joyce up in her arms. ”I'm just wondering how time flies so fast. You and your bother are growing before I could notice it,” she said.

Joyce's big eyes stared into her own with all the seriousness of a child. ”Mommy, you're crying because you're worrying that I'll leave you when I grow up and get married, right?” she asked, her brows furrowed. It was something she saw on TV. Mothers get sad when their daughters leave them.

Rachel smiled at her and said,”Mommy is just moved to tears with your sweetness.”

”Mommy, you don't have to worry! I promise. I promise that I'll never leave you and Daddy and Jonny. We will stay together forever. So you don't have to cry.” Joyce patted Rachel's cheeks. Seeing her daughter made Rachel remember her earlier visit to her mother. She closed her eyes as tears started to well up in her eyes and hugged her daughter tight. She understood perfectly what her mother felt. She could endure anything. Anything, if it meant this precious person in her arms would be happy.

As Rachel was holding Joyce, the door suddenly opened.

Hiram came in and was startled with the scene he arrived at.

”What happened? Why are you crying, honey?” he asked, looking at her face.
