The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 199

With an innocent look on his face, the little boy held the receptionist’s hand as they went into the elevator. Sweetly, he said, “Miss, this building is so tall!”

“Yes, it is. The company’s pharmaceutical branch is on this floor, which is where your mom is,” she replied patiently while pointing at the floor numberings. “The president’s office is on this floor, while the other departments are on the remaining floors.”

Mentally taking note of this, he nodded.

Ding! The elevator had finally reached the floor where Rachel’s office was.

“I’ll go in on my own. Thank you!”

“No, worries, kiddo. Look for me if you have any problems, alright?”

Then, she patted his head before turning to enter the elevator again.

As soon as the elevator went down, he stood on his toes and pressed the button to go upstairs. After that, he entered the next elevator and headed to the floor where the receptionist said his dad would be.

Meanwhile, Charlotte sat down in Rachel’s office and opened her laptop to watch some cartoons.

The door to the office was not shut properly, so she could hear the two workers gossiping from their workstations nearby.

Just as she jumped off the chair to close the door, she froze when she overheard what they were discussing.

“Does Mr. Burton really have a son?”

“I heard him say it himself at the press conference yesterday. Why would he lie?”

“I also saw the news. Are those things online about Amber true? Is she really Rachel’s sister? Did she steal Mr. Burton from Rachel?”

Upon hearing this, Charlotte stayed silent.

In the meantime, Justin was in a morning meeting in the boardroom.

Suddenly, Gloria rushed in after knocking on the door and whispered into Frankie’s ears. Right after, he followed her out of the room.

As Justin listened to the business proposal, he looked outside the glass window to find a child standing in between Frankie and Gloria, who were speaking to each other.

He frowned.

After saying a few words, Frankie pulled Samuel to a quiet corner and asked Gloria, “How did he get in?”

“I don’t know. He was already standing right in front of me when I looked up.”

“Why did you bring him here then? Don’t you know where this is? ”

“Oh, stop making a fuss, Mr. Beckham. Look at him. He’s clearly Mr. Burton’s son. I’ve seen the news. Where should I bring him to, if not to Mr. Burton?”

For a moment, Frankie could not find the right words to explain who Samuel actually was.

Just then, a voice sounded from behind. “What’s the matter?”

Frankie turned his head and saw Justin.

“Mr. Burton…”

Then, Justin raised his hand. Understanding what he meant, Frankie and Gloria left.

Finally, when there was no one around, Samuel batted his eyes at Justin before asking in a sweet but clear voice, “Are you Justin Burton?”

“I am. You’re looking for me?”

“Yes, I’m here to see you.”

From his pocket, Samuel took his phone and unlocked the screen to show Justin. “I saw yesterday’s news.”

Shown on the screen was a photo of Justin at the press conference yesterday.

“So? You came here to acknowledge me as your dad?”

Samuel shook his head. “No. I’m here to thank you for helping Mommy yesterday.”

As he was speaking, he took out an exquisite gift box from his little ducky schoolbag. “This is for you. I bought it with the pocket money I saved for a very long time.”
