The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 238

Chapter 238

The kiss came about quite unexpectedly and Rachel couldn’t react fast enough before she was pushed onto the genuine silk bed sheets. The only sound she could hear at the moment was the noise of the rustling of clothes by her ears.

Just as his huge palm traveled down her waist and moved downward, she suddenly came to her senses.

Suddenly, Justin was pushed aside by Rachel and his back knocked against the bed frame. Instantly, he grunted in pain and stared at her.

“I’m sorry. Did I jolt your injury?”

Even though she expressed concern with her words, that two steps backward that she took was in fact her most truthful reaction. It was hard to ignore her body’s instinctive rejection and wariness.

Just then, Justin’s expression darkened slightly. “I was too presumptuous.”

At that moment, the atmosphere surrounding them became quite tense and it seemed as if the air had turned quite still. Both of them were at a loss for what to do.

“I’ll go downstairs to prepare dinner. You should get some rest.” With that, Rachel fled the room.

Meanwhile, Justin frowned upon hearing the door shut behind her. He was slightly frustrated but mostly downcast.

Suddenly, his cell phone by the side vibrated and he glanced at the screen. As soon as he saw the name on the caller ID, he revealed an impatient look and tapped on the reject call sign.

However, the person on the other end was relentless and made three consecutive phone calls to him. Just as he was about to block that number, a text message notification popped up with a loud’ping’.

Justin, you’ve been tricked. Rachel’s back here not because of work or for her child. It’s because of you. She’s here to seek revenge for Hans.

Justin’s eyes narrowed upon seeing the name ‘Hans’ and somehow, the name sounded quite familiar to him. He seemed to have heard of this name from somewhere.

A few seconds later, he placed a phone call to Amber’s number.

“Justin! You’re finally taking my call.”

“Who’s Hans?”

Meanwhile, Rachel popped into the washroom as soon as she reached the ground floor. Rinsing her mouth

several times, she tried hard to dispel the provocative feelings surrounding her. She faced the mirror and rubbed her lips as if by doing so, she would be able to rub off the kiss from earlier on.

In the end, she stayed in the washroom for quite some time before coming out to prepare dinner. The Burton Family had a cook tasked to prepare meals so she didn’t have to do much.

“Miss Hudson, I’ve made three dishes. Is there anything else you would like to have?”

Before Rachel could reply, Samuel ran over from the living room and said, “Mommy, I want spaghetti for dinner!”

Meanwhile, Charlotte had never tried that before so she chimed in, “I want that too!”

Just then, Rachel smiled and asked the cook, “Is there any minced meat?”

“Yes, there is.”

“Anything goes.”

“I’ll make you some spaghetti then. Both Samuel and Charlotte enjoyed it very much.” After she said that, she went downstairs and prepared it before serving it to him.

“Enjoy it while it’s warm.”

The fragrant smell of spaghetti filled the bedroom but Justin didn’t even make a move to eat. “Just leave it there.”

“The spaghetti can’t be left for too long. The texture won’t be as nice.”

She didn’t get a response from him, so she followed his gaze and noticed the documents in his hand. It was a takeover proposal and from a glance, it seemed to be quite important. However, he should still be able to spare some time to take his meals despite his busy schedule.

Truth be told, Rachel had sensed that Justin seemed to be in a bad mood when she had come upstairs earlier.

“Okay, then. I’ll leave you to your work.” Rachel took a little pillow and shoved it between his back and the couch. She carefully avoided the area with stitches on his back. “You can lean on this. It’ll be much more comfortable this way.”

Just then, Justin was slightly taken aback.

“I’ll go out now.”
