The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 554

The sun was about to set when Rachel and Justin finally returned. From afar, they saw Regina sitting in a wheelchair at the homestay’s entrance craning her neck and looking around.

“Sis!”

Rachel frowned but did not answer when she heard Regina calling out for her.

Regina was not angry at her lack of response and kept waving her arms at them frantically.

When Justin and Rachel came closer, she shot Justin a dirty look. “Where did you bring my sister to? Why were you gone the whole afternoon? Look at the time now!”

Justin replied calmly, “The sun’s not even set.”

“So? It’s not safe in the mountains. You must be back before sundown next time, by 5.00PM.”

“5.00PM?” Rachel gave Regina a look. “Why does it matter to you when I get back? Also, we’re not from the same family.”

“How are we not? We were born in the same family!”

“A family divided by the ocean?” Rachel’s comeback made Regina lose her temper.

Rachel went into the homestay as she was done dealing with Regina’s antics. Justin could not do anything but look at Regina, who had just received a scolding. “Do you need help?”

“I don’t need your help!”

“Okay, sure.”

He was going to follow Rachel in. Yet, just as he was about to reach the steps, he heard Regina’s flustered voice sounding behind. “How will I enter if you don’t push me in?”

Justin looked over his shoulder and asked, “How did you get out in the first place?”

“It was obviously the waiter who pushed me out.”

There was a local young man among the servers. He had tanned skin and looked like a simple and good-natured lad. He would blush whenever he saw Regina.

Despite being a nitpicker, she was beautiful. So, it was natural that she got special treatment.

Justin glanced down at the steps and saw a board on top of it. It definitely wasn’t there when Justin and Rachel left in the afternoon. So, there was a high possibility that the young man put it there for Regina to go up and down the steps in the wheelchair.

It was a pity, though; Regina, the little princess, despised the wheelchair. She did not want to touch the wheelchair at all, so she could only wait for someone to push her around.

“I thought you didn’t want my help?”

“Can’t I take it back?”

“Sure. Of course.” Justin didn’t bother arguing with her this time.

He was in a good mood after the walk in the afternoon. Then, when he knew that he would be staying here with Rachel for a more extended period, his mood brightened even more. Then, he pushed Regina into the building.

Alas, Regina was still talking incessantly. “You’re not allowed to bring my sister out anymore. If you want to go out, you must bring me along. Or else!”

“Or else what?”

“Or else, don’t even think about going out!” Regina’s threat did not hold water, but Justin did not challenge her anymore.

The homestay’s owner was a lovely lady. After they left in the afternoon, she specially prepared a few more dishes for Regina.

“You guys are back.” The tanned staff came out from behind the counter, and as expected, he blushed when he saw Regina. “The food will be ready in a bit. Sis made some fish soup for you.”

He was referring to the owner of the homestay as he was her cousin. He looked to be around the age of 15, similar to Regina.

Humph! Regina turned her nose to the sky and did not even say thank you.

“Say thank you.” Justin reminded Regina.
