The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 74

Chapter 74

Regardless of what Justin thought, he had indeed taken care of her a lot in the past two days.

Thank you.

At night, Rachel couldn’t concentrate on her book with the sound of water splashing in the bathroom.

After a certain period of time, the sound of water ceased abruptly. She immediately came to her senses,(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) then closed the book and set it aside before quickly pulling up the quilt and lying down. She turned her back so that it was facing the direction of the bathroom, and she made sure to only occupy a small part of her side of the bed.

After the door opened, there was a slight rustling sound of the covers being lifted behind her.

“Are you asleep?”

Rachel shut her eyes even tighter. In the next second, a huge hand passed through the gap between her neck and the pillow, then she was pulled into his arms. His body temperature was abnormally high after the shower, much like a steamer that was exuding heat.

Rachel opened her eyes in a panic before she heard his voice from above her head. “Go to sleep.”

The sound of even breathing swept past the wisps of hair next to her ears, and the man’s chin was pressed against the top of her head. Rachel felt like a small bun being pressed into the steamer. The heat was making her panic, but somehow, she felt at ease, and she slowly began to relax.

After Rachel spent a few days at home resting, her foot injury was almost healed. This afternoon, she was alone in the garden tending to the flowers and plants when Mrs. Duncan hurriedly opened the door and came out. “Mrs. Burton, quickly change your clothes. Old Mr. Burton wants to see you.”

The scissors in Rachel’s hand trembled slightly, and she abruptly cut off a rose stem, whereupon a large, vivid rose fell onto the grass. Did he say why he’s looking for me?

“How would I know that? Anyway, he’s asking for you. Quickly go back and change your clothes. (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)It will take quite a while to get to the summer villa from here,” Mrs. Duncan urged. Rachel could only set down her things and go back to change her clothes.

“I’ll call you a cab.”

That’s fine. I’ll drive there.

After Rachel drove off, Mrs. Duncan’s expression changed immediately. “Damn. When Young Master

Justin is home, she pretends that it hurts everywhere, yet now she can drive on her own.”

On the road leading to the outskirts of the city, Rachel looked at the three recommended paths on the navigation system. Her finger hovered for a while as she hesitated, then she deliberately chose the third route.

Janice mentioned that there was the least traffic surveillance on that road, especially since there was no time to repair it after the heavy rain some time ago, so there were many blind spots.

The sky was gradually getting dark. Justin was attending a liquor party at the famous Gathering Night Club in Riverdale.

He took over the Burton Group at such a young age, so if he simply relied on his brain and placed himself on a high horse as the rumors claimed, it would simply be impossible to carry out certain businesses.

Frankie answered a call outside the private room and came back to whisper in Justin’s ear. “Mr. Burton, Old Mr. Burton called on Mrs. Burton again.”

Justin frowned, then calmly clinked glasses with Spencer, who was next to him. After taking a sip of the wine, he used the excuse of needing to go to the bathroom to leave the room with Frankie.

“When did this happen?”

“It should be in the afternoon. Someone from the summer villa called and said that Mrs. Burton had already arrived.”

Justin’s eyes darkened a little, and he was seemingly deep in thought.

“Mr. Burton, I don’t think there’s much to worry about. Old Mr. Burton doesn’t have any grudge against Mrs. Burton. Maybe he just called her over to lecture her a little. It should be fine.”

“Where’s Tina?”

Frankie was startled. “Do you think this may be related to Tina again?”

“I don’t just think so I’m sure of it.” With that, Justin strode out of the clubhouse without any hesitation.

“Just answer whatever I ask you.” Arthur glanced at her; his bleary eyes contained a hint of coldness, and he made no attempt to hide his dissatisfaction toward Rachel.

Go on and ask, then.

Rachel discreetly clasped her hands together. I was not in good health, so I was hospitalized to recuperate for a while. There was no special reason.

I didn’t mean that. It was really because my health wasn’t good.
