The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 84

Chapter 84

Rachel stayed in the hospital for just three days, since she didn’t suffer any injuries aside from a minor concussion. On the day of her discharge, it was Frankle who came to deal with the paperwork, and she reflexively looked behind him.

“President Burton isn’t here,” Frankie answered. “He’s been busy over the last couple of days. In some business talk with his partner. That’s why he wanted me to take you home first.”

Rachel nodded, though she felt slightly crestfallen.

In the car, Rachel took the back seat, while Frankle took the passenger seat. “Madam, the guys from the repair shop sent your bag back. You left it in your car. It’s in the back seat. Why don’t you check and see if anything’s missing?”

Looking at the canvas bag beside her, Rachel rummaged through it for a moment, and she frowned. Weird…

“What’s wrong, madam?” Frankie asked.

Rachel snapped out of it and shook her head. It’s not anything valuable anyway, so I guess it’s fine, she thought.

Right after she came back to the Burtons’ villa, a servant came to help her with her stuff.

They kept asking her if she needed anything, and even Mrs. Duncan-who never smiled at her-was beaming. She even asked what Rachel wanted for dinner.

Anything’s fine. You don’t have to go that far.

“No can do. Young Master Justin said the whole family is having dinner together tonight. He’s going to throw you a little welcome party.”

Rachel was touched. Nobody had been so kind to her ever since she was little. Even though Justin wasn’t nice to her, at least he had taken care of her well lately. He even saved her life a few days earlier. But that made her hesitate about the plan.

Rachel came downstairs to help even before it was dark, starting with Justin’s favorite tea.

That of course irked Sue, and she clicked her tongue. “That bitch. She’s nothing more than a lowly servant, but she’s acting like she owns the place.”

Mrs. Duncan sighed. “Don’t let anyone hear you. Everyone’s saying that Young Master Justin is paying a lot of attention to her now, and Master Arthur wanted her to live in the summer villa. She’s already established her spot here.”

Sue’s face was red with anger, but before she could say anything else, they heard the sound of a car coming in.

Rachel quickly turned around, then the servant greeted, “Young Master Justin, welcome home. Hm? Miss Hudson?”

Amber and Justin came in side by side, chatting happily. When Rachel saw this, her hand trembled, and the tea fell.

“Madam! Are you alright? Let’s clear this up.”

Sue beamed the moment she saw Amber. “Justin, you should have told me you’re bringing Amber

back. I would have asked them to make her favorite food.”

Amber held Sue’s arm affectionately. “Oh, you know me, Mrs. Parham. I’m not a picky eater, so I’m fine with anything. Besides, I’m on a diet, so I can’t eat that much.”

“You are still slim though. It’s fine.”

After Justin took his suit off, he noticed Rachel coming out from the kitchen.

Do you want some tea?

“No. Let’s have dinner.”

Rachel looked at Amber. Why’d the two of you come home together?

“Do I need to report everything to you?”

Rachel froze up.

Amber answered, “We went for a golf session and had lunch. Don’t you know that, Rachel?”
