The Silent Wife

After Justin came back, Sue explained the incident and made a few indifferent remarks. The man merely cast a casual glance at Rachel, who was standing in a corner, without stating his position. Even so, Rachel wasn’t disappointed since she had expected such an outcome long ago.

On the other hand, Amber couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly. Doesn’t this show that he doesn’t care about Rachel at all? she thought to herself. With a big smile on her face, she walked up to Justin and held out to him the coffee she had brewed. “Have some coffee, Justin. You’ve been busy all day long, so let’s quench your thirst with this.”

Much to her surprise, Justin refused and said, “It’s not necessary. It’s late, so you should go home now.”

Amber’s smile froze on her lips. She deliberately acted cute, pretending not to understand that Justin wanted to chase her away. “I want to learn something from you so that I’ll do a better job of helping my Dad manage his company in the future, Justin. Can I do that?”

Normally, a man wouldn’t have the heart to refuse a coquettish plea made by such a pretty and graceful lady, but Justin narrowed his eyes. “If you don’t leave right now, you don’t have to come here anymore.” The scar on his face made him look very menacing when he looked at someone chillingly.

Upon that, Amber’s expression changed slightly. She hurriedly smiled in a placating manner to save herself from the embarrassment. “All right, all right. I know you are afraid that my Dad will be worried about me, right? You’re only saying so for my own good, and I understand that, Justin. In that case, I’ll be going home first. I’ll come again some other day.” She was still smiling when she left, but her face instantly darkened as soon as she left the place. In the end, she glanced at the Burton Residence’s gate with a look of determination in her eyes.

After Amber left, Rachel held a cup of brewed Earl Grey tea and placed it on Justin’s desk. She knew that Justin liked to make a cup of tea whenever he came home from work, which was why he refused to drink the coffee Amber had brewed. However, her body tensed up subconsciously as she could sense his dark gaze falling on her even with her head lowered.

Come to think of it, any woman would find herself in a very difficult situation if she was a mute who couldn’t speak, was detested by her husband, and had an awkward position in the Burton Family, let alone a weak and helpless woman like Rachel.
