My Mute Bride Chapter 12


    Chapter 12,My Mute Bride


    After Justin came back, Sue exined the incident and made a few indifferent remarks. The man


    merely cast a casual nce at Rachel, who was standing in a corner, without stating his position. Even


    so, Rachel wasn’t disappointed since she had expected such an oue 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’ste, 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 hispany 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


    gracefuldy, but Justin narrowed his eyes. “If you don’t leave right now, you don’t have toe 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 cating 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’lle again some other day.” She was still smiling when she left, but her face instantly darkened as


    soon as she left the ce. In the end, she nced 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 ced 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. “Why are you lingering around


    here?”


    Rachel pursed her lips and looked up at him. Then, she put her palms together and ced them


    between her neck and her shoulder to make a sleeping gesture. Aren’t you going to sleep? She merely


    asked the question casually, but the man had obviously misunderstood her. Justin furrowed his brows


    and asked, “Do you want to sleep with me?”


    Rachel was stunned for a moment before she shook her head vigorously. Justin then strode off and


    replied, “Since that isn’t the case, don’t disturb me.” Rachel froze on the spot for a moment before


    leaving in silence. However, neither of them spotted Julian standing outside the window.


    A hint of shock shed across his eyes; he wanted to reminisce about the past with Justin at first, but


    he didn’t expect to witness this scene. Justin isn’t actually nice to her, he thought to himself. Upon


    realizing this, he immediately figured out what had been puzzling him. No wonder even Mrs. Duncan


    dares to lord it over her.


    Julian heard from the nurse who looked after Rachel’s grandmother that someone had paid for the old


    woman’s treatment at first, but the financial support had been cut off for no reason. Thus, he


    spected that Justin was probably the one who cut off the financial support, which was why Rachel


    was worried.


    Furthermore, he heard what Mrs. Duncan said during the daytime and witnessed Sue’s manner toward


    Rachel. What else could he not understand? 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. How could


    she afford her grandmother’s expensive medical bills?


    Rachel was only a stranger whom Julian had met twice, but for some unfathomable reason, Julian


    found his heart aching for her. Perhaps I should help her, he thought to himself. …… When Rachel


    woke up the next morning, everyone else in the Burton Residence continued to ignore her. Sue had


    stopped asking her to do the household chores ever since she did it and was stopped by Justin.


    Rachel finished her lunch under the servants’ contemptuous gazes, but when she got up, Julian called


    her, “Miss Hudson.” He did not address her as his cousin-inw. Instead, he kept calling her ‘Miss


    Hudson’ so that she didn’t feel so embarrassed. Rachel’s face showed a look of confusion.


    Then, she heard Julian reply, “The hospital director told me that your grandmother has regained


    consciousness. As it happens, I’m going to the hospital to do a follow-up examination on her, so I can


    give you a lift.” Rachel was first delighted at the news of her grandmother regaining consciousness, but


    she then hesitated somewhat.


    She asked with signnguage. Can I go with you? Since he knew what she was worried about, Julian


    shook his head with a smile. “It’ll be fine.” In the end, Rachel’s eagerness to visit her grandmother got


    the better of her.
