My Mute Bride Chapter 239


    Chapter 239 I Want to Hear It From You


    As soon as the name ‘Hans’ came out of Justin’s mouth, Rachel was significantly caught by surprise.


    She then tightened her grip of her tightly clenched fist until her fingernails pressed into her palms


    painfully. The pain instantly brought her back to her senses.


    “Who did you talk to?” “Answer me!” Justin raised his voice all of a sudden and grabbed Rachel’s arm


    threateningly. “I’m asking you, who’s Hans? Why did youe back to Riverdale?”


    “Why are you asking me about Hans? Why don’t you ask yourself then?” Just then, Rachel had a stoic


    expression on her face. “He was the only person other than grandma who treated me kindly. He moved


    back from abroad because of me and he helped me multiple times. However, he ended up disabled


    because of you. He was crippled…”


    Rachel flung Justin’s arm aside as her words became much more emotional and her raised voice


    reverberated in the house. “Do you need me to continue reminding you of the past?!”


    There was a ripping pain that came from the wound on Justin’s back and the vein on his temples


    pulsed furiously. “That’s why you hate me so much!”


    It’s not even because I mistreated her after our marriage! It’s all because of this guy, Hans! She hates


    me so intensely because I crippled him!


    “Is there any point in me harboring hatred against you?! Hans is dead! He can’te back from the


    grave! I don’t see any point in discussing this with you any further because you have no recollection of


    all this. Since you don’t trust me and have your suspicions and choose to confront me because of


    someone dead for nearly six years, what’s the point of entering into a rtionship with me then?” With


    that, Rachel turned on her heels to leave. However, Justin suddenly grabbed her and roared, “Stop


    right there!”


    “Let go of me!”


    “I didn’t say that you could leave!”


    “What do you want from me? Let go of me!”


    During their struggle, Justin suddenly hugged Rachel from behind. “I was only asking you who he is! I


    can’t remember anything so I wanted to confirm his identity with you. I don’t care about what others


    say, I just wanted to hear it from you.”


    “Well, you’ve got your answer now. Is it the same as what others told you? Are you satisfied now?”


    Though she was held in his embrace, her expression remained indifferent. “If you don’t trust my words,


    why don’t you give Frankie a call? I’m quite sure that he’s well aware of everything that happened in


    the past and he would never lie to you.”


    “There’s no need for that.” Justin said, his tone soft.


    Rachel had not hidden anything from him and every single thing that she had said was basically the


    same as what Amber had mentioned through the phone. The only difference in their words could not be


    clearly confirmed even if he questioned Rachel.

    “Let go of me,” Rachel muttered coldly before she shoved him aside mercilessly.


    “Amber was the one who told you all this, I presume?”


    Meanwhile, Justin’s expression stiffened. “Yeah.”


    “So this is what you mean when you told me that the engagement is off between the two of you and


    you won’t have any sort of contact with her anymore?”


    “No, things are different from what you assume!”


    “Tell me, then, how is it actually different? I don’t think she merely mentioned who Hans was. She must


    have also mentioned that Hans was my first love and I was infatuated with him since high school, huh?


    That if it weren’t for Mrs. Egerton’s objection, we would have gotten together ages ago, right?”


    Meanwhile, Justin had a shocked expression on his face. “Why do you…”


    “Why do I know all the details?!” Rachel revealed a cold smirk. “That’s because she told you the same


    thing when we were married to each other and you confronted me about it back then, just like how you


    did so earlier.”


    Just then, Rachel’s annoyance and disappointment troubled Justin.


    “Rae, I really don’t recall a single thing.”


    Besides this sentence, he had no idea how to justify his earlier actions. Perhaps this sentence couldn’t


    quite justify anything either, so he added, “I’m sorry.”


    “I’m tired. You should get some rest after you’re done with your meal.” With that, Rachel turned around


    and left the room.


    Meanwhile, Justin called out to her but he didn’t manage to stop her from leaving. In the end, he was


    significantly frustrated.


    The moment the door to Rachel’s bedroom mmed shut, she leaned against the door and the sullen


    expression on her face dissipated instantly. All that was left on her face was indifference.


    …


    The night had fallen and Amber was on guard by her phone untilte at night. Finally, she couldn’t take


    it anymore and she dialed Justin’s number once again.


    “Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavable…”


    Unavable? Amber was momentarily shocked so she tried her luck again and sent him a text


    message. This time, however, there was a notification that her message was rejected.


    Suddenly, something dawned upon her and her expression darkened instantly.


    “Bam!” She swept everything on her desk, including herputer and cell phone, to the ground and


    there was a loudmotion as everything fell and smashed into pieces. Her ugly expression that was


    full of anger was clearly reflected on the full-length mirror in her room.


    How can it be that even after mentioning Hans, their rtionship isn’t affected at all?! She’s indeed


    quite good at this game and not someone to be taken lightly! I underestimated her from the start! I’m


    sure she must have a weak point, though!


    At that moment, Amber thought of something and she made a phone call right away. “Hey, it’s me. Help


    me find out which school Rachel’s son goes to.”


    The next morning, Martha dropped off Samuel and Charlotte at the school entrance. “Go on in, you


    two!”


    “Bye, Martha!”


    Samuel and Charlotte carried a small backpack on their backs. Then, after Martha had left, Charlotte


    turned to wink at Samuel. “Samuel, I want to have the pancakes from yesterday.”


    Both of them usually agreed with each other when it came to food. “Let’s go.”


    Unbeknown to Martha, every morning, after she had dropped the two of them at the school entrance,


    the two children would swiftly make their way across the road to buy pancakes from the breakfast stall.


    “Samuel, why can’t we tell Mommy and Daddy that we ate this?”


    “Mommy said that the food made by stalls like this are not prepared properly so it’s easy to get sick


    from eating them. That’s why she doesn’t let me have food like this.”


    “Daddy doesn’t allow me to eat outside food too.”


    “That’s why we can’t let them know. If we tell them about this, next time they may confiscate our pocket


    money. By then, both of us won’t get to enjoy such yummy food anymore.”


    “You’re right.” Charlotte nodded her head earnestly. “Samuel, I want some chocte brownies too.”


    “We’re about to bete for ss.” Samuel nced at his watch. “How about you go back to ss first


    and I’ll go buy you some brownies? Don’t forget to let Mr. Wade know that I’m in the toilet.”


    “Okie dokey!” Charlotte signaled okay with her fingers, and both of them went their separate ways.


    As the chocte brownies’ stall was on another street, Samuel carried his little backpack and took a


    shortcut across a small alley. He seemed to be quite familiar with the ce and it looked like he was


    used to doing this.


    Suddenly, there was a tall, strapping figure that appeared at the entrance of the alley and the person


    blocked his path before he had even taken more than a few steps ahead.


    “It’s this kid here. I’m sure of it.”


    “Gosh, I can’t believe my luck! Again?!” Samuel frowned. “What do you guys want to do again? Are you


    going to kidnap me?”


    “Again?!” The two strapping males exchanged looks with each other, seemingly confused.


    Meanwhile, Samuel calmly responded, “I told youst time that you’ll end up in a horrible state if you


    kidnap me. After all, my daddy’s Justin Burton. Do you guys know him?”


    “You little despicable brat! I can’t believe you’d go about iming that he’s your dad! Rachel’s taught


    you quite well, hasn’t she?” A high-pitched woman’s voice rang out from behind the two guys and the


    clicking sound of her high heels tapping against the ground of the alley was clearly audible.


    Just then, both men moved to the side respectfully. Meanwhile, Amber had her arms crossed in front of


    her as she scrutinized the kid in front of her with a disdainful look. “Who told you that Justin’s your


    dad?”


    “I don’t need anyone to tell me that. He is my daddy!” Samuel looked thoughtfully at the woman


    standing not too far from him. After quite some time, he suddenly recalled who she was. “I know who


    you are!”
