The Silent Wife

Chapter 131

Chapter 131

After hesitating for a moment, Julian said, “Nothing. I just wanted to say that the weather’s good today. I’ll bring you and those two out to have a walk. The air here in Southwind is quite clean.”

“Don’t you have to go back to work?’

“I’m on leave today.”

Hearing that, she gave him a nod as a smile crept up her eyes.

The moment Gloria heard that they were going out, she quickly got off the piano and ran to the kitchen to discuss with Mary what food to pack. “Sandwiches, juice, milk… Oh, most importantly, the barbecue stand and the hammock!”

Victor then sighed with exasperation. “Do you think you’re going on a preschool field trip?”

The two continued to banter.

As Julian helped Rachel up, they gave each other a helpless smile.

Before leaving the house, a few bodyguards that Justin had assigned blocked Rachel from going out.

At once, Gloria said with annoyance, “What are you doing?”

“Miss Hochmann, Mr. Burton ordered that Mrs. Burton must not leave the premises.”

“We’ll be back at night. Just let it slide this time.”

“We can’t do that. Miss Hochmann, please don’t make things difficult for us.”

Turning back to take a look at Rachel, Gloria saw her face slowly darken.

‘It’s alright, Gloria. We don’t have to go!

“No way!”

With a dark face, Gloria said, “Rae, give me a moment.”

After saying that, she immediately walked away to make a phone call.

“Hello? It’s me.”

The one who picked up the call was Frankie. “Miss Hochmann? What can I help you with?”

After hearing what Gloria said, Frankie quickly headed to the ballroom to find Justin. “Mr. Burton, Miss Hochmann has called.”

Today, Justin donned a white suit which he rarely did. Compared to a black suit, the white suit toned down his angsty evil aura of his. He seemed much more peaceful in white.
