The Silent Wife

Chapter 238

 

Chapter 238

The kiss came about quite unexpectedly and Rachel couldn’t react fast enough before she was pushed onto the genuine silk bed sheets. The only sound she could hear at the moment was the noise of the rustling of clothes by her ears.

Just as his huge palm traveled down her waist and moved downward, she suddenly came to her senses.

Suddenly, Justin was pushed aside by Rachel and his back knocked against the bed frame. Instantly, he grunted in pain and stared at her.

“I’m sorry. Did I jolt your injury?”

Even though she expressed concern with her words, that two steps backward that she took was in fact her most truthful reaction. It was hard to ignore her body’s instinctive rejection and wariness.

Just then, Justin’s expression darkened slightly. “I was too presumptuous.”

At that moment, the atmosphere surrounding them became quite tense and it seemed as if the air had turned quite still. Both of them were at a loss for what to do.

“I’ll go downstairs to prepare dinner. You should get some rest.” With that, Rachel fled the room.

Meanwhile, Justin frowned upon hearing the door shut behind her. He was slightly frustrated but mostly downcast.

Suddenly, his cell phone by the side vibrated and he glanced at the screen. As soon as he saw the name on the caller ID, he revealed an impatient look and tapped on the reject call sign.

However, the person on the other end was relentless and made three consecutive phone calls to him. Just as he was about to block that number, a text message notification popped up with a loud’ping’.

Justin, you’ve been tricked. Rachel’s back here not because of work or for her child. It’s because of you. She’s here to seek revenge for Hans.

Justin’s eyes narrowed upon seeing the name ‘Hans’ and somehow, the name sounded quite familiar to him. He seemed to have heard of this name from somewhere.

A few seconds later, he placed a phone call to Amber’s number.

“Justin! You’re finally taking my call.”

“Who’s Hans?”
