The Silent Wife

Chapter 250

Chapter 250

“I guess so, but I’d usually treat this as being polite.”

After Rachel kept the medicine kit away, she walked upstairs. “It’s getting late. I’m going to rest now.” I should try my best to avoid spending time with Justin alone, now that both of us are living together. After all, I know how strong he is as a man.

The incident from five years ago was clearly imprinted in her memories, forcing her to defend herself.

While she was walking halfway up the stairs, Justin’s voice rang.

“Rachel!”

“Yeah?” She turned around and saw his slightly raised head as he stared at her under the bright lights of the living room.

“What is your relationship with Hernandez?”

“We’re just friends. Rest earlier.”

After giving a short answer, Rachel directly headed into her room without any intention of staying any longer for further explanation.

Hence, Justin was left alone in the living room. He tightly clenched his fists next to his body with a dark expression.

He never believed in any pure friendship between a man and a woman.

Apart from that, Hernandez was overly close to Rachel-the man kept addressing her as ‘babe’. Just the mere thought of it was enough to infuriate Justin.

Meanwhile, as soon as Rachel entered the second bedroom, she received a message from Janice.

After reading the message, her expression stiffened and she immediately gave Janice a ring.
