The Silent Wife

Chapter 306

Chapter 306

“Put me down at this instance!”

“Until we arrive at the entrance of Bucky’s house, I will not do that.”

To Justin, who stood at a frame of six feet three inches, carrying Rachel was as easy as handling a cat. As he crushed the stones with his leather shoes along the way, they quickly traversed the alley.

Meanwhile, Rachel’s heart was racing.

“Is it over there?”

She heard a man’s voice from above her, which brought her back to reality..

As Rachel looked at the spot faraway, it was the only house that had windows sealed with old newspaper. On the door were a few ropes with two tattered towels attached to it.

“Looks like it.”

When she investigated Bucky’s background earlier, she found out that he had an old home here, but it was a place most of the residents had moved out from. His unit was the only exception. He only had one sister, who stayed in the school dorm and occasionally returned during the winter and summer breaks.

Since Bucky was recently released, it wasn’t that he couldn’t freely move out. However, since his sister was already staying here, the possibility of him returning to the village was exceptionally great.

“Put me down.”

When they arrived at the entrance, Rachel started to struggle as she wanted to be on her feet. After setting her down, Justin proceeded to knock on the door.

“Is anyone home?”

His voice echoed in the alley.

No response came from the other side.

“No one’s home.”

Rachel frowned because she saw the dripping wet towel at the entrance and said in confusion, “That can’t be possible.”

She stumbled ahead.

He was ready to hold her with a gesture. “Be careful!”

While ignoring him, Rachel reached out and slammed the door.
