My Mute Bride Chapter 51

Chapter 51 Were There Enough Wedding Favors?

Rachel entered the study at night to serve Justin with some tea.

At the sound of the door being opened, he instructed her without looking up, “Put it down.”

Even though she did as he asked her to, she stood there without leaving.

Finally, he looked up at her. “Did you need something else?”

Rachel hesitated for a moment before she signed. Do you have a solution for the medication formula?

She shook her head.

For now, Rachel didn’t plan on telling him that she had seen the formula.

Since the dosages weren’t listed, she was worried that even if she informed Justin about it, he would think she was hiding something from him.

Justin asked in a careless manner, “I heard Jefferey took you to the vineyard last week. What were you doing there?”

It was right after he dropped the question that Rachel’s heart raced loudly.
