My Mute Bride Chapter 69

However, she shook her head after hesitating for a few seconds.

She didn’t want to know.

Her grandma had always told her that knowing many secrets wasn’t a good thing since she was young.

Still, Justin continued with his words, “It happened a long time ago.”

Rachel was slightly stunned.

His parents had passed away when he was a kid, so he had grown up with his aunt after that. It would have been fine if he came from a normal family, but he spent most of his life in the Burton Family where everyone was sly and cunning. She couldn’t fathom what he had endured while he was growing up.

Suddenly, she felt like he wasn’t as fearful as he was in the past and his scar wasn’t no longer intimidating.

Then, Justin asked, “I heard from your father that you were kidnapped as a child?”

Kidnapped?

Rachel froze for a moment before she cautiously shook her head. I don’t remember much about my childhood. Why are you suddenly asking this?

“It’s nothing.”

He looked away before he closed his eyes while she looked deep in thought.

As to the matter of her kidnapping, Rachel had heard two completely different versions ever since she was young. According to Jefferey and the servants in the Hudson Family, she was kidnapped at birth and taken away before being stranded for eight years.

However, her grandmother had told Rachel that she had been living with her in the mountains since young.

It was impossible for her grandmother to kidnap her in the mountains, wasn’t it?

Rachel suddenly thought of something.

The next day, she asked Janice to meet her at a cafe.

“One cup of latte and a cup of cappuccino, please.”

“Alright. Please wait a minute.”

As soon as the waiter left, Janice asked, “Hans has already told me about your plans to leave Riverdale. Have you thought things through?”
