My Mute Bride

My Mute Bride Chapter 74

Regardless of what Justin thought, he had indeed taken care of her a lot in the past two days.

Thank you.

At night, Rachel couldn’t concentrate on her book with the sound of water splashing in the bathroom.

After a certain period of time, the sound of water ceased abruptly. She immediately came to her senses, then closed the book and set it aside before quickly pulling up the quilt and lying down. She turned her back so that it was facing the direction of the bathroom, and she made sure to only occupy a small part of her side of the bed.

After the door opened, there was a slight rustling sound of the covers being lifted behind her.

“Are you asleep?”

Rachel shut her eyes even tighter. In the next second, a huge hand passed through the gap between her neck and the pillow, then she was pulled into his arms. His body temperature was abnormally high after the shower, much like a steamer that was exuding heat.

Rachel opened her eyes in a panic before she heard his voice from above her head. “Go to sleep.”

The sound of even breathing swept past the wisps of hair next to her ears, and the man’s chin was pressed against the top of her head. Rachel felt like a small bun being pressed into the steamer. The heat was making her panic, but somehow, she felt at ease, and she slowly began to relax.

After Rachel spent a few days at home resting, her foot injury was almost healed. This afternoon, she was alone in the garden tending to the flowers and plants when Mrs. Duncan hurriedly opened the door and came out. “Mrs. Burton, quickly change your clothes. Old Mr. Burton wants to see you.”

The scissors in Rachel’s hand trembled slightly, and she abruptly cut off a rose stem, whereupon a large, vivid rose fell onto the grass. Did he say why he’s looking for me?

“How would I know that? Anyway, he’s asking for you. Quickly go back and change your clothes. It will take quite a while to get to the summer villa from here,” Mrs. Duncan urged. Rachel could only set down her things and go back to change her clothes.

“I’ll call you a cab.”

That’s fine. I’ll drive there.

After Rachel drove off, Mrs. Duncan’s expression changed immediately. “Damn. When Young Master
