My Mute Bride

Clack. The sound of the door knob turning could be heard loud and clear.

Gloria and Rachel froze for a moment, and the former’s words came to an abrupt halt. She was surprised by this, and she looked at Justin as he walked inside. “When did you arrive?”

Meanwhile, the man’s expression was cold.

“Gloria, go back to your room for now.”

Gloria stiffened up and eyed Rachel worriedly. She only left once the latter signaled that she would be fine.

Justin and Rachel were now the only ones left in the room.

“You don’t intend to keep the child?”

His cold voice resounded throughout the room.

Now that Gloria had left, it felt as though the temperature in the room had dropped by several degrees.

Rachel gripped her blanket tightly. Yes.

Since the baby was fated to live a tragedy if they were born, it would be better if they never got to start their story. They would be born to a mute mother who wouldn’t have the ability to protect them, and to a father who did not love them at all. Who would be able to bear such a childhood?

Rachel’s composed expression incensed Justin. “And who let you make such a decision by yourself?”

A shadow loomed over her. The sudden assault of pain from her arm made Rachel suck in a breath. Her face, which was already pale, completely drained of color then.

Most frighteningly, she was surprised to find that she could feel a faint sense of happiness.

At the very least, Justin wanted the baby.

“Listen up carefully-you will keep this child. You don’t have the right to decide otherwise. Your job includes giving the Burtons children, and they will bear the Burton name. You don’t have to care for them; all you need to do is birth them. Once they’re born, someone else will take care of them.”

Those words of his were like cold water from a bucket, drenching Rachel and making a bone-deep chill settle inside her.

Did Justin not intend for her to raise her own children?
