My Mute Bride

My Mute Bride Chapter 124

Night came, and Rachel leaned against the headboard of her bed as she read her book. There was a bowl near the bed, and its contents-a concoction to keep her energy levels up during her pregnancy-was already finished. As Rachel read her book, she unconsciously caressed her belly.

Although she wasn’t at a stage where her belly would show yet, she could already sense the presence of this new little life. This was probably what they called the bond between mother and child.

Rachel had spent the last few days alone, and as the days passed, she grew even more fonder of this child. She recalled that Justin had also grown up without his own parents as well. As long as the child in her belly had the Burtons’ blood flowing in their veins, no one would mistreat them. After all, the child was innocent.

Just then, the door opened with a creak. The light footsteps that Rachel then heard were different from how they usually sounded. She froze, and when she turned around, she saw an unwelcome guest. Amber?

Why are you here?

“Why are you so surprised?” Amber paced around her room. “I heard that you’re pregnant, so I came all the way to see you. After all, that kid in your belly is my nephew.”

Amber then stretched a hand out, and the diamond ring glinting on her ring finger was especially radiant. “Take a look. What do you think this is?”

Rachel frowned. What exactly is your motive?

A document then fell onto Rachel’s blanket with a smack.

“Sign this.”

Rachel stiffened, having seen the words ‘divorce agreement written on the paper. She then looked up in disbelief.

Amber was absolutely smug. “Justin wanted me to bring this to you. He’s already signed it. As soon as you sign the papers, you won’t have any more ties with him.”

That’s impossible.

“Impossible?” Amber chuckled coldly. “You really thought that your position as the lady of the Burton family is secured just because you’ve got a bun in the oven? Let me tell you this-all I need to do is make some little scheme, then that child in your belly will become utterly worthless.” The Albrights overseas? It’s all just a cover.
