My Mute Bride Chapter 233

Chapter 233 There’s No Making up for the Past

Rachel poured him a glass of water and placed it next to his bed. Then, with well-practiced movements, she took out some papers from the cabinet and set them aside. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving then. Frankie will be here later with some new food for you.”

“Why are you in such a rush? Have you been busy at work recently?” “Yes, it’s been very busy. I’ve been keeping tabs on this one project.”

“In that case, leave it to others.” Justin’s tone brooked no argument. “You only have one task, and that is to take care of me.”

“I won’t be coming from tomorrow onward.”

Justin promptly stood up right after that. “What did you say?”

“I hurt my hand, so I can’t cook.”

“That’s it?” Justin stared at her. “I can still eat hospital food if you can’t cook, but you must come every day to take care of me. I ended up hurt because I saved Samuel, so you have to take responsibility for this.”

“I think that Amber was right; I should indeed know when to pull myself back. I shouldn’t have gotten so close to you. Coming to the hospital every day with food for you will make people’s tongues wag. You have a fiancee, so leave this to her in the future,” Rachel said with a straight face.

“Are you angry with me right now?”

“No, I’m simply laying it to you straight, Mr. Burton. I think you should clarify what our relationship is. I am your ex-wife, and the only person connecting us is Charlotte.”

Justin looked at the woman before him. All of a sudden, he felt a kind of disappointment that he couldn’t describe. She clearly was the one who started it all, but now, he actually couldn’t quite leave everything behind.

“I’ll be taking my leave then,” Rachel said when she saw how Justin remained silent.

“Stop,” Justin called after her. “Even if Charlotte is the only reason we have common ground, I am still your superior. I am now commanding you as your superior to stay behind and take care of me.”

“The Burton Group has no such rule.”

“I make the rules.” Justin’s expression darkened. “Unless you want to stop working at the Burton Group, you’ll have to follow my orders.”

“You’re being unreasonable.”
