My Mute Bride

Chapter 258 You Need to Apologize to Me First

“Alright, I’ll tell you the reason why I treat you this way.” Slap! Rachel hurled the cloth she was holding to the side of the fool before slapping it on Justin’s arm. “In your eyes, you always tend to objectify anything and anyone.

I’m just an object to you—an object that can be traded and exchanged. You were like this in the past, and you’re still the same now. This pompous act of yours is rooted deep down in you. Everyone below you is merely objects.”

As she blurted that, her gaze was as cold as ice––there wasn’t a trace of warmth in it. She didn’t seem angry; she was just so cold that he started to feel alarmed.

“We are just… different. Are you satisfied with this answer?”

At this moment, he seemed to be flustered as he failed to speak.

Tossing him a cold glance, she continued as she started to walk outside, “Do you know why I returned to this country? If it wasn’t because of Charlotte, I wouldn’t be here. I do not expect anything from you. All I hope is that we’ll maintain our distance and not get in each other’s way.” After saying that, she left the kitchen.

Hearing the sound of her footsteps heading upstairs, he swung his fist toward the wall with great force. As painful as the collision might have implied on his knuckles, it was incomparable to the pain her words brought. It was the first time he felt so defeated; he felt helpless beyond words.

At this moment, he noticed a shadow lingering by the entrance of the kitchen. With his brows furrowed, he asked, “Who’s there?”

Upon the cue, Samuel showed his head from behind the door, giving Justin a sympathetic look as he asked, “Are you okay?”

“When did you come?”

“I was here for some time. I heard everything.”

Hearing that, Justin snickered, “Are you here to mock me?”

Shaking his head, Samuel supported himself against the frame of the door. “Are you trying to court my mommy?”

“What do you think?!”

Upon hearing Justin lash out, Samuel grew a little mad. Crossing his arms as he stood, he exclaimed, “If you continue to talk to me with this attitude, I will not help you!”
