The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 518

The woman beside Mr. Burton has a delicate appearance. Though she doesn’t appear stunning at first glance, her temperament is gentle and demure, especially those eyes. Those eyes of hers are just so… tender.

Shannon narrowed her eyes and said flatly, “If that’s the case, then I won’t ask any more questions. Mr. Burton, please come in.”

Rachel was going to follow Justin in, but Shannon turned slightly and stopped her very naturally. “It’s just giving something. Mrs. Burton, you don’t have to go in, right?”

“Mrs. Bennett.” Justin frowned and was about to say something but was stopped by Rachel. She squeezed his arm slightly, but her face did not change. “Mrs. Bennett is right. I won’t go in to disturb you. I’ll wait for you outside.”

Justin was worried, but Rachel appeared calm and composed. “Go.”

Shannon said, “Don’t worry about Mr. Burton. When you come out, I will definitely return your wife to you intact.”

“Mrs. Bennett, you think too much.” Rachel smiled slightly and added, “How could my husband be worried about this?”

Seeing how insistent Rachel was, Justin couldn’t say anything else. “I’ll be out soon.”

“Yeah.” Watching Justin enter the ward, Rachel felt nervous.

Shannon’s questioning voice came from her side. ‘Mrs. Burton, you must be quite tired all the way to Enistan, right? Why not have a cup of tea with me and take a break?”

“Sure.”

The hospital was truly a luxury infirmary under the Grandeur Group. The cafe on the first floor had baristas who came from overseas and were highly skilled in crafting perfect cups of coffee. Rachel and Shannon sat opposite each other, and the surroundings were silent.

“My husband has known Mr. Brook for more than 10 years, but he has never heard that Mr. Brook has a good relationship with Mr. Burton. Mrs. Burton, how did you come to know Mr. Brook?” Shannon was forthright with her question.

Rachel’s heart was pounding madly. She didn’t know who Mr. Brook was at all, and Justin didn’t tell her what was going on. She only knew that it was a friend Justin knew.

“I’ve never been very involved in my husband’s affairs, so I’m not too sure.”

“Don’t you ask? Do you usually not ask about Mr. Burton’s business relationships?”

Rachel nodded. “That’s right.”

“What do you usually like to do as a pastime?”

“I enjoy cooking, and I take care of the children.”

“You have children?”

“Yeah, we have two children.” Rachel smiled slightly and deliberately looked envious of Shannon. “I am not as capable as you, Mrs. Bennett, and I admire a woman like you who can help her husband manage such a large family business.”

Shannon looked at Rachel with contempt in her eyes. She took a sip of coffee and said softly, “Actually, it is a good idea for everyone to find their own position in life. There is no need for every woman to be a career woman.”

Even so, her tone and gaze were clearly disgusted that Rachel was just a stay-at-home parent.

“This hospital seems to be your family’s property, right?”

“Yeah.”

“The buildings are very interesting. Hospitals of this style are rarely seen in the country.”

“It used to be a church. My brother bought the land and developed it into a hospital. By following the previous architectural style, a church-style hospital was built.”

“If you don’t mind, can I look around?”
