The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 409

 

“Rach, this is Mr. Leoric.” Julian’s voice brought Rachel back to her senses, and she immediately smiled and greeted the man in front of her. As night fell, Julian sent Rachel home.

 

“Thanks.” Rachel unfastened her seat belt and was about to get out of the car but was grabbed by Julian. His hands were warm as usual, which made people feel safe and comforted as well. She looked at him curiously. “What’s wrong?”

The moment she asked this, she suddenly realized something. Even if they were just giving this a try, they were still a couple, and it was evident what couples should do when they parted.

 

As she faced his burning gaze, she hesitated for a moment and closed her eyes. After waiting for a long time, Julian just kissed. her on the forehead. “Have a good rest.”

Rachel opened her eyes and was stunned by his actions. It was not until he saw her entering the unit building that his eyes gradually tightened. In his mind, just when he was about to kiss Rachel, she closed her eyes and was nervous but tried her best to force herself to relax.

This was not what he wanted. The car drove away from the community. After he dialed a number, the voice of assistant Rike came from the car speakers. ‘President Peters.”

“Where is she?”

“Everything has been arranged at the Vines Hotel. I’ll send you the room number.”

“Alright. I’m going over now.” As soon as Rachel got home, she saw Jolly lying on the sofa with a face mask. The white face mask made her glow unnaturally under the dim light.

Even though this was a regular occurrence, Rachel was still scared silly and instantly woke up from her trance. “Can you turn on the lights in the whole house next time you put on a mask? It’s terrifying.”

Jolly sorted out her mask to fit on her face more comfortably and said, ‘Isn’t this what you asked me to do to save electricity? It’s really difficult to suit your needs. By the way, how did it go today?”

“It went well.” “That’s it?” Jolly got up from the sofa. “Why do I think you’ve been unhappy these two days- what are you thinking?” “Ginny Tuscan moved into the summer villa because she owns half of the property rights of that villa, and it wasn’t Justin who asked her to live there.”

This out-of-the-blue sentence stunned Jolly. “Huh?” After a while, she came back to her senses. “You mean, it’s all that woman’s wishful thinking, and Justin has no intention of going abroad? How is that possible? The Burton Group has no place for him. So why is he still staying in Riverdale?”

“Even so, he wouldn’t leave because of Charlotte.” Rachel suddenly realized something. Even if there were something extremely tempting abroad, no matter how big a benefit was given to him, Justin would not leave as long as Charlotte was still in the country. Jolly shrugged. “Well, even if he won’t leave. what does it have to do with us?”

Rachel was struck dumb. That’s right. What does this have to do with me?

But her heart was inexplicably anxious. Jolly stared at her for a long time. “Rachel, the reason why you suddenly agreed to Julian’s marriage proposal… Could it be because of what I told you? You thought Justin was going abroad with Ginny.”

Rachel was stunned for a moment and instantly denied, “No.”

“You answered too quickly-you’re lying.”

“I really am not.” “You don’t have to explain it to me, just yourself.” Jolly sat down again, waved her hand, and looked calm. “I’ve seen it all now. Things like feelings cannot be forced, and whoever you are with or not all depends on you. It’s your own choice. You chose the wrong person. No matter what, you will still separate in the end.”

Jolly’s words echoed in her ears, and Rachel kept thinking about what she said when she returned to her room. And thus, she had a sleepless night.

In the following week, Rachel was busy dealing with several lawsuits against Hudson. Pharmaceuticals, and she was so busy she couldn’t catch a break.
