Despite Justin’s desire not to disrupt the two women, he still inquired, “How have you and Leroy been?”
“We’re in a long-distance relationship. What else can I do?” Jolly shrugged helplessly. “My big star is extremely busy. I only saw him once after I returned from Switzerland. After that, he started filming.”
“You can visit him on the shooting site,” Rachel suggested. “No. I’m too busy, so I’ll decide based on my moods.” “I can’t believe you’re taking my words seriously.”
Rachel was too tired to talk to her. When Jolly tackled her earlier, Rachel nearly twisted her waist. Therefore, she got up from the sofa and stretched her neck. Walking over to the window, she gazed out at the snow.
The snow outside had accumulated to a thick layer while they were chatting. A few red plum trees bloomed beautifully in the snow in the backyard. It would be nice if I could cut a few branches and put them in a bottle to add a special touch to the house. When Rachel thought of that, the corner of her eyes caught a glimpse of white light.
She was startled and when she turned her head, she saw a bouquet of white roses in buds in a blue-and-white porcelain vase next to the curtain of the floor-to-ceiling windows, on the high table made out of pure wood.
The flowers appeared to be of the same breed as the ones she had at home. Rachel suddenly remembered something, and her train of thought was reconnected. She turned around and looked in the direction of the sofa, her gaze complicated.
Justin was still questioning Jolly about Leroy’s disappearance during filming when Franco rushed over and reported, “Sir, President Connor is here.”
President Connor? Rachel was surprised. President Connor was in his seventies, so what was he doing in the suburbs on this snowy day?
Justin cast a glance at them. “Don’t worry about us. President Connor is probably looking for you for something important, so go ahead and handle it,” Rachel reassured him.
“Then I’ll go ahead.”
“Okay.” After Justin left, she took a look at the white roses again, feeling confused. The snow was getting heavier and Charlotte couldn’t wait any longer, so she ran over to Rachel and said, “Can we have a snowball fight outside now, Mommy? Has it been two hours already?”
Her daughter made Rachel come back to her senses and she glanced at the snow outside, saying, “It should be fine. Get dressed warmly, everyone. Don’t catch a cold.”
“Yeah! Let’s have a snowball fight!” Charlotte ran off obediently to put on a coat, and she ran quickly despite her short legs. On the other hand, the Burton Group, Julian slammed the phone down on the desk after answering a call.
“What’s the deal, Julian? What happened?” Robin, who was sipping his tea, jumped at the slam. “Because of the avalanche disaster in Baybrook, President Connor went looking for Justin at West Magnolia Summer Resort,” Julian said as his gaze became dark..
“The old man is still very energetic to travel that far.” Julian gave him a terrifyingly cold look upon hearing his words. Robin couldn’t help but shiver and grumbled to himself, Are you upset because President Connor visited Justin?
However, that was not the case. The campaign election was only two days ago. Julian had already decided to drop the subject There were so many things he could be doing, and he didn’t have to focus solely on the charitable foundation.
However, he recently received a few photos, which were taken while bringing the children to the summer resort in the past two days.
Julian’s fist clenched as he remembered the photo of Rachel laughing and playing with her kids. This was exactly what Justin told him. Did he still stand a chance?
