The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 484

Gloria gave Jolly a strange look. “What are you talking about?” In the meantime, Rachel also heard the doorbell as she walked out of the kitchen, shooting an annoyed gaze at the two ladies. “You ladies are so lazy that you’d rather chat than answer the door, aren’t you?” She nagged at them while heading toward the door.

As soon as Gloria saw the visitor, her eyes were left wide open. At the same time, Jolly quickly snapped a picture of her reaction, asking herself how much money she could blackmail her with her unflattering photo. I wonder how much a genius pianist would pay for the ‘right’ of owning this unflattering picture.

Rachel grabbed a pair of flip-flops and gave them to Justin, asking. “Did you come from Burton Group?”

“Yeah.”

“How did everything go?”

“It went smoothly.”

“Didn’t he give you a hard time?” “Well, sometimes we win; sometimes we lose. So, that’s not how I would describe it.’ After putting on the flip-flops, Justin shifted his eyes to the ladies who were enjoying their snacks in the living room and greeted them with a nod.

Then, he rolled his sleeves upward and asked Rachel what he could do to help her. “Is there anything I can help with?”

“Yup, there is. Charlotte has a craving for your grilled fish, so I need you for that.”

“No problem.”

While Gloria was stunned, seeing Justin following Rachel into the kitchen, Jolly lifted her friend’s chin and said, “You might want to close your mouth. Why are you so surprised?”

“How can you not be?” Gloria turned her attention to her friend. “Don’t you find this surprising at all? Both of them are back together, aren’t they?”

As Jolly nodded in response, only to shake her head shortly after, Gloria became more tempted to hear more from her. “Come on. Don’t keep me guessing. Out with it already.”

“They are kind of back together, yet that’s not quite the case.” “Can you just tell me the whole story without making me guess?”

“Let me put it this way. They both buried the hatchet earlier when the two of them were working on the charity, but who knows what’s next for them? What do you think of them, judging by what you just saw?”

“Great!” Gloria’s eyes lit up. “I guess my prayers have been answered!”

Jolly stuck out her finger and shook it, making it hard to read to Gloria. “It’s not like what you think it is. Things may look promising for them, but they are not really what they seem.”

“Just tell me what I want to know. What good does it do you to keep me guessing?” Gloria eagerly showed her desperation.

Jolly decided to reveal what she knew and answered in a serious manner, “The way I see it, it’s no longer easy for them to take things one step further, although they may seem close to each other at the moment.'”

“Why?” “They’ve lost the mystery between them and hence, the intimate feeling together with it.”

“They can rekindle the old flames and start their life together anew.” “How many couples in that situation have you seen successfully getting back together?”

After hearing Jolly’s question, Gloria was speechless. She then looked in the direction of the kitchen, her eyes falling upon Justin and Rachel, who were both preparing the ingredients for cooking. At the same time, both of them appeared comfortable and natural with

each other while working in the kitchen, smiling and laughing happily amidst their delightful chat. In that instant, Gloria began to understand why Jolly said it was hard for both of them to take their relationship one step further. After all, both of them had been through countless sweet and bitter moments together as they had witnessed each other’s shortcomings.

However, when their love seemingly came to an end, they looked past their differences and wished each other the best in their future, even putting their regrets behind them, yet neither of them ever thought of rekindling the old flames with each other. At the thought of that, Gloria suddenly lost her appetite to continue enjoying her snack.

“Come on, what’s with the sigh?” Jolly patted Gloria’s shoulder and tried to lift her spirit. “I’m just saying it’s difficult for them, but not impossible. Who knows, things may take a turn for the better at some point in the future?”
