The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 561


Right as Jolly finished speaking, the sound of a door opening followed by wheels rolling against the floor traveled to their ears.


“Sis,” Regina called out right as she spotted Rachel.

“Sis?” Jolly glanced at Rachel. “Who is she calling?”


Apart from Rachel, she was the only other woman in this space.

“It’s a long story.” Rachel frowned at Jolly’s bewildered gaze.

There really wasn’t a way to keep this story concise, so Rachel just noted a few key points. Jolly was rendered gobsmacked, having a hard time processing the fact that Rachel’s father was still alive and had married into Yatruinia royalty.

“Pinch me, Leroy—ouch!” Jolly glared at the man. “I can’t believe you actually pinched me.”

“Stop acting. I didn’t even use any strength.” He chuckled under his breath while rubbing her arm.

Meanwhile, Regina had arrived at their side. Despite having been yelled at the day before, she acted like nothing ever happened, approaching them shamelessly. “Come and join us for breakfast later, sis.”

“Thanks, but no thanks.” Rachel turned down her offer. “We’re planning to dine outdoors.”

“I’ll join you guys, then!”

“Lady Regina, you mustn’t eat food from outside,” Regina’s butler, Cordelia, reminded at once, making the young woman frown.

“No food from outside?” Shock enveloped Jolly’s face as she mocked, “Just when you thought you’ve seen everything. Say, Chris, does this mean we’ll have to make an appointment before we get to see you, and the food you eat would be royal-banquet-level if you actually move to Yatruinia?”

“Who are you?” Regina sized Jolly up.

“Me?” Jolly got mischievous. “Why don’t you take a guess?”

“Why should I do that?” Regina couldn’t care less about this woman. “I don’t want to know who you are either.”

“Cranky, much? Just when I thought it’d be a good idea for Chris to follow you guys. Looking at your temper, who knows how you might abuse her? Forget about going, Chris. You’re better off living with me. My parents will keep you safe, and my family isn’t any lesser than royalty.”

“What did you say?!” Regina’s face turned awful. “Who are you, and why should my sister stay with you?!”

“She’s my little sister.”

“Little sister?” Rachel’s revelation stumped Regina. “No way! You only have me as a sister! Rachel, I’m your only sister!”

“Not only am I Chris’ little sister, my parents are also her godparents, and the four of us live a pretty sweet life as a family. Sorry, you’re a few years too late now.”

“You can’t do that!” Livid, Regina shot up from her wheelchair, shocking Cordelia.

“Lady Regina.” She hurriedly supported the young woman.

“Are you going to steal my sister from me?!”

“I’m not stealing her from you. You’re the only one here trying to seize her.”

“You—”

“Alright, quit it. It’s way too early for this.” Rachel stood up, having had enough of the fight. “You guys haven’t had anything to eat when you’ve come all the way here, have you? Come on, let’s have breakfast together.”

Leroy tried to smooth things at that. “I’m getting hungry. I’ll go and get Carmen.”

“Sis!” Regina shouted toward Rachel’s back but only got Jolly sticking her tongue out at her in response, rendering the young woman livid with rage.

“Lady Regina, please sit down. Your ankle still hasn’t recovered yet.”

“That woman is about to steal my sister away, and you want me to sit down?!” Regina gritted her teeth and slumped back into her wheelchair. “No, I have to follow them.”

“Lady Regina.”

“Don’t follow me.” She shot Cordelia a warning glare.

She refused to believe Rachel would leave her like that when none of her people attended to her.

After Leroy came back with Carmen, the gang headed to the diner.

As it was still bright and early, the diner was packed with customers, and the smell of pancakes and milkshakes lingered in the air of the street.
