The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 562

“Hey, this tastes rather weird. It’s not my thing.” Jolly took a sip of the green smoothie and unhesitantly pushed it to Leroy, who was sitting across from her. “You finish it.”

The usefulness of a boyfriend would always reflect in the various details of life.

For instance, he would walk on the outer side of a sidewalk, voluntarily carry all her shopping bags, or even become an emotionless robot who finished off her leftovers toward the end of a meal.

No man could be exempted regardless of his social status.

After breakfast, Rachel and Justin headed to the market to get some stuff to redecorate the old house. Jolly tagged along, having tons of energy to spend.

“Aren’t you exhausted? Doesn’t lying in the homestay bed sound tempting to you?”

“What’s so exhausting about a road trip? Besides, I want to see the place you lived in as a kid.”

“It’s not finished yet.”

“Perfect. I can help.”

While helping Rachel choose a wall calendar in a bodega, Jolly noticed Regina lingering by the shelves from the corner of her eyes, unwilling to let them leave her sight. At that, she deliberately raised her voice. “We’re sisters. There’s no need to stand on ceremony.”

Sure enough, a certain someone became livid with rage.

Their custom-made furniture could only be delivered in the afternoon, but the chaise lounge Jolly chose, which she claimed would add to the liveliness of the house, was delivered over at once.

“I heard there are wild matsutakes in this mountain. Where are they, Chris?”

“All the matsutake would be long gone if you can find them,” Rachel said helplessly. “Amateurs like us can only find them if we’re super lucky. You can definitely find them if you wake up early and follow the homestay owner up here, though.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes, she has a spot here.”

“Is it still considered wild matsutake then?”

“It is. She just knows where the matsutake grow, and they grow in the same spot nearly every year.”

Though they couldn’t find any matsutake, Rachel still took the gang up the mountain. After all, it was Jolly and Leroy’s first time here. It gave Rachel a sense of being a host, hoping the guys would like Somerset Mountain a little more as she introduced the place.

“Careful, it’s slippery here.” Justin held Rachel’s hand when they were climbing a slope.

“Thanks.”

Behind them, Jolly smiled dubiously when she saw the former couple’s interaction and deliberately asked, “Leroy, where’s Carmen?”

“She ran off,” Leroy said. “She’s picking pines up ahead.”

“Come on, let’s go find her lest something happens. I heard there are wild boars in this neck of the woods.”

“Wild boars?”

Seeing that Leroy was still reeling in perplexity, Jolly pinched him and dragged him away, leaving Rachel and Justin on the slope.

“Don’t run too far off either, guys. The forest here is pretty deep, and you might get lost,” Rachel shouted toward the couple.

“I got it!” Jolly’s voice came from afar, echoing through the woods.

The morning sun came through the gaps in the woods. As the cold mist dispersed, the dampness of the forest transpired, gradually warming up the place.
