Chapter 310
Gloria drove Jolly’s car and sent them directly back home.
“Mommy, who was that man from before?”
Now that they were inside the car, Charlotte asked Rachel.
Then, Rachel responded, “I don’t know him.”
However, Samuel spoke up, “Before we went on our school break, I ran into that man by the school entrance where he gave me a box of chocolates too!”
“What chocolates did he give you?” Jolly suddenly turned around to look at him from the front passenger seat with an ugly expression.
“It’s the liqueur-filled chocolates that we both enjoy, but you won’t allow me to have too much of it because it’ll make me drunk.”
“Did you eat them? When was that?” She immediately panicked. “Gloria, head to the hospital right now.”
Gloria was significantly shocked.
Meanwhile, Rachel hurriedly elaborated, “Gloria, just keep driving. Jolly, calm down. Samuel’s school holidays had started quite a while ago. If the chocolates were indeed dubious, surely we would have noticed the issue way before this!”
Jolly’s expression remained ugly. “Ryan Sutton isn’t a nice guy. In the past,”
At that point, she swallowed the words that she wanted to say due to the kids’ presence.
However, Samuel was quite confused. “Is that man a bad guy? He doesn’t look like one, though.”
In response, Rachel ruffled his hair. “It’s usually impossible to identify bad guys by their looks. Next time, if you meet this man again, stay away from him to keep me and Godmother at ease, alright?”
Although he couldn’t quite understand the reason, he nonetheless nodded.
Meanwhile, Jolly was preoccupied with her thoughts for the entire journey.
Her face was reflected as she kept her eyes on Samuel with a glazed expression from the rearview mirror.
“We’ve arrived.”
It was at that moment wheir car arrived at Jolly’s penthouse apartment located in the town center. Then, Gloria prompted, “Do you want us to accompany you upstairs?”
Suddenly, Jolly responded, “I don’t want to go home anymore.”
“Huh?”
A stunned Gloria clarified, “Then, where are you going to stay?”
Meanwhile, Rachel spoke up, “Are you concerned…”
Concerned about Samuel? Jolly nodded.
“How about this? Why don’t you bring Samuel along with you and stay over at your parents’ place for the time being?”
“I’m worried that he will come over to seek us out directly.”
At that point, Rachel became lost in her thoughts. After all, Ryan and Jolly were originally engaged to be
married, so it was plausible that he might head over to seek them out.
After deliberating about the situation for quite some time, she finally spoke up, “Chris, how about this: I’ll move over to your place temporarily to stay for the next few days.”
“My place? Whereabouts are you talking about?”
“Justin’s house.” Jolly had suddenly found a solution wherein her eyes immediately brightened. “That b*stard, Ryan Sutton, can disregard me, but I’m sure he would be mindful of Justin, right?”
“It’s all sorted, then. Gloria, start the ignition.”
Upon saying that, Jolly fastened her seat belt once again as she finished speaking while the gloomy look she had earlier swiftly dissipated.
Gloria was stunned. “Are you being serious? How can you possibly stay over at Justin’s place?”
