Chapter 311
“Are you going to watch Ryan keep sending his men to stalk Samuel and do nothing? Samuel’s the one being stalked now, and he might do the same thing to us next time.” Rachel stared at Justin in silence. Her clear gaze and innocent expression made anyone unable to turn her down.
Justin furrowed his brows. Although Burton Group and Majestic Corp were not in any partnerships, he had met Ryan in several social gatherings before. The fact that Ryan had managed to make his company thrive in just a few years suggested that he was someone intelligent. If he was really coming at Jolly, Rachel would also be affected as she was Samuel’s mother on paper. “Don’t worry. I’ll handle this.”
Rachel’s expression immediately softened. “I’ll say thanks on Samuel’s behalf.”
“Rachel, you know that your gratitude is not what I want.” Justin stared at her with a serious expression. “|| hope that you’ll immediately seek my help whenever you come across any danger in the future, be it a work related or private matter. As for my uncle,”
Pretending not to understand him, Rachel uttered, “I’ll check on Jolly and Gloria before getting the bedsheets in the guest room changed.”
She left the place right after she finished speaking, leaving no chance for Justin to continue his words.
Those from Hudson Pharmaceuticals had been in frequent contact with Jason. As Jason’s nephew, Justin was certainly aware of this. It was understandable that he wanted to stop Rachel from getting into contact with Jason, but she couldn’t obey him whatsoever.
Meanwhile, Gloria and Jolly had already put down their luggage in the guest room. At the moment, they were having a discussion on what to order for dinner.
“Jolly, why are you ordering Surströmming for dinner? Do you want to make the room stink?”
“Look at what you’re ordering. Does Parmesan cheese smell any better?”
“I’ll also add some Brussels sprouts.”
Rachel overheard their conversation as soon as she arrived at the room. The corners of her mouth twitched as she uttered, “What are you two trying to do at this hour?”
“We’re going to have our dinner,” they said in unison. Not only were they in sync, they also spoke in an unabashed manner.
Gloria uttered, “We haven’t had our dinner either.”
“That’s right. We were unable to eat anything because of that incident.” Jolly waved her hand. “No more arguments. Dinner is on me.”
A helpless Rachel said, “Please stop messing around. If you’re really going to order the food you just mentioned, the entire house will stink since we always close the doors and windows at night.”
Then, she rolled up her sleeves. “I’ll prepare dinner for you.”
Jolly pretended to be bashful. “There’s no need for that. It’s very late.”
“It won’t be just for the two of you; Samuel and Charlotte haven’t had anything as well. I’ll prepare some noodles for everyone.”
“Alright.” Jolly became energized instantly. “I want two poached eggs on my noodles. One of them should be fully cooked and the other has to be half-cooked.”
“What about you, Gloria?”
“I’ll have some tomatoes and eggs on my noodles. I don’t like heavy food, so please cut down on the salt.”
“Alright, I’ll get them prepared for you guys right now.”
Rachel took a glance at Gloria, who got her hint and took Jolly’s arm. “Let’s go down as well. It’s so boring up here.”
“Just head down on your own. Why are you making me go with you?”
“I can’t take care of two kids by myself, you know.”
“Justin will also be downstairs.”
“A man like him doesn’t know how to take care of kids. Come with me right now! Aren’t you their godmother?”
