The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 394

Chapter 394 A Quarrel Between Best Friends

“Ow!” Jolly yelped, then narrowed her eyes at Rachel. “You pinched…” Before Jolly uttered ‘me’, Rachel’s stern eyes frightened her, so she obediently kept her mouth shut.

“You haven’t eaten yet, right? There’s a bag in the back with sandwiches and drinks.” Julian’s voice sounded from the front. Rachel immediately responded, “Thank you.”

Jolly’s expression suddenly changed as she glared at Rachel in dissatisfaction. Then, she flipped through the paper bag of food, and she held a sandwich and milk tea in one hand each. “Julian, you’re so meticulous in everything you do. Won’t any woman who marries you be eternally happy? Don’t you think so, Chris?”

Jolly was a grudge holder, and she held a grudge for being pinched in the thigh.

Rachel was helpless. “Of course. Julian has always been an excellent person.”

“Not only is he professionally excellent, but he’s also very good at relationships. After five to six years, even stones can be worn by water droplets. Don’t you think human hearts will be tempted too? Julian, I remember there were tons of people pursuing you when you were abroad. Why didn’t you fall for any of them? Perhaps it was my fault, too, for always leaving Samuel in your care.”

Jolly talked a lot today, and Rachel frowned whenever she spoke.

There were certain things she couldn’t say in front of Julian, so she could only take out her phone and send a message to Jolly. ‘Have you lost your mind? What nonsense are you talking about?’

Jolly deliberately ignored the message when she received it as she carried on eating the sandwich, biting as if she was biting a person.

Julian said, “We’re still far from Triburg Valley. If you girls are tired, you can sleep for a while. I’ll call you when we arrive.”

Rachel nodded. “Okay. If you’re tired, I can take the next shift for driving.”

Jolly rolled her eyes at Rachel and leaned against the chair before falling asleep.

Rachel was baffled by her actions.

It was already dark by the time they drove from Riverdale to Triburg Valley.

When they arrived at the parking lot of the old town, a few people came down to help them carry their luggage.

“Miss Rachel!”

From a distance, Gloria and Victor brought the two children over to greet them.

Rachel waved at them.

“Mommy!” Charlotte rushed up at once and threw herself into Rachel’s arms. “Mommy. What took you so long? Samuel, Aunt Gloria, and I have been here for a long time!”

Charlotte and Samuel had been living with Gloria lately, so they came with Gloria and Victor.

Rachel explained, “There was a bit of a traffic jam on the road. I guess many people came to Triburg Valley because it’s the weekend.”

Gloria said, “I understand. But, Miss Rachel, I need to tell you something.”

“What is it?”

“I invited Justin over too.”

Rachel was slightly startled, but before she could speak, Jolly’s voice suddenly rang out from behind as she fumed, “Who chose this place? It’s almost winter, and there are mosquitoes. It doesn’t make any sense at all!”

Rachel frowned.

“Miss Carter, why don’t you return now? So you can still make it back to the villa.” Victor was a little slow to react, and he even complained, “You brought quite a lot of things.”

He cast a sympathetic glance toward Julian when he saw the trunk full of stuff. “Dr. Peters, who did you help with moving?”

Before Julian could speak, Jolly threw Victor a bag, slamming it right into his chest. “Why do you have so much to say? Carry this.”

Victor was puzzled. “What’s with you?”

Gloria frowned and was about to say something, but Rachel stopped her. “Ignore her.”

The others didn’t know, but Rachel did.

Jolly was close to Julian, and she had always felt that Rachel should be with Julian, so whether she was joking or being serious, she would always lean toward Julian.

However, she had never seen Jolly have such a huge reaction before.
