The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 498

“Yeah.”

“Alright, I’ll let them know.”

After hanging up, Justin looked at the people in front of him. Rachel, Gloria, Victor, Hernandez, and the kids were present. Only Jolly was still contacting her friends on the balcony about the flowers for the wedding.

“Ryan said he’ll be coming over tomorrow.”

“Isn’t he hospitalized?” The news stumped Rachel. “Yeah.” Gloria was surprised as well. “Why does he want to come?”

“He happened to have learned of our flower crisis and managed to get a guy. The flowers will be delivered tomorrow. He said to consider it as his wedding gift to Gloria.”

Gloria and Victor exchanged glances with each other, unsure what to say. Rachel, on the other hand, felt that something didn’t add up. “How did Ryan learn of this?”

Justin glanced toward the balcony where Jolly was still making her calls.

Clearly, Jolly had called many of her friends, and Ryan knew almost all her friends in Riverdale. As such, it wasn’t surprising if he got word of it. Rachel furrowed her brows, also unsure of what to say for a moment.

After returning from making her calls, Jolly slumped onto the couch and sat next to Gloria. “I can’t believe it! Does no one operate during Springfest?! I’ve already offered triple the price, yet I still can’t find anyone!”

“Actually, it’s not all hopeless.” Rachel hesitated for quite some time. “Ryan called and said he managed to get a guy.”

“He did what?” Jolly was stumped.

“It’s okay, we don’t need his help.” Gloria stepped in at once. ‘It’s just a wedding, and it’s no big deal if we don’t have any flowers. We’ll just use something else to decorate the place.”

While speaking, she gave Victor a nudge with. her elbow, and he got her instantly. “Yeah, we’re not finicky about this.”

“Why should we turn him down?” Jolly glanced. at the soon-to-be-married couple. “We can’t find any on our side, so why say no when it’s being delivered right to our doorstep?! Why are your guys looking at me like that? It’s his wedding. gift to Gloria, so what does it have to do with me? He saved us the trouble by managing to get the flowers, didn’t he?”

Everyone was surprised by Jolly’s indifference except Rachel, who was smiling with her head lowered. Jolly had never been perfunctory when it came to her friends. Yes, she wanted nothing to do with Ryan, but they were in a moment of crisis, weren’t they?

The flowers arrived the next morning along with Ryan, who had lost much weight-probably due to his illness. He even looked somewhat frail under his black coat. After getting down from his car, he greeted Justin and the gang.

Meanwhile, the wedding planning team had arrived as well and were setting up the wedding. venue. More than that, most of Gloria’s orchestra friends from abroad had also arrived and were all staying in the summer villa. It sure was a lively morning.

“Just because you’re gifting Gloria flowers doesn’t mean you have to come yourself.” Jolly treated Ryan in an ungracious manner as soon as she saw him. “Do you think you’re invincible?”

To that, Ryan said, “I’ve come out for some fresh air since it’s a little stuffy in the hospital. Don’t worry, I won’t stay for long.”

“Sure as hell you won’t. Were you planning to only leave after lunch?”

Justin had thought about being polite and asking Ryan to stay for lunch. But now that Jolly had put it that way, he said nothing about it anymore.

Meanwhile, Rachel smoothed things over. “Jolly’s just joking. You have to stay for lunch when you’ve done us a huge favor.”

Jolly didn’t refute, and just as Ryan was about to say yes, the sound of a roaring engine came from the front of the villa. The next second, a white sports car pulled over in front of everyone.

The man who came out of the car was wearing a white sweater, and he removed his sunglasses to reveal a handsome face.

Jolly’s eyes lit up in response. “Leroy!” she exclaimed as she dashed to the man.

The way Leroy spread his arms to catch Jolly was so tenderly affectionate that the girls from the orchestra all watched with envy-even Hernandez got jealous. On the other hand, Ryan’s gaze sharpened.
