The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 521

“Do you have a fever?”

The voice before Rachel came to her ears, pulling her back from her thoughts. She suddenly regained her senses and took a half step back in a panic. “Nope… I-I’m just feeling a bit hot here.”

As she said that, she fanned her face.

Hot?

Although there was no winter in Enistan, spring had just passed, and it was not the hottest time of the year, not to mention that the air conditioner was still on in this room.

Facing Justin’s doubtful gaze, Rachel panicked. “I’ll go back and talk to Jolly first.” With that, she turned to open the door.

“Rachel.” Justin’s voice came from behind. “I’ll ask you to come downstairs for dinner later.” “Okay.” Rachel had no time to look back and simply left in a hurry, leaving only the word ‘okay’ echoing at the door.

Justin held the door, looked at the figure walking away in the corridor, and smiled. As soon as Rachel returned to the room, Jolly poked her head around the sofa and quipped, “What took you so long? What did you do just now?”

“Ah? It’s nothing. I went to the front desk to go through the procedures for changing rooms.”

“Are we going to change rooms?”

“It’s not us. It’s me. I’m afraid that Mrs. Bennett will send someone to give us the wedding invitation card and that person will find out that Justin and I are separated and that I’m staying with you. When the time comes, they will investigate, and things will be difficult to handle.”

“Wait a minute.” Jolly straightened up. “What you mean is that you-”

Jolly stretched out a finger at Rachel and pointed at her face. “Do you want to stay in the same room with Justin?”

Rachel shoved her hand away. “It’s not what you think; it’s all for you and Leroy’s sake.”

Jolly raised his brows, obviously in disbelief. “You’re both single and staying in the same room. Are you sure sparks won’t fly?”

“If you say one more word, I won’t change the rooms anymore. Anyway, Mrs. Bennett’s men will find out that we have been with you all the way. Don’t have any strange ideas. If we can’t bring back Leroy, you’ll be the upset one.”

“I was wrong.” In front of Rachel, Jolly always played meek, so she immediately came up with a submissive look. “I’m just talking nonsense.. Don’t be angry, okay?”

Rachel didn’t actually want to find fault with her. “By the way, why don’t you come downstairs for dinner later? Or do you want me to bring you food?”

“I’m not going. You can just eat with him. You have made such a big sacrifice to change rooms; how can I go with you? Will I just be a hindrance? We’ll just contact each other by phone these days. Don’t mind me.”

Rachel looked at Jolly and sighed. “Don’t think too much. It’s just for a few days. If all goes well, Leroy will come back with us when we leave.”

“Then what if he really falls in love with that woman and doesn’t want to come with us?”

“Then, I’ll slap him for you.”

“It’s a promise.” Jolly hugged Rachel. “I knew you were my best friend.”

“It’s hot. Let me go.”

“I won’t.”

“Get off me.”

“Are you in a hurry to find Justin?”

“Jolly!”

“Okay, okay. I was wrong. I won’t say it anymore.”
