The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 571

Rachel sighed and asked, “Jolly, aren’t you afraid that you’ll be laughed upon when the others find out that you’re jealous of your goddaughter?”

“But I’m his daughter.”

“Alright. But are Richard and Marilyn still mad at you?” Rachel stopped teasing her and asked Jolly about her and Leroy while they were setting up the barbeque station.

“Although the marriage between the Bennett Family and Frazier Family wasn’t announced to the public, your parents knew what was going on. Moreover, you guys even bought Carmen back. Do you think that they would be happy about it?”

“Then what can I do? We can’t just ditch her.”

“That’s not the issue. It’s about your relationship with Leroy,” Rachel said as she looked into the distance.

Carmen was seen standing in the lake barefooted as she played with two of the children. Although she was already in her 20s, she always had a childlike smile on his face.

“At Enistan, even if the couple doesn’t register for marriage, they would be considered legally married as long as the wedding is held and witnessed by relatives and friends on both sides.”

“Why do you care about this?”

“I’m not particular about it. To be frank, none of us care about it except your parents.” Rachel tried to explain.

“Then do you think I can go back in time to call off the wedding? What’s done is done. Since it is a rule from Enistan, it doesn’t apply here in Riverdale.”

“Jolly, I think you should go visit a neurologist.” Rachel stared at Jolly.

“Huh?”

“I agree.” Gloria, who was standing next to them, rolled her eyes. “Miss Rachel had already made it clear, but you still can’t get it?”

“What is it?”

“You yourself said that the rules in Enistan don’t apply here, then you and Leroy should follow the rules in Riverdale!”

Worried that the slow-witted Jolly couldn’t understand what they meant, she asked Jolly more specifically, “When are both of you planning to get registered for marriage?”

Hearing that, Jolly was surprised as getting married had never crossed her mind.

“Rachel, I’ve told you that she’d never have thought about it. All she could think of was eating and having fun.”

Seeing that, Rachel shook her head helplessly.

Even though Jolly had finally realized the problem, there was something that she couldn’t figure out. “If my parents wanted me and Leroy to get married, why didn’t they tell me directly?”

“Since they were initially against both of you being together, do you think that they would suddenly urge the both of you to get married? The elders would find it embarrassing to have to eat their words. How would they be able to mention it if you don’t come up with an opportunity for them to do so?”

Jolly finally made sense of the situation.

“And you were blaming it on the andropause. Even if your dad had a bad temper as he went through andropause, it was all because of you.”

“Alright. Stop nagging at me.”

“And you thought that you were smart. If not for our help, do you think you would have gotten married that easily? I bet you’d be single all your life.” Jolly shot a glare at Gloria.

“Hmph. I see you’re the type that gets jealous easily.”

“I’m not jealous of you.”

Rachel’s head hurt as Jolly and Gloria started bantering. Given the circumstances, it seemed like there was no hope for Richard to recover from his ‘andropause’ in the short term.

Meanwhile, Justin and Leroy were starting a fire on the side. “I haven’t thanked you for helping me and Jolly escape from the wedding earlier.”
