The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 512

Rachel was always concerned about her friends as she would do everything she could to take care of them.

After Justin left Riverdale, he was most worried that she would be distressed over Jolly and Leroy’s affairs. After all, no one could make any predictions when it came to love, and her concerns might do more harm than good..

They were considered outsiders, after all. All they could do was reduce the criticism against Jolly and Leroy while protecting their privacy.

After the meal was delivered, Justin said to Frankie, “It’s getting late now. Go back and get some rest. You can continue working tomorrow.”

“It’s fine. I still have some documents to go through. I still have to work even if I go home, so I’ll just stay here a while longer.” As soon as Frankie finished speaking, his phone started ringing. He took a glance at it and hung it up. Justin asked, “Was it your wife?”

“Yes.” Frankie scratched his head bashfully. “Go home now and call your wife and daughter. Don’t always hang up on her. Conflicts can easily arise as you’re in a long-distance relationship with her.”

Frankie replied, “It’s fine. She’s an easy-going person. She’s just worried that I can’t get used to life in the north.” Justin uttered, “It must be tough for you to come here with me.”

“What are you talking about, President Burton? I’ve been working for you for years, and you’ve been treating me well.”

Frankie started working for Justin after he graduated, and they had been through thick and thin over the years. Although he was Justin’s subordinate on paper, they were actually best friends. Therefore, even though he was given a better offer by Julian, he steadfastly decided to follow Justin to the north. Just then, Frankie’s phone started ringing again, and Justin urged him to go home.

“I’ll take my leave, then.”

“Alright.”

As soon as Frankie reached the door, Justin suddenly called out to him and said, “Frankie, it won’t take long before we’ll go back to Riverdale, Tell your wife and child to rest assured.”

Frankie was startled for a moment, then his eyes were slightly covered in tears. Solemnly, he said, “I believe you.”

Regardless of what predicaments they faced, he had the confidence that Justin would lead them to solve all the problems. They would definitely go back to Riverdale one day.

After Frankie was gone, Justin removed the wrapper around the pizza. He started having his meal while looking at the photos sent to him by Rachel. The table lamp cast a layer of softness on his usually cold-looking face.

Soon, it was the day of the birthday party on the weekend. In the morning, Rachel urged Jolly to quickly prepared herself outside the bathroom.

“Can I not attend?” “You have to come with me. I’m worried that I’ll come home and find you unconscious after consuming too much alcohol.”

“Do I look like such a fragile person to you?” Jolly’s voice was heard coming from the bathroom. “We broke up a long time ago, and I’ve gotten over it.”

“I’m glad that you’ve gotten over it. I’ve prepared some clothes for you. Get changed and put on some proper makeup.”

“Are you saying that my makeup is usually tacky?”

Ten minutes later, Jolly got changed and came out of the bathroom. Rachel gazed at her with satisfaction. “That’s great. You finally look like a godmother now.”

“Can’t I look like a mother?”

“A mother would never wear a dress and head out with the kids.”

“Why?”

“Have you forgotten what happened after I told you to take care of Samuel for one day when he was two years old? You were wearing a dress that day.”

“Hi. I’m Charlotte’s mom, and she’s her godmother.”

Rachel caught herself as she was unable to speak any further. She was unable to put on a smile as she pursed her lips and subconsciously took a glance at Jolly.

On the other hand, Jolly’s smile froze as well upon seeing the figure standing behind Freddie’s mother.

The last time they met the woman, they were in Sutton Manor. The meet-up turned out to be ugly for everyone while the woman watched on the side and hoped for the situation to exacerbate.

“It’s been a long time.” The woman beside Freddie’s mother soon came to her senses as she examined Rachel and Jolly. “It’s such a small world. I didn’t expect to see you here.”

A puzzled Freddie’s mother asked, “What’s wrong, Estelle? Do you know them?”

Rachel pressed her lips into a line, then said in a tone that was filled with mixed feelings, “We’re just acquaintances; I’ve only met her once,”

“We know each other pretty well, though,” Jolly uttered impassively and flashed a smile at the woman in front of her. Her gaze was filled with contempt. “Am I right, Mrs. Sutton?”

The woman’s expression changed when she heard the other party calling her in such a disdainful way.

Who could have expected Freddie’s aunt to be Estelle, Ryan’s former wife?

They initially thought that they would never meet this woman again as they had nothing to do with each other anymore, but it so happened that they came across her over the weekend.

Is it a coincidence? Rachel balled up her fists.
