The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 560

“Jolly! Why are you here? Didn’t you go to Europe?”

Rachel couldn’t believe that Jolly, who had been missing for some time, appeared in front of her as if she had fallen from the sky.

“We did, but we went back to Enistan because we were worried about you guys when we heard that something happened back there after a few days of being there. We still didn’t hear anything about you at all. We didn’t know what happened until we returned to Riverdale.”

“You even went back to Enistan? Have you guys gone crazy?!”

“Don’t worry. Things were a little unexpected, but Leroy and I are safe now. I will explain to you later.”

“Is Leroy here as well? Where is he?”

“He is outside.”

Following Jolly’s gaze, Rachel looked outside the French windows of the homestay, and suddenly saw a man and a woman standing in front of a stall selling lollipops that was set up in front of a shop across the street.

Surprised, she asked, “Isn’t that…

“Carmen Frazier? The beloved daughter of the Grandeur Group?”

Justin seemed slightly startled as well upon hearing that before he looked outside.

At this moment, Leroy and Carmen were standing in front of the stall that sold lollipops outside.

“Which one do you want? I’ll buy it for you.”

“The orange-flavored one is delicious. The strawberry one is good, too. Let me think about it.”

Even though the woman who had a simple ponytail and was dressed in jeans overalls was in her twenties, she looked as innocent as a lamb with her waist bent, her face almost sticking to the glass cabinet where the lollipops were sold. Her eyes were wide as she watched the lollipops intently.

“Excuse me.” Leroy smiled helplessly. “We will take both.”

“No, no.” Carmen quickly waved her hand in rejection. “Leroy, I can’t eat two.”

“Don’t worry about it. You can take your time with them.”

She still shook her head, but after hesitating for a long minute, her eyes suddenly lit up when she suddenly thought of something. “Right! We can buy two, and give one of it to Jolly!”

The stall owner looked at her stunned, but after coming to his senses, he had sympathy in his eyes as he bagged the lollipops and handed it to Leroy.

“Thank you!” Carmen cheered with a sweet smile on her face.

Rachel and the rest of them came out of the homestay right then.

As soon as Carmen saw Jolly, she immediately hopped over. “Jolly! Leroy bought me lollipops! What flavor do you want? We have an orange and a strawberry one. I’ll let you pick.”

Hearing that, Jolly resignedly cooed, “You can go ahead and eat it first. I won’t eat it now.”

“I won’t eat either then. I will eat with you.”

Leroy came up from behind and said hello to Rachel and Justin as the women talked.

It was only then did Carmen see them behind Jolly. She then tilted her head and looked at the small group with curious eyes.

“Carmen, this is Chris and Justin. They are both Leroy’s and my friends,” Jolly introduced.

As realization hit Carmen, she quickly greeted, “Hello!”

“Hello, Miss Frazier.” Rachel returned the greeting with a start.

Carmen then waved her lollipop around and said, “You can just call me Carmen.”

Rachel and Justin exchanged glances when they heard her words.

That’s weird, they thought simultaneously.

Jolly, too, had a complicated expression on her face. “I will tell you later.”

Jolly then raised her eyebrows slightly as she added, “It is not like we are dumb.”

The corners of Rachel’s mouth twitched when she heard that. “I have never seen a kidnapper catering to their hostage,” she mused.

Even though Carmen wasn’t mentally sound, Rachel could tell that she was a kind lady who was easy to get along with.

The only worry was what was going to happen in the future.

It was something Rachel didn’t want to think too deeply into for now.

However, she and her friends had gone through so many ups and downs, and had even cheated death. There was nothing that they were afraid of at this point.

“By the way, I haven’t asked, but how did you know we were in Somerset Mountain?”

“Take a guess.”

“How am I supposed to guess something like this?”

Rachel stopped Jolly from pouring tea. “Don’t keep me guessing. Spill!”

“Nope.”

“It was Officer Hawkins, wasn’t it?” A deep, rumbling voice of a man rang out from beside.

Justin had casually brought up Janice, which made Rachel freeze.

Jolly was as surprised as Rachel was. “How did you know?” she sputtered.

“Rae came to Somerset Mountain by herself. I didn’t tell anyone about my guess that she was here, and you couldn’t possibly know Mr. Hudson and the others. Officer Hawkins was probably the only other person who knows about Rae’s whereabouts.”

Even though Rachel and Janice had an inexplicable relationship, Justin already knew that Rachel must have informed Janice that she was here once she had calmed down even though she had come to Somerset Mountain on impulse, lest Janice couldn’t reach her when needed.

“Hold up. Why is this about Mr. Hudson?” Jolly questioned.
