The Silent Wife

Chapter 290

Because of how excited she was that she would soon see Gloria again, Rachel didn’t realize what Jolly was thinking. After all, Gloria ranked among the rare few who were nice to her all those years ago.

Very soon, Saturday arrived.

The performance was being held at the Jubilee Theater.

“What’s she up to? Surely she must have returned beforehand if she was going to hold a performance here. Why hasn’t she gotten in contact with you before?” Jolly complained on the way there.

“Maybe she feels pressured,” Rachel answered. “There are many things to get ready before a performance. Keeping calm is more important.”

“And you even got her flowers,” Jolly grumbled as she glanced at Rachel’s hands. “/’ve never received any flowers from you.”

“Have you lost your memory?” Rachel rolled her eyes. “Didn’t I give you flowers when you graduated?”

“They weren’t as pretty as this!” Jolly muttered with dissatisfaction. Upon finding her path down the row of seats blocked by two legs, she snapped, “Excuse me, can’t you see that someone wants to pass? Do you think you bought the whole row?”

“Godmother!”

Taken aback to hear the familiar voice, Jolly looked up to see two small figures sitting two seats over.

Charlotte and Samuel?

Does that mean the person blocking my path is…

As she glanced out of the corner of her eye, she was met with a cold face.

At this juncture, Justin pulled his legs back. Indeed, he hadn’t meant to block her path. His legs were simply too long. However, because the space between the rows of seats was too narrow, he gave up and stood. Instantly, he towered over Jolly by a head.

Unwilling to admit defeat, Jolly looked up at him. “Are you haunting Rachel? Why are you here?”

Using her own words on her, he replied, “Do you think you bought the whole place?”

The moment Justin said that, Samuel put his hand to his forehead, feeling speechless.

No matter who Justin offended, he wasn’t to offend the best friend of the woman he was interested in. Best friends were only a smidgen below future mothers-in-law. Didn’t Justin know that? There was truly no helping him.
