Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 128

They offered me many ideas. By the time I got home, it was already late. Jaylan was waiting for me, eager to know how my day had gone.

Without giving away a thing, I went upstairs, changed into more comfortable clothes, and then leisurely walked back down.

I then nonchalantly played with the kids, leaving this Dawslug frantic with anticipation.

Jaylan was like a fly buzzing around me all evening, until I was dizzy and had a splitting headache.

On top of this, Carl was stubbornly asking for Zora before bed. He even hit me, crying for his 'mommy'. I was his real mother, and I would definitely make him acknowledge that.

After what felt like an eternity, I finally got him to sleep. Exhausted, I retreated to my room, only to find Jaylan freshened up, ready for bed, and looking at me lovingly. I felt nauseous.

I hesitated before approaching the bed. As soon as I did, he lifted the covers and softly asked, "Honey, you're tired, aren't you? Come, rest a bit. You've worked hard."

I snorted dismissively, thinking to myself that I was more than tired.

As soon as I got into bed, he moved closer. I flashed him a cold stare and asked, "What are you up to?"

He tried to snuggle up to me playfully, but I sat up abruptly, "Jaylan, just say what you want to say. Don't try to bribe me!"

Caught off guard, he froze for a moment, but quickly recovered and laughed it off, "Alright, alright, don’t get mad. Come on, lay down... Why are you always so angry?" He tried to coax me into laying down, expressing concern, "I'm just worried about how Gevena feels, you know?"

“Now you're concerned about how others feel? I'm the one taking all the heat, cleaning up your mess, and I still get blamed when I get home. What do you think I am?”

I reluctantly laid down and said, “Sleep in the guest room, don’t disturb my rest.”

“Honey, don't be unreasonable. Married couples don’t sleep in separate beds. You’re almost fully recovered, can't you see how uncomfortable I am? It’s been years since we’ve had a normal…”

“You’re right! But I trust in your abilities. If only your health was better, we could go together. We’d have a better chance of success.” Jaylan flattered.

I almost lost it, knowing how I had gotten sick in the first place. He still had the audacity to say that to me. If I had a knife right now, I would stab him.

But I held back my anger and reminded him, “Gevena said there would be many overseas big buyers at the meeting. Make sure you're well prepared and hire a good interpreter!”

Jaylan quickly reassured me, “Don’t worry about that. We recently hired a senior executive, I've made him the deputy general manager. His is a pro!” He spoke with confidence.

I rolled over and asked, “Can we trust him? This is a rare opportunity. If we mess it up, we’ll lose everything!”

“Don’t worry! He's a returned overseas student. He won’t have too much power!” Jaylan's words rang true.

A small smile tugged at the corner of my mouth. It seemed Logan's plan was working.
