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.
