Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 200

The kind of smile Clara had when she said that was full of sarcasm. The way she looked at me was as if she was piercing through the facade I was hiding behind. Her expression was telling me one thing- she was calling me a hypocrite.

“I admit that I’m envious, I’m discontented, and I don’t want to face the fact that my husband has a child outside our marriage,” I confessed, “But I genuinely care for that child. After all, I have children of my own. I know how terrified they would be, being taken away so suddenly...” I couldn't finish my sentence, murmuring, “Why would he do that?”

“Jaylan’s initial intention was simple. He wanted to end the chaos on the internet as quickly as possible. His biggest fear was that someone would use the child to sow discord between you two, and force him into a DNA test!” Clara looked at me, her tone confident.

“A DNA test?” I asked.

“Exactly,” Clara nodded. “That night, he came home very late, drunk, his eyes bloodshot,” Clara mused, recalling the night.

“Which night?”

Clara thought for a moment. “It should be the day you went to the office to deny the rumors to the press! The day you went to Silverdale City. Jaylan complained that you went to Silverdale City without telling him. It was a bad sign. Yes, that day! He said in frustration, ‘She is not the docile woman people see. She is not someone to be manipulated. It's all an act!”

I scoffed, “It seems Jaylan finally sees me correctly!”

Clara continued, “That day, Zora was delighted to see him at our place. Jaylan said you had left for Silverdale City! Zora even teased Jaylan. Jaylan was distressed, so Zora took him to their room.”

“Looks like Zora has earned her place by Jaylan's side!” I snorted, “So, how did you find out that Jaylan let Zora take the child away? Do they know you know about it?”

“No!” Clara said confidently.

“Are you sure?”

“Yes!” Clara responded with a disdainful sneer, “Even though Zora watches me like a hawk, I have my ways.”
