Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 24

On the car, the nanny Catherine brought with her took immediate charge of Carl, bombarding him with a plethora of intriguing toys. Carl's attention was instantly hooked, his 'Mommy' long forgotten in the back of his mind.

Catherine, on the other hand, scooped me into her arms, scrutinizing me from head to toe. Seeing my pale face, her eyes instantly reddened, and she asked in a worried tone, "Allie, are you okay?"

Suppressing my own emotions, I nodded emphatically, not daring to speak. If I opened my mouth, I would break down.

Indeed, after the series of actions just now, I felt completely drained, my body trembling, my heart pounding so hard that I had difficulty breathing.

At this moment, I felt as though I had narrowly escaped death.

Picking up on my distress, Catherine pulled me into her arms, gently stroking my back without saying a word.

After a while, I felt my breathing become more steady. It was then that I noticed that the man driving us was the same repairman who had repaired our electricity a few days ago.

Seeing me looking at him, Catherine hurriedly introduced him, "This is Ronan's cousin, Logan Monahan. Allie, he's a well-known private investigator!"

Logan glanced at me through the rear-view mirror, a mischievous smile playing on his lips, causing my cheeks to redden.

I was slightly taken aback as I looked at Logan, giving him a nod of acknowledgment. Seeing him reminded me of the expression on his face when he had taken the condom filled with medicine; it was a scene of sheer embarrassment.

I didn't expect him to be a private investigator, no wonder he was so quick-witted.

"Thank you, Mr. Monahan!" Despite the awkwardness, I expressed my sincere gratitude.

"Nah, don't worry about it. Besides, I dare not disobey Catherine's orders. I make my living because of Catherine!" To my surprise, Logan turned out to be quite the joker.

Catherine raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "At least you have a conscience!"

"I don't dare to mess with you; you're the real boss! The problem is I can't stand your relentless calls, you don't give me a moment's peace." Logan complained.

Ignoring Logan's complaints, Catherine sobered up and explained her arrangements to me.
