Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 256

Clearly, Jaylan had seen enough of Renata’s foolishness and decided he was no longer going to humor her.

I must admit, I was taken aback by his reaction. Renata, too, seemed unprepared for Jaylan’s abrupt dismissal. Her face alternated pale, indicating her indecision.

Jaylan turned to Jesper, his voice holding a meaningful tone, “Jesper, take Ms. Renata home, she seems to have had a bit too much to drink.”

Jesper responded promptly, “Sure.”

He got up and walked over to Renata, extending his hand, “Ms. Renata, let me take you home.”

Renata, however, dodged Jesper and kept her gaze fixed on Jaylan, her eyes brimming with unshed tears. She maintained her composure as she said, “Mr. Dawson, I beg your pardon… I didn’t drink at all, how could I possibly be drunk…”

“Ms. Renata, a wise person knows when to advance and when to retreat,” Jaylan spoke, intending to leave, but Renata grabbed his arm.

“I only wanted her to have a drink. You're so protective of her! What about me? I came here for you today, and I am the hostess today. I…”

“Enough!” Jaylan cut her off, shaking her hand off his arm and glared at her, “Take care of yourself!”

Renata stubbornly clung to Jaylan’s arm, “Don’t leave!”

Jaylan glanced around, coldly shook off Renata’s grip, and turned to Jesper, “What are you waiting for? Take her home!”

Jesper, realizing the situation was escalating, grabbed Renata by her slim arm, causing her to yelp, “You're hurting me! What are you doing?”

Everyone’s attention was drawn to Jesper’s hand gripping Renata’s arm.

Behind Jesper's glasses, his eyes were icy, menacing. It was the first time I had seen such a terrifying side of him.

When everyone turned to look, his face instantly resumed its usual polite demeanor, even appearing somewhat helpless towards Renata, but his grip on her arm didn’t loosen.

I was utterly confused!
