Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 317

Following Camilla's address, I easily found their home. I had to say, despite this being a home Jerome had swapped for later, it was already considered an old neighborhood.

I recalled what Hannah told me two nights ago. The address where Jaylan used to meet with Jerome was in such a tranquil and elegant place. The contrast between there and here was like heaven and hell.

Jerome was really something, treating his wife and daughter like this. He was truly a model of heartlessness. Who could forget how Camilla had fallen out with her own family? I certainly didn't. The memory was still fresh in my mind.

Hannah pulled out two large bags of gifts from the trunk we had picked up on our way, and we started towards the building. I wondered if Camilla knew about Jerome's actions.

Reaching their door, I knocked. A soft, youthful voice came from inside, clearly a young girl.

"Who is it?"

"Fidelia, it's me, Aaliyah!" I responded gently.

The sound of the door being unlocked quickly came from inside. She was clearly excited.

The door opened, and I saw Fidelia, whom I hadn't seen in many years.

Honestly, the young girl looked a bit like my daughter Monique. The Dawsons all had good looks, and so did Fidelia. She was very pretty with shining eyes and sexy lips.

She was taller than Monique, standing at the entrance with a shy look in her eyes, full of astonishment, excitement, and a hint of confusion.

She carefully called out, "Aunt Aaliyah!"

I smiled kindly, "Fidelia, it's been too long!"

I stepped forward, and she quickly stepped back to let me in, "Please come in, Aunt Aaliyah!"

I took another step forward, put my arm around her shoulder, and walked in together.

"Are you home alone?" I asked as I looked around their place.

The place was quite spacious and decently decorated. Although the design was clearly a few years old, it was very clean and orderly. Camilla had done a great job maintaining it.

"Mom will be back soon!" Fidelia looked up at me, smiling contentedly. "Aunt Aaliyah, make yourself at home!"
