Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 319

Tension flickered in her eyes as she heard my question. She cast a nervous glance at me and hesitantly admitted, "I did ask once, but he blew up, saying it was none of my business. So I didn't dare to ask again."

"Why are you so afraid of him?" I chuckled, looking at Camilla. "As his wife, isn't it natural for you to ask?"

"Well... it's not that I'm afraid of him exactly. I just feel that he is a grown man, and he should know his boundaries for what he does. Too many questions could lead to disputes, and I'd be the one to suffer."

"Has he... ever laid a hand on you?" I ventured to ask.

She was quick to deny, "No, never! He may be a bit stubborn at times, but he never hit me."

After saying this, Camilla looked at me with a hint of suspicion. "Did something happen to him?"

I hastily denied, "No, I was just asking out of curiosity."

"Oh..." she responded with an awkward laugh. "He's a free spirit, always doing as he pleases. No one can really control him, not even his own parents."

I nodded in agreement. For a daughter-in-law in the Dawson family, this was a common topic.

"Speaking of which, Jaylan is no better!" I said, trying to create a bond with her.

"But he's much better than his older brother. He treats you well and is dutiful to his parents," Camilla praised.

Hearing her admiration, I couldn't help but wonder. Considering their collusion, could she really be oblivious to their schemes?

Treating me well? He was treating all women well except for me. He was always putting on airs of elegance and aloofness, yet easily surrendering at the sight of a woman.
