Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 53

At that moment, I felt utterly helpless. I couldn't let things continue this way, I had to find Addrion to uncover the truth. I refused to believe he was someone who would cheat.

Just as I was pondering, my old cellphone rang. Glancing at the screen, I saw it was Jaylan calling.

Apparently, Jesper had already tipped him off.

I composed myself and cleared my throat before answering, "Hey, darling!"

"Honey, where are you? Why are you out? Can you handle it?" His voice was laced with concern, gentle and soft.

"I was bored at home so I decided to catch some fresh air. I didn't have anywhere in particular to go, so I went to the office, but you weren't there!" I tried to sound casual, "Jesper said you were at the Harbor, so I thought I'd come find you."

"I'm already on my way back. Where are you?" he asked, "Or should I come to you?"

"I'm on my way," I said truthfully, trying to avoid him tracking my car, "If you're busy, I'll head home. I've been out for a while and I'm feeling a bit tired."

"Alright, just drive carefully. I'll be home soon too," he replied in a way that suggested he was worried I might stay out too late.

"Okay, I'll go straight home then."

After hanging up, I turned on my Bluetooth and dialed Logan while driving, asking him to help locate Addrion.

As soon as I got home, Jaylan arrived, carrying a bag of my favorite chestnuts.

"You're home early. I just got here!" I said, sinking into the sofa, "I thought you said you'd be a while."

"I was going to go to the hospital but the person I needed to see wasn't there, so I came straight home." He studied my face, "You're getting better each day, you can even drive now!"

"What nonsense. Just a short drive and my legs are jelly. If I don't start exercising soon, I'll be a wreck. Doctors these days are so incompetent, they can't find out what's wrong with me." I complained, pointing at the bag of chestnuts, "I want some!"

Jaylan obediently sat next to me, opened the bag, and started peeling some chestnuts. I frowned at him, "Did you wash your hands?"
