Chapter 10
Jalen did not understand Elaina’s sarcastic smile, but he still said seriously, “She and I are indeed not a good match. Divorce is the best choice.”
Not a good match?
Elaina sneered silently, thinking, we haven’t seen each other for two years after getting married, and how could he make sure we’re not a good match? He probably has not planned to get along well with me from the beginning.
It makes sense. After all, I am from the countryside, and it certainly does not go well with him of excellence.
She glanced at them and snorted, “I feel sad for Mr. Halton’s ex-wife.”
Then she left the ward without looking back, not wanting to stay with them anymore.
She thought he and Marie surely were a match made in heaven.
As soon as she stepped out of the ward, someone chased after her from behind. The tall man stood in front of Elaina. “Are you angry? Because I was married?”
“It’s not about that,” she said. “Whether you are married or not has nothing to do with me. I suppose the one in the ward probably cares more.”
“Why are you talking about Marie? What does it have to do with her?” Jalen was confused and did not understand the meaning of Elaina’s words.
But in Elaina’s opinion, Jalen was angry that she involved Marie. She curled her lips and said, “Very well. Ms. Dunston has nothing to do with it. She should not be involved.”
She thought he was protective of his lover by not allowing her to say anything about Marie.
“Don’t change the topic. Why are you angry?” Jalen asked, staring at Elaina, trying to see through her.
Unfortunately, Elaina had always hidden her emotions very well.
“I’m not angry,” she said. “I just feel sad for your ex-wife. She has already divorced and is still being gossiped about behind her back. It’s a little sad.”
She was unhappy indeed. She guessed probably anyone would be upset with being gossiped about like that.
“I was forced to get married. Marie was just defending me. She didn’t mean anything,” Jalen explained.
Without waiting for Elaina to speak, he continued, “Although I have never seen her, I think she should be nice. She is a good person, but I am not suitable for her.”
After all, she had not caused him any trouble for the past two years. If it were those scheming women, he would not have lived so peacefully.
Unfortunately, Elaina did not look better because of Jalen’s explanation. Her face even darkened more.
She thought, a good person?

So this is the evaluation I got from my two–year marriage?
What a joke. I don’t need Jalen to judge me!
Her face darkened and her tone was cold. “Mr. Halton, you don’t need to tell me this. I am not interested in your privacy.”
She wanted to leave, but Jalen still stopped her.
“Please make way, Mr. Halton. I’m very busy.” She looked up at him with an extremely bad tone.
