Falling For My Mysterious Wife by Cassidy Alfaro novel Chapter 131

Chapter 131

Jalen nodded. He raised the knife and cut the tomato in his hand into thin slices. His skill was no worse than a five-star chef’s.

Elaina felt as if she saw a different Jalen.

“Surprised?”

Seeing that she did not speak, Jalen turned to look at her. Elaina was still in shock.

“When I was young, I grew up with my grandfather. Back then, he was busy managing the company and had no time to take care of me. Although there were maids at home, I was young, and my grandfather was rarely at home, so they often did not give me food, and I slowly learned to cook.”

He knew from a very young age that he had to rely on himself, so he studied hard and learned all the life skills in order to live better.

It was the first time Elaina heard Jalen talk about these things, and she was interested. “Where were your parents? Were they not at home?”

Jalen straightened his back, and his face became gloomy. “They divorced a long time ago. My dad left to pursue love. My mom couldn’t stand the blow and committed suicide.”

She died in front of Jalen.

Jalen slept very early that day, and he was very happy that his mom shared the bed with him.

However, he did not expect that when he woke up in the middle of the night and tried to burrow in his mother’s arms, what he touched would be a cold body.

It was dark in the room. Little Jalen did not know what had happened. He just kept calling his mother, but there was no response.

When his crying alarmed his grandfather downstairs and the lights in the room turned on, Jalen saw his mother’s face, which had already lost its color.

Since that day, he began to fear the darkness. He always felt that darkness would bring bad things.

Of course, he would not tell anyone about these things. Elaina was no exception.

He did not need anyone’s sympathy.
