Chapter 190
In Elaina’s mind, Jalen was never a soft-hearted person.
Jalen was silent for a moment. He understood the meaning behind Elaina’s words. Jalen continued, “I will submit evidence of Alisha hiring a murderer, but the Stein family will help her, so I speculate that she won’t be put in jail.”
“If you want to deal with someone, will there be no way?” Elaina chuckled. She felt that Jalen was looking for excuses.
“Ella, I didn’t tell you about my childhood. Are you interested?” Jalen suddenly spoke and looked at
Elaina as if he was lost in his memories.
Elaina didn’t know why Jalen suddenly mentioned this. She thought Jalen was trying to change the topic. Elaina was angry, but she couldn’t refuse.
Because Elaina was interested in Jalen’s past.
Back then, Jalen’s father had eloped with Saul’s mother, leaving Jalen and his mother behind. At that time, Jalen was still very young, but he could also detect the changes in his family.
Jalen was very sensible and did not ask anything. He studied hard every day, wanting to make his mother happy with good scores.
But in the end, it was meaningless. Jalen’s mother still committed suicide late at night, leaving Jalen alone.
The reason why Jalen was afraid of the darkness was also that when he woke up, he faced his mother’s corpse which had completely lost its temperature.
Therefore, whenever the darkness came, Jalen felt that something bad would happen, and he would be very scared.
After Jalen’s mother passed away, Nitzan took him to the Halton’s old house to raise Jalen. There, Jalen met Alisha.
Alisha was a lively and cute child when she was young. After Jalen moved over, she often came to play with Jalen. Alisha was like a beam of light that pulled Jalen back from the darkness.
Therefore, even though Alisha had done many things Jalen did not like, Jalen could not do anything to her. After all, Alisha was one of Jalen’s few childhood playmates.
When Jalen finished speaking, Elaina’s feelings were complicated. She did not expect Jalen’s childhood would be so painful. Elaina did not dare to imagine how Jalen would face his mother who had committed suicide in front of him at such a young age.
