It's Too Late To Get A Divorce (Alita and Jaydon) novel Chapter 6

Jaydon leaned back, legs casually crossed, and looked up at her. His green eyes turned dark. "This won't work. Do you want me to be left alone tonight?"

Alita silently complained, 'When did you ever give a damn about this? You always keep me around when you need me and cast me aside when you don't, don't you?'

"It's not that I don't want to attend; I really don't feel well. I hope you can understand." She maintained a respectful yet distant attitude.

The others of the Lewis family sitting nearby quickly chimed in mockingly.

"Alita, aren't you a bit too delicate? You're not some high-and-mighty lady. How can you fall ill just like that?" Valeria's gaze was disdainful and arrogant.

"Valeria, that's not fair to say. She's been in our home for so long, and even if she hasn't learned any etiquette, she has developed a delicate vibe," said Kyla from across the table. Her smile carried a subtle touch of mockery.

"But she should be sensible. Everyone from the company is going, and if she refuses to attend, it's like not showing respect to Jaydon." Amira's tone was harsher. Being the youngest in the Lewis family, she had always been straightforward.

Annabel, with a softer tone, smiled at Alita. "Alita, go and join. It's quite interesting."

"If Alita is genuinely unwell, let her rest. Health is more important than anything else," Samuel said calmly, advocating for Alita.

"Outsiders will always side with outsiders. You ungrateful thing." Marcelo, the eldest at the table, lightly tapped the table and snorted. He disliked Samuel the most.

Samuel looked at him with a faint smile in his deep yet dark eyes.
