Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan)

Chapter 128

They offered me many ideas. By the time I got home, it was already late. Jaylan was waiting for me,

eager to know how my day had gone.

Without giving away a thing, I went upstairs, changed into more comfortable clothes, and then leisurely

walked back down.

I then nonchalantly played with the kids, leaving this Dawslug frantic with anticipation.

Jaylan was like a fly buzzing around me all evening, until I was dizzy and had a splitting headache.

On top of this, Carl was stubbornly asking for Zora before bed. He even hit me, crying for his 'mommy'.

I was his real mother, and I would definitely make him acknowledge that.

After what felt like an eternity, I finally got him to sleep. Exhausted, I retreated to my room, only to find

I hesitated before approaching the bed. As soon as I did, he lifted the covers and softly asked, "Honey,

you're tired, aren't you? Come, rest a bit. You've worked hard."

I snorted dismissively, thinking to myself that I was more than tired.

As soon as I got into bed, he moved closer. I flashed him a cold stare and asked, "What are you up to?"

He tried to snuggle up to me playfully, but I sat up abruptly, "Jaylan, just say what you want to say.

Don't try to bribe me!"

Caught off guard, he froze for a moment, but quickly recovered and laughed it off, "Alright, alright, don’t

get mad. Come on, lay down... Why are you always so angry?" He tried to coax me into laying down,

expressing concern, "I'm just worried about how Gevena feels, you know?"

“Now you're concerned about how others feel? I'm the one taking all the heat, cleaning up your mess,

and I still get blamed when I get home. What do you think I am?”

I reluctantly laid down and said, “Sleep in the guest room, don’t disturb my rest.”

“Honey, don't be unreasonable. Married couples don’t sleep in separate beds. You’re almost fully

recovered, can't you see how uncomfortable I am? It’s been years since we’ve had a normal…”

“Don’t take me for a fool!” I cut him off, flaring up, “I saw how comfortable you were with Zora clinging

to you!”

He sat up abruptly, looking at me with a mix of surprise and anger, “Don’t be like this. She’s just a

nanny. What do you take me for?”

“I should be asking you that! I don’t know what you are, but I sure know I’m being taken for a ride.” I

turned my back to him, confident that he wouldn't push it.

“I can’t understand what you’re doing!” I complained, “Don’t you understand it yourself?”

Sure enough, within 2 seconds, he wrapped his arms around me again, “Alright, I know you’re tired. It’s

hard on you, having to socialize right after you’ve recovered, and then come home to take care of the

kids. That’s why I haven't fired Zora yet. She knows how to handle Carl…”

I didn't let him finish, turning around to give him a stern look.

He quickly understood and shut up, “Alright, let’s drop it.”

I snorted and decided to give him a break, “Go to the business meeting first. We’ll figure out the rest

later. We can't push things too hard. That's not how it works.”

“You’re right! But I trust in your abilities. If only your health was better, we could go together. We’d have

a better chance of success.” Jaylan flattered.

I almost lost it, knowing how I had gotten sick in the first place. He still had the audacity to say that to

me. If I had a knife right now, I would stab him.

But I held back my anger and reminded him, “Gevena said there would be many overseas big buyers

at the meeting. Make sure you're well prepared and hire a good interpreter!”

Jaylan quickly reassured me, “Don’t worry about that. We recently hired a senior executive, I've made

him the deputy general manager. His is a pro!” He spoke with confidence.

I rolled over and asked, “Can we trust him? This is a rare opportunity. If we mess it up, we’ll lose

everything!”

“Don’t worry! He's a returned overseas student. He won’t have too much power!” Jaylan's words rang

true.

A small smile tugged at the corner of my mouth. It seemed Logan's plan was working.
