Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan)

Chapter 421

Geneva snatched the phone from my hand and scrutinized the photo. After a moment, she slowly

shook her head. " I've never seen this guy before. With a look like that, you'd think he’d be

unforgettable, but..."

"Maybe he's not from Goldenvale Town?" I questioned, my suspicion piqued by Geneva's response.

"Possibly! I wouldn’t forget a face like that!" Geneva scoffed, her meaning clear without further words.

"The guy’s bad news!" I dismissed the man with a wave of my hand, adding, "The Dawson brothers can

always find the most creepy people possible! How did I marry into that family? Alas..." I abruptly

covered my face in embarrassment.

Geneva laughed and draped an arm around my shoulder. "Don't beat yourself up. Everyone gets it

wrong sometimes. People are hard to read. And let's face it, the Dawsons are good actors. No wonder

you were taken in. It's normal! Now that you've woken up and cut your losses, that's what counts.

Doesn't matter how long it took to see this guy for what he is. Better late than never!"

"Geneva, spare me the comfort talk. 'Better late than never'? I've got three kids with him before I

realized whether he was man or monster. How blind could I be? Just thinking about it gives me

nightmares!"

Geneva, hearing this, laughed boisterously and playfully punched my shoulder. "Oh, come on! Is it

really that dramatic?" Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

With a dead-serious face, I replied, "It really is. All this stress is eating me up inside. I can't sleep at

night. How foolish must I be to be strung along by such a person? Sometimes, I just want to jump off a

building and start all over."

Geneva quickly turned to me. "Remember what you said just now. Don't entertain such dark thoughts!"

I looked at her, reassured. "Don't worry about that. He's not worth it. I wouldn't throw my life away over

him! I meant like in those books where people get to start over. I'd choose to stay single for life rather

than give him another glance. The very thought of him leaves such a dark shadow in my mind!"

Both Geneva and Hannah, who had been listening, burst out laughing.

I went on, "Sometimes, I feel so disgusted with myself, like I can never scrub off the filth, no matter how

many showers I take. Let's just drop it!"

Geneva was laughing so hard she slumped onto the couch, gasping for breath.

I sighed, feeling utterly defeated. "I'm seriously curious. Did I wrong someone so badly in a previous life

to deserve this punishment?"

I cursed myself endlessly, as if possessed. Geneva was laughing hard, struggling to catch her breath.

Turning to Hannah, I handed back the phone. "Send this photo to your boss. Check if it's useful and

don't overlook any clues."

Hannah smiled coyly and winked. "Don't worry, I've already sent it to the boss!"

I nodded in approval. "Smart cookie!"

"The guys who kidnapped me last time still haven't been identified. I mean, what kind of karma is this?

Am I destined to be entangled with these people? To fall into their traps from miles away? How can I

just accept that?" Reаd at Draмanоvels.com
