Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan)

Chapter 114

He was probably sorting out his emotions as he walked, and by the time he reached me, he had put on

that absent warm smile, "Sweetheart, I know you're mad at me." As he said this, he took a seat at the

edge of my bed, looking deeply into my eyes, "In truth, you don’t know how much I care about you.

We’ve weathered so many storms together over these years, it hasn’t been easy. I admit, I've been

neglecting you recently! I didn't realize it until you pointed it out."

I seriously wanted to kick him off the bed. Was he addicted to this drama? Could he just turn on the

waterworks at will? And playing the emotional card, too. Did he think my feelings were that cheap?

So I just stared at him, and it seemed to encourage him to continue, "So, when she called me out of the

blue today, saying you were at a motel with another man, I lost my cool and rushed over there without

thinking! It’s my fault, sweetheart, can you forgive me? It won’t happen again."

"Again?" I glared at him, a sarcastic laugh escaping me, "I can hardly imagine how badly I've fallen ill?

Even a nanny feels bold enough to walk all over me, to treat me like her personal doormat, and my

husband just turns a blind eye, I really want to know, how much backing have you given her?”

“Sweetheart, you’re being unfair, how could I back her up?” Jaylan defended himself, his face changing

color.

“Jaylan, I'm not a fool, and I don't turn a blind eye to things! Do you really think, I don't know how I got

the injury on my head? You still dare to say you did not favor her? Jaylan, I'm really starting to doubt,

whether your conscience has been compromised?"

My words clearly startled Jaylan, but he quickly composed himself, his face filled with pain as he Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

grabbed my hand, "Allie, I did see the injury on your head! But you don't know how much it hurt me.”

“I didn’t notice!” I didn’t leave him any room for explanations.

He sighed, gently kissing my hand, “It’s no surprise you’re suspicious, I haven’t handled this well. The

reason I claimed I didn't see anything was because I was afraid you would lose your temper. I am

swamped with work every day, and you know Medsafe Liyah Inc. is not what it used to be. The bigger

the company, the greater the pressure, and it worries me being away from home so much.”

Bringing up Medsafe Liyah Inc. again! Seems like Medsafe Liyah Inc. is his universal shield, but all it

brings me is disaster.

“I’m conflicted too, if we hire someone new, who knows how that will turn out, especially with the care

she has given to Carl, which was genuine. That’s why I have been hesitant to let her go. I did warn her,

and I thought she would take it to heart, but…”

“There’s no need for you to worry.” I snorted coldly, interrupting his performance, and said decisively,

“Have her pack her bags! I won't live another day under the scrutiny of those unsettling eyes! And I

certainly don’t want someone who could harm me to stay in my house.” Then I gave him a sarcastic

smile, continuing, "It just dawned on me, your warnings are nothing, if a nanny can ignore them, I can’t

even imagine, how you maintain authority in the company!”

“The problem is…”

“There is no problem, it’s better you say you can’t bear to let her go!”

I locked eyes with Jaylan, hitting him where it hurt, "She's so brazen towards me, and you can tolerate

it, Jaylan, I'm beginning to doubt whether there's any truth left in your words."

Jaylan was taken aback by my words, his expression shifting, but he met my gaze, and I didn’t back

down.

After a while, he composed himself, nodded in concession, "Fine, let her go!"

In front of Jaylan, I took out my cell phone and called Clara, asking her to come home right away.
