Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan)

Chapter 422

Geneva quickly comforted me with a gentle expression, "Don't beat yourself up, think about it.

Misjudging someone because of being short-sighted is indeed a mistake on your part. But the kids are

innocent. Look at them, think about your parents."

She spoke gently, "You need to have a positive mindset. Play with them with a smile! Besides, you've

got us, your squad! I refuse to believe that we can't take them on!"

"That's the spirit!" I chuckled sincerely. "Without all of you, where would my confidence be?"

"And how old are you now, really? You’re only thirty, and everything is still possible. It's fortunate you've

seen the light, and that's truly something to celebrate," Geneva said breezily.

I scoffed, repeating her words with disbelief, "Only thirty, huh?"

"Exactly! Look around, how many people are thirty and still flying solo, with nowhere to call home? Not

to mention having kids, some are still daydreaming about finding a boyfriend. Be grateful! You've

completed your mission early and with flying colors. You've still got plenty of youth left, how great is

that?"

Her words made me laugh. "From the way you put it, it's almost like I was right to mess up!"

"That's right! You have to see both sides of the coin. Your job now is to keep an eye on the kids. Make

sure they don't pick up any of the Dawson family's bad habits, and you'll be perfect!"

The mention of the kids brought an instant beam to my face. Proudly, I said, "Of course, let me tell you,

these kids are absolutely exceptional!"

I went on to recount my little ones' impressive behaviors to Geneva, who looked at me in shock,

"Really? Isn't that a bit early? They sure are clever beyond their years, already talking about

management?"

"Ah! When it comes to these things, they've got it all figured out," I said with satisfaction.

"My goodness, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree!" Geneva remarked with a sense of wonder.

"Allie, what more could you ask for? You have such wonderful parents!"

"And I have Catherine, you, Janetta and Janice!" I leaned contentedly on Geneva's shoulder. " Just

Jaylan is a blemish, an irreversible flaw, but maybe life is meant to be imperfect."

Then something occurred to me. "Oh! ...By the way, how's Janetta's daughter, Nettie doing? Has she

visited her mom?"

As soon as I asked, Geneva's face turned sour. "Don't get me started!"

"What happened? She didn't visit?" I probed further, "Or did Janice not let her?"

Geneva shook her head, "She didn't go at all. She never went to see her mom."

"How could she do that?" I exclaimed.

"Logically, since Janetta was taken in by Janice, she should have realized her mother must be awake!

Irving should have thought of that too," I said, full of questions. "I don’t know what Nettie is thinking!"

"Everyone thinks that! It's obvious to outsiders that Janetta must have woken up to be taken home," Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Geneva sighed. "But Nettie never showed up. How do you explain that?"

I shook my head in dismay, "She is being ungrateful!"

"And not just that, did you see the media coverage? She's close with Olivia, flaunting a happy family of

four, always cuddling her little brother in photos, all smiles," Geneva said with a mix of helplessness

and anger.

"No way! That's outrageous!" I couldn't help but interject.

Geneva sighed, ready to say more, but the server arrived with our meal. Hannah, who had been busy

with her phone the whole time, quickly came over to help set the dishes. Coոtent of Drąmanovеls.com

I really admired Hannah's temperament—she had the patience of a saint, could blend into the

background, yet still radiate energy, and her smile was so healing. Not like the typical bodyguard types

—cool, detached, and fierce.

Once the server left, I called to Hannah, "Come on, sit down and eat!"

She waved us off, "You guys go ahead, I'll..."
