Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan)

Chapter 485

Hannah's anger flared in an instant, her hand slamming down on the coffee table. "She's blatantly

provoking us, Allie! You were right, I smell trouble brewing!"

Even Logan, who was usually unflappable, had a look of disbelief etched on his face as he fell into

deep thought. We were seething, speculating on Clara's motives.

Then, in comes Ronan with purposeful strides, Larkin following close behind.

The moment I saw Ronan, a wave of calm washed over me.

Logan sat up straight and took the lead, "Looks like a trip to the Rhylee family homestead is a must.

But it's not the place for you to show your face. I reckon I should go instead!"

Ronan glanced at Logan and asked in a deep voice, "Why?"

Without mincing words, Logan activated his phone, which he'd been clutching all along, and placed it

on the coffee table. The recorded conversation from earlier played out loud—turns out recording had

become a habit of his.

After listening to the recording, Ronan nodded in agreement, "Seems I really can't be the one to show

up there. But that doesn't mean I can't go. I'm not comfortable with her going alone!"

Logan gave me a meaningful look and said, "I'll hold down the fort here. You go."

I felt a tinge of guilt. After all, we were at a critical juncture, and Ronan was the mastermind overseeing

everything.

"Maybe Larkin and Hannah could go with me?" I suggested, somewhat sheepishly.

"Nonsense!" Ronan said sternly.

"Allie, considering how things are shaping up, we can't take this lightly," Logan advised me solemnly.

"Trouble usually comes from people who are unpredictable and have no limits. You can't just walk into

danger alone, get it?"

I had to nod in agreement, "You're right. What I don't get is what she meant by her words and why she

would notify Jaylan?" I voiced my doubts.

"It makes sense. After all, he's the kid's father and has ties to Zora," Hannah chimed in. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

"It's probably not that simple!" Logan leaned back on the couch, exuding an air of confidence. "There's

likely a deeper meaning behind Clara's move."

Hannah turned to Logan, "So, do you think Jaylan will show up?"

Logan pondered for a moment before replying, "That depends on Clara's scheme. If she wants you

there, do you have any reason not to go? Consider her tone and the urgency in her call; how could you

possibly stay away?"

Logan hit the nail on the head. Considering Clara's words, it became clear that I had to go, regardless

of my personal feelings about it.

I looked at Ronan, urging him, "Let's get moving! I'm worried that any delay could change things."

I truly felt uneasy. What kind of mischief was Clara up to?

For me, Carl's safety was paramount, and I would risk everything to ensure it.

As for Jaylan, I had no expectations of him. Whether he showed up or not was irrelevant. Besides, I

had full custody of my three children, and his absence might even be for the better.

But Clara's mention of ‘surprise’ kept nagging at me; she surely knew something I didn't!

Seeing Ronan and Logan methodically planning our next move, I grew impatient and pressed, "Let's

just go!"

Ronan then stood up steadily and reassured me, "Don't worry, we won't be late."

Then he looked at me, "You're leaving like this? Without packing a change of clothes?"

I hastily grabbed a couple of items and shoved them into my bag.

"Helga, you must go because when Carl and I return, he will need your care," I said earnestly.

At my words, she nodded repeatedly, "Alright, Miss, I'll go—I promise!"

In the car, I made sure to ask Ronan about our route, whether we needed to fly straight to the state

capital and then drive down to the county. Updаted at Drамanоvels.cом

"No need!" Ronan said confidently. "I guarantee we'll be the first ones there."

I truly hoped we would be the first to arrive; that would give us the upper hand.
