Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan)

Chapter 73

Before I could get him out of the room, his phone started to ring. He glanced at it and immediately

turned it off.

Then, with a smile, he looked at Probert and casually patted him on the head, "Son, are you tired? Go

to sleep if you are…"

Before he could finish, his phone rang again. He stood up and said to me, "I'm going to take a shower!

Go to bed, son!"

Without holding back, I asked directly, "Why aren't you answering your phone?"

He brushed it off with a simple, "it's just Jessica!"

I understood and said, "Then answer it! She must need something if she's calling this late!"

"It's about a payment! I need to check the report before I can reply to her!" He was a master of

fabrication.

If I'm not mistaken, this call was from Marissa.

After Jaylan finished speaking, he quickly left Probert's room. I ignored him and continued to chat with

Probert.

Of course, most of the talking was done by me. Even so, I enjoyed it. I was willing to talk to him.

Nothing was more important than my kids. I had to make Probert lively.

After chatting Probert to sleep, I returned to my room, too exhausted to even take a shower.

Just as I was about to fall asleep, Jaylan, fully dressed, appeared at the foot of my bed. With a

flattering smile, he gently said, "You go to sleep first! I need to go to the office. There's a discrepancy in

the accounts. I need to check it. I don't have that document on the home computer. I have to make a

payment to someone tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, I perked up and firmly replied, "No, you're not going. Why do you need to check the

accounts in the middle of the night? What's the rush to make payment tomorrow? Who called you? If

they can't handle this little thing, they shouldn't do it at all. Jaylan, we're not done with what happened

today! I'm exhausted, going to sleep, and you're not going anywhere!"

To be honest, this was the first time since we got married that I spoke to him in such a tone, and I was

quite adamant. Jaylan was probably stunned by my firm attitude, he stood rooted to the spot, looking at

me dumbfounded for a while.

The most crucial part was that he didn't understand what I meant by 'we're not done with what

happened today, but the guilty are always fearful.

He stood by the bed for quite some time before he obediently changed his clothes, turned off his

phone, and didn't dare to leave.

As he lay down on the bed, he reached out to me. As soon as his body touched my skin, I immediately

slapped his hand away, "I already said I'm exhausted!"

I thought to myself, do you think I'm like those cheap women who get turned on at the slightest touch?

Jaylan was visibly taken aback, he chuckled and said, "We haven't done it in a while, honey, I miss

you."

His words sent chills down my spine, and I nearly threw up. I quickly moved to the other side of the bed

and retorted, "You know very well what condition I'm in. I can barely stay alive, how can I think about

that?"

"So why did you insist on taking Probert back?" Jaylan was somewhat annoyed by my attitude and shot

back.

"You dare to ask? I haven't even asked you yet. During the time I've been ill, have you even visited

Probert? Do you think that leaving the child with your mother solves everything?" I turned over and

looked at him, staring right into his eyes, "Have you noticed any changes in Probert's character?"

"I was busy, okay?" Jaylan defended, "Aren't you at ease with my mother taking care of him? What NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

changes could there be? You're making a big deal out of nothing!"

"Making a big deal out of nothing?" I was furious, my voice raised a notch, "You're busy? Everyone in

your family is at the company, only you're busy, too busy to even spare some time to be with your

child? Then why are we raising them? The company is there to improve our quality of life, not for a

bunch of people to freeloading. If they can't handle this, they should all go! You can all take a break, I'll

take over, without that bunch of useless people!"

My words were straight to the point.

Damn it, if I don't put some pressure on them, they'll really think I'm dead.

Indeed, my words hit Jaylan hard. His hand, which was wandering over my body, stopped abruptly.
