Crises in Love Chapter 19
Chapter 19
I quickly dismissed the thought with a scoff Can a devil possess a heart of a man?
His earlier conversation with Zora had been packed with hidden meanings. He claimed Zora was threatening him? What could Zora possibly have against him? And why did he call her a liability?
There’s more to this saying than meets the eye. But for now, he lay beside me, his intentions hidden. One thing was clear, however; my safest moments were when he was by my side.
With this in mind, I let my thoughts drift away and drifted off to sleep
That night, maybe I was exhausted from crying, or perhaps because we were sharing the same bed, under each other’s watchful eyes, all we could do was sleep So, I slept soundly, waking up naturally
When I opened my eyes, I felt more refreshed than ever.
Suddenly, a voice beside me said, “You’re awake?”
Startled, I turned to see Jaylan lying next to me. He was propped up on his arm, watching me intently, his face was as calm as ever, as if we’d gone back
in time.
At that moment, I realized I had underestimated him; he was quite the actor
Blinking to clear my head, I wasn’t sure what Jaylan was planning, but for now, I had to play along. I wanted to see what tricks he had up his sleeve.
“Honey, what time is it?” My voice came out hoarse, startling me.
He reached out to touch my face, “7 o’clock!”
I turned to face him, clearing my throat, “Aren’t you going to work?”
“I’ve been working hard lately, I need a day off, and I want to spend some time with you,” he said seriously, his eyes focused on my face. Then he softly told me, “I went back to Silverdale City the other day, to visit your parents.”
His casual tone was a punch to my gut, I asked, skeptically, “Silverdale City? You went to see my parents?”
He raised an eyebrow, “Surprised?”
I realized I had reacted too strongly, but I nodded, playing along. “Yes, quite surprising
“Damn, I haven’t seen my parents in a long time,” I said wistfully. “Are they doing well? What made you decide to go see them?”
“Don’t forget, it’s your mom’s birthday on April 12th. You were sick, and I couldn’t just pretend everything was normal. The expo had just ended, so I took the chance to visit them, he said, smiling affectionately
If it hadn’t been for this unexpected turn of events, I would have been touched by his gesture.
My parents were initially against me marrying him. Being the only daughter, I was the apple of their eyes. They were both educators, who later ventured into the medical sector. Our family wasn’t filthy rich, but we were well–respected in Silverdale City.
They had always pampered and given me freedom, without any pressure I was their pride, always excelling in studies, and even got into a prestigious university in Goldenvale
My parents had planned my life after college to return to Silverdale City and work as an educator. They believed that a steady job and a family were the ideal life for a woman.
But I wasn’t interested in a conventional job. Instead, I was intrigued by their business
During my junior year, I secretly started a medical device business in Goldenvale Town and made my first fortune. With my achievements. I convinced my dad to let me start my company in Goldenvale Town.
After careful evaluation, my father registered Medsafe Liyah Inc. in Goldenvale Town, making me one of the few people who owned a company before graduating from college
Fate has a peculiar way of twisting things, and that’s when I met Jaylan.
