Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan)

Chapter 75

"Honey, it's my fault!" Jaylan finally softened, "I'll pay more attention to this. I'll be a good dad!"

I smiled ruefully to myself. He was a good dad, but not a good one for my children.

"Starting next term, Monique will stop boarding and commute to school!" I demanded. "They are still so

young, after all!"

"But can you handle it?" Jaylan asked in feigned concern.

"Whether I can or not, I have to. Children should grow up in a harmonious environment. Neglecting

them after giving birth is not my style! Since I'm alive, they must all come home!" I stated unequivocally.

Slowly, I lay back down. I was utterly exhausted and felt like I was about to collapse.

"Okay, we'll do as you wish!" He conceded, "Are you not mad anymore?"

He leaned closer again.

"Let's sleep! We have to take Probert to school tomorrow!" I said, closing my eyes. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

I was silently anxious. It seemed I really needed to make a trip back to Silverdale City.

The next day.

As soon as I got up, I went straight to Probert's room, only to find that Zora was already there. I told her

somewhat irritably, "From now on, I'll take care of Probert. You don't need to bother about him. Go and

prepare breakfast quickly! Probert has to get to school on time."

Upon hearing this, she handed me the clothes she was holding for Probert and left the room.

I noticed that Probert wasn't as clingy towards her as I had seen in the video, which was a good sign.

Carl was still young and was used to Zora's care, and I had to take things slow. Plus, given my current

physical condition, I needed some time to recuperate.

At breakfast, Clara was nowhere to be seen. I didn't bother asking about her. After ensuring Probert

had eaten, I drove him straight to school. He seemed noticeably happier today. Before entering the

school building, he turned to wave at me, then ran in.

I watched him run into the school building with a smile before getting back into the car.

I was truly exhausted, so I drove straight home and called Logan to make sure his people were keeping

a close eye on Jaylan and Marissa. I needed to keep Marissa on her toes and put some pressure on

her.

Logan let out a wicked chuckle, "Don't worry! I guarantee I'll make that Dawslug sweat bullets. And the

person I arranged to do it will be in position today."

"So soon?" I was surprised. This was efficiency at its best.

"Why? Do you think it's too soon? Should I let the bullet fly a bit more?" He joked.

"No, they've had their fun long enough. They've become so complacent they've forgotten who calls the

shots!" I was in a good mood today.

Thinking about how I had exposed Jaylan's true nature last night made me feel good. I needed to

remind him constantly of what he really is.

Logan, on the other end of the line, chuckled at my words, "I love it when you're being cheeky! But I

have to remind you, don't get too close to Dawslug again. He must have been affected!"

I blushed instantly, glad that this conversation was happening over the phone, or it would have been

truly embarrassing.

"Absolutely!" I replied, forcing out a laugh, "He's a piece of crap!"

This made Logan laugh even harder, making me want to die of embarrassment!

When I got home, I went straight to bed to catch up on sleep. I had indeed overexerted myself

yesterday, and every part of my body ached.

When I woke up, I found the house eerily quiet. Not a soul was in sight. It seemed Zora had gone out

again.

After eating a little, I lay back down and checked the surveillance records. To my surprise, I found

something new and immediately opened the video.

The footage was from yesterday, just after I had left. No sooner had I stepped out the door than Zora

called Jaylan to tell him I had gone to Probert's school.

Then, speaking to Jaylan on the phone in an extremely displeased tone, Zora said, "What are you

planning by allowing her to resume her normal life? Don't you think her waking up is a threat to us? I

feel that the way she looks at me is not right. Also, you'd better rein yourself in."

I couldn't hear the response from the other end, but Zora's displeasure was evident. Angrily, she said,

"What do you mean by saying I have a guilty conscience? Was it me who wanted to harm her? You

were the one who ordered the hit, and now you're the one calling it off. No matter what you're planning,

I'm warning you, Aaliyah is no fool. You'd better not provoke Clara anymore. She's not one to let things

slide. If Aaliyah finds out, none of us will have a good end."

I don't know what Jaylan on the other end was saying, but Zora's face was growing grimmer.

Finally, Zora spat out a threat, "Jaylan, don't blame me for being ruthless. I won't mind..."

Perhaps the person on the other end didn't pay any attention to her words and just hung up. Zora,

enraged, threw her phone on the floor angrily.

She was clearly embarrassed and furious!

The following scene was of Clara returning home from work with a cheerful Carl. As soon as Zora saw

them, she walked over and took Carl into her arms, "Why are you so late? Weren't you supposed to

pick him up at 4 o'..."

Before she could finish her sentence, her eyes were drawn to something, and she stared at Clara.
