Falling For My Mysterious Wife

Chapter 441

In Kemp Apartment, Elaina followed Jalen. She saw him take out his key and open the door.

“Come in.” Pushing open the door and turning on the lights in the living room, he turned to look at Elaina.

Elaina hesitated and walked in.

After putting the suitcase away, she sat on the sofa and stared at Jalen. She did not do anything else. Obviously, she was waiting for him to explain his relationship with Ethel.

Jalen sighed. Of course, he could understand what Elaina meant

He took her suitcase to the bedroom and brought a first-aid kit. “Don’t move I will clean your wound first.”

Elaina curled her lips. He knew what she wanted to know the most, but he refused to say it. It was too annoying. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Soon, the wound was cleaned. Just as Elaina was thinking about what he was going to do now, she saw Jalen sitting down beside her.

“Ethel and I used to be classmates in college,” Jalen said, as if he was lost in his memories.

Elaina felt uncomfortable seeing him like this, but she did not interrupt him and waited for him to continue.

“At that time, I had a good relationship with her and spent a lot of time with her. Naturally, I had some feelings for her.” Jalen did not deny the fact that he had fallen for Ethel.

“But in the end, because she was going abroad, we broke up,” Jalen said.

To put it bluntly, he and Ethel were more than friends, but not lovers. It had been so many years. He had been. over her.

Seeing that he seemed to be done explaining, Elaina was unhappy. “You asked me to be a substitute because

you couldn’t get the girl you liked?”

Jalen’s face immediately darkened. He looked at Elaina seriously. “As I told you before, you are not anyone’s substitute.

“If you hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t have found out that you were in common in some way.”

It was only after Elaina mentioned it that he vaguely felt that they seemed to be a little alike.

Elaina definitely did not believe his words. Anyone who saw Ethel’s photo could tell that they were very

similar at a glance. Why couldn’t Jalen realize it?

“Ella, didn’t you say that we should trust each other?” Jalen looked at her unhappily.

Elaina did not look him in the eye. Although he had already explained it, she still did not believe it. It was probably because Jalen had so many lies that she could not tell if he was serious.

“Then why didn’t your father tell me when he returned?” Elaina asked. She felt that Jalen should have at least told her about it.

Jalen did not know if Elaina had let it go. When he heard her ask about Steven, he said truthfully, “I did not want to hide it from you. I just wanted to tell you after the matter is settled.”

Elaina did not speak, but her eyes had already explained everything.

Jalen had no choice but to continue explaining, “Although he has been away for many years, he is still the president of the Halton Group. He has a lot of power in his hands. I was afraid that he would harm you, so I agreed to break up with you.”

“So, you are with Rylie to make your father let his guard down?” Elaina asked.

Jalen nodded. “Yes. I am working with her. Her parents forced her to go on blind dates. I need someone to attract Steven’s attention.”

Elaina could not tell if what Jalen said was true or not. “Fine. I see.”

At this point, no matter whether it was true or not, it seemed that this was the only solution.

Then…

are we good?” Jalen said weakly. He felt uncertain.

Elaina glanced at him and said, “Although you had a reason, breaking up is never a joke. So, we are still on a break.”
