SWNOVELS Crises in Love Chapter 129
Chapter 129
“When are you planning to head to Silverdale City?” Jaylan suddenly asked, “How about I accompany you to see mom and dad first?”
I turned to look at him, irritation clear in my voice. “What are you thinking, Jaylan? We promised the kids we’d stay. Besides, they’ll be on break in a few days. It’s like you don’t care about them at all! And you know how shy Carl is around Helga, are you okay with that?”
Jaylan simply shrugged, “We’ll just bring Carl along, and Probert and Helga will be fine. Or I’ll just ask my mom…”
“Stop right there!” I cut him off, expressing my displeasure. I don’t trust your mother! All she does is scold the kids!”
Those were harsh words I never used to say directly but now, what was there to fear? He didn’t deserve my compliance anymore. Turning to Jaylan, I added insult to injury, “Oh right, your mother does know how to praise, she’s always praising Marissa’s son while she demeaning Probert in front of others. Can we really send Probert to her?”
Jaylan’s face visibly darkened, left speechless. Seeing him trying to avoid the topic, I continued, “I don’t understand. Since I joined the Dawson family, I haven’t done anything to disgrace you, Jaylan. I have helped to buy a new house for your family, helped Jerome renovate his house and get married. I’ve paid Jesper’s tuition, and Jessica always has new clothes I give her whatever I have. I counted on my fingers.
Jaylan didn’t like what he was hearing, but he didn’t dare to refute
“Jaylan, I just don’t understand… why does your mother hate me? If I let my children go to your mother again, wouldn’t that be like letting her ruin my
children?”
This was deliberately said for Jaylan to hear. I wanted to disgust Jaylan thoroughly, and if I didn’t make the Dawson family turn over, my life would be
meaningless.
“Allie, don’t listen to others blindly. My mother just has a sharp tongue!” Jaylan defended.
“Jaylan, this isn’t hearsay. I saw it with my own eyes. She cursed Probert worse than we could ever imagine. Tell me, what more do I need to do to make the Dawson family happy and curse me less? Can they stop wishing for my death?”
Jaylan was left speechless, gaping like a fish.
Having hit a nerve, I yawned contentedly, “Let’s sleep.”
I was genuinely tired.
The night before the trip to the business meeting, Jaylan had another fever. I pretended to be worried and applied cold compresses to him, watching his dazed state, I said, “Maybe I should go instead”
Jaylan immediately perked up, his feverish eyes filled with caution as he looked at me. “It’s okay, I’ll be fine after a night’s sleep! You know I’m worried about your health, honey. I’m okay, don’t worry!”
“What if we go to the hospital? Why are you always getting sick? This can’t continue!” I reached out to feel his temperature, it was high.
“I’m fine, just get me some fever reducers and a couple of antibiotics, and I’ll be fine! He patted my arm, Please get me the medicine!”
“Okay” I turned to get the medicine, secretly thinking. I’m not going to the meeting for sure, if I did, the upcoming drama wouldn’t be able to play out
I asked Helga to fetch some water, and fed him the medicine. He fell into a deep sleep immediately
The next morning, his fever had subsided, and he looked like a completely healthy person, energetically getting into the car with the driver and leaving
I watched him leave until his car disappeared from my sight. I quickly reported to Gevena, she replied with an ‘ok, all set
Before I could go upstairs, my phone rang again. I picked it up to see Logan’s name.
I smirked, answering, “Wow, where have you been, Logan?”
“Allie, did you miss me?” He joked, then added, “I’ve been looking for Addrion for you!”
Logan’s response left me shocked Addrion was the person I wanted to find the most at the moment. I immediately asked eagerly, “Any news”
