Falling For My Mysterious Wife

Chapter 101

Jalen was silent for a long time. Just when Elaina felt that he was going to be angry again, Jalen said, “I will take you to the birthday banquet tomorrow.”

“No need.”

Elaina refused. Under Jalen’s murderous gaze, she said, “I have made an appointment with Saul.”

She meant that Jalen was late.

Elaina saw Jalen’s chest rising and falling violently and estimated that he should be on the verge of rage.

After a long time, when Elaina thought Jalen would not speak again, Jalen said, “Alright. I’ll wait for you at the banquet.”

Elaina did not say anything to provoke him. After all, it was not good to offend Jalen. She just wanted to cut ties with this man.

She ate the skewers and asked him, “Aren’t you in a relationship with Alisha?”

“Who told you that?” Jalen retorted and explained, “We grew up together. At most, we are good friends.”

He had never known what love was, so he was close to Alisha. At that time, everyone thought that they would be together, and even Jalen himself thought so.

Jalen had no interest in this. Anyway, he had no expectations for love and marriage, so even if he had to marry Alisha, he would not object.

Anyway, he didn’t care whom he married. Alisha was familiar with him, and the Lory family could help the Halton family to a certain extent.

But later, Jalen did not expect that Elaina, a woman he never knew, would appear. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

“You grew up together. It means that you are childhood sweetheart.” Elaina said with a smile and teased Jalen, “Why do you not want to be with her?”

“I don’t like her.” After meeting Elaina, Jalen knew what love felt like.

Elaina shrugged with a look of disbelief.

“Aren’t you eating?” Elaina asked when she saw that Jalen didn’t eat any of the skewers.

Jalen shook his head and said, “They’re dirty.”

Jalen reminded Elaina, “You have problems with your stomach, so you should eat less.”

Elaina, however, did not care. She said with a smile, “So, you see, we aren’t meant for each other.

Even our habits are different. We can’t find any common topics.”

Jalen was silent.

“You should think about it carefully. Maybe you don’t like me but want to possess me. I have never been good to you, so you want to conquer me.” Elaina thought that this might be the explanation. As soon as Elaina finished speaking, she saw Jalen pick up a skewer and bite the bullet to eat it.

Seeing this, Elaina felt resigned and said patiently, “You don’t have to force yourself. I’m just making an analogy. It’s not like we can have the same hobby after you take a skewer.”

“It tastes good. No wonder you like it,” Jalen suddenly said. He did not care what Elaina said at all. Alright, Elaina didn’t bother to say anything. As time passed, Jalen would give up sooner or later. After they finished the skewers, the two went back together. When Elaina was about to open the door and enter, Jalen asked her, “So, are we good?”

“More or less.” Elaina nodded, but then said, “But I won’t like you.”

“It doesn’t matter. We have time. As long as you don’t hate me, I can have many opportunities.” Jalen was satisfied with the status quo.

Elaina felt that she couldn’t talk Jalen out of pestering her. She opened the door and went in. Then, she closed the door without hesitation.

Jalen revealed a smile and also opened the door to enter the room.

The lights in the living room were on, and the black wall appeared in front of them. The living room was like a prison that made them suffocate.

Jalen, on the other hand, did not seem to feel it. He got himself a glass of red wine in a good mood and stood in front of the French window with the glass in hand. He looked at the brightly lit streets outside the window and felt warmth in his heart.
