Crises in Love novel Chapter 103

However, I didn't rush to add her. Instead, I clicked on the surveillance camera for a quick scan.

I saw Zora lounging in the living room downstairs, casually flicking through her phone. She was growing more audacious by the day, acting like she was the lady of the house. She even had some fresh fruit beside her, looking quite content.

Clara was probably in her room since she was nowhere in sight, while Jaylan was in the study.

I zoomed in on Zora's frame and saw that she was engrossed in her phone. Judging from her expression, she was deep in a chat with someone.

I smirked a little. The house was turning into a scene straight out of a spy drama. I was sure the elusive Clara was up to no good as well. I couldn't believe that after hooking up with Jaylan, she was only interested in having sex with him. That didn't seem to fit her character at all.

I had a feeling that this young girl was more cunning than her sister. I must keep a close eye on her, especially after the shout she’d made downstairs earlier. The more I thought about it, the more it seemed off. That was definitely not a coincidence.

About fifteen minutes later, I replied Marissa's text with a “Hello?” and went through her profile. As I expected, she hadn't posted anything. Her profile was set to private.

I didn't initiate a conversation and decided to wait and see how she would play her cards. I was ready to play along.

Just as I was thinking, she sent a message, "Aaliyah! Is that you?"

I deliberately replied with a question mark, and cursed in my heart, "Damn it, bitch. You've added me, and you're still asking me that stupid question?"

I used to have her on my contact list, but she had changed her number. Perhaps she did that to avoid me.

She quickly sent another message, "It's Marissa. Thank you for taking care of my child today! I've been feeling unwell these past few days, so I couldn't pick him up. His father ended up being late, and I was worried sick! Men are just not cut out for this!"

"It was no big deal!" I texted back with a smiley face. "I was worried he might run off and get into trouble. After all, he's still a kid!"

After sending the message, I snapped a screenshot of her profile picture and sent it to Catherine, asking her to find Marissa in the rich ladies' group chat and check out her profile.
