Crises in Love novel Chapter 157

The silence was deafening, way too loud for my liking!

Jaylan's face was deathly pale, and I could tell he was uncomfortable in his heart. For the past decade, he had played the part of my devoted partner, but my commitment to him was genuine. I had always treated him with respect, considering him my rock. But what had he done for me in return? When trouble struck, he came crawling back to me like a whipped dog and begging for my forgiveness.

It was too late!

"Jaylan, you've got some nerve! After causing such a terrible mess, how dare you come to me looking for solidarity! Have you ever thought of standing by me while I lay sick in bed and when you were with your mistress?" I had already risen to my feet, looking down at the pathetic man kneeling before me.

I had been itching to slap him for the longest time, and the satisfaction of finally doing so was indescribable!

Jaylan's face contorted, and he had the audacity to meet my gaze. "Aaliyah, I didn't do anything to hurt you. You're the only one in my heart!" Jaylan straightened his body as he knelt. I had no idea what gave him the courage to do so. If it weren't for all the evidence I had gathered, I might have believed him.

I raised my hand and slapped him again. "You're still lying even now!"

Jaylan reeled from the impact, his jaw clenching in visible anger. I hated his guts.

I pointed at him. saying, "The bastard son is Evan, right? No wonder your mother sings his praises to high heaven. I remember asking his teacher and finding out his name was Evan Dawson. I thought it was such a coincidence that he had the surname of Dawson,too. It was so funny!"

"It has nothing to do with me!" Jaylan stubbornly defended himself.

"Fine. It has nothing to do with you, huh!" I shook with fury. Actually, my body was really cooperating with my act. Whenever I got nervous or even slightly excited, I turned into this emotional wreck.

"Please, my love! You're the only one who can save Medsafe Liyah Inc. now!" Jaylan pleaded, his eyes bloodshot from desperation. "Just calm down. Let's not make things worse. Once this blows over, I'll make it up to you. I promise I’ll give you an explanation. You'll be pleased!"

I laughed bitterly within. “Pleased? It's that I must make you pleased.”

He tried everything he could to persuade me, "You don't want to ruin everything over such a small matter..."

"Small matter?" I interrupted him, staring at him fiercely.
