Crises in Love novel Chapter 605

Hannah chuckled and turned to me with the latest gossip. “Farley and Fannie have officially shacked up, and Jaylan is as mad as a hornet. He got into a fight with his old man the day before yesterday, and Fannie jumped into the fray, too! Now, Jaylan has no place to crash, so he has to go back daily. It’s like World War III whenever they run into each other!”

I snorted derisively, “Serves him right. Jaylan's not worth more than the trouble he causes.”

“Jaylan's been eyeing their place these past few days, so the fights have been so fierce!” Hannah seemed almost thrilled by the drama.

I pulled up the live feed from the security camera, only to see Farley in the kitchen, with no sign of the others, looking like Farley was playing chef.

Hannah plopped down next to me, grinning at the screen. “Fannie’s been showing Farley a good time the last few days and made a pretty penny, too.”

“Really? That fast?” I was skeptical. “Fannie does know how to work it!”

“Absolutely. Farley’s like putty in her hands these days. Fannie tells him to sit, and he doesn’t dare to stand. Keeps saying she’s taking him out to clear his head, and he’s over the moon about it!”

“It sounds like she’s giving him what he’s wanted. He never got that kind of treatment from Hazel. With Fannie, he’s found his dignity!”

I knew Farley well. When Hazel was around, he couldn’t get a word in edgewise. She’d chew him out a dozen times on a daily basis, and he wouldn’t dare to make a sound.

Hannah shared the latest. “Farley’s spoiling Fannie. She mentioned craving seafood yesterday, so he got up early to hit the market.”

I scoffed. “Enjoy it while it lasts.”

Hannah handed me a cookie from the table and spoke, “Jaylan comes back late every night. Farley tried to lock him out a few nights ago, but Jaylan had woken everyone with his banging. Farley doesn’t dare lock him out again. The two have no shame, and the whole neighborhood’s buzzing with talk about their antics!”

Right on cue, Farley’s voice boomed from the screen. “Darling, dinner’s ready!”

His tone dripped with indulgence, and I rolled my eyes in disgust.

But before Fannie appeared on screen, the front door swung open with a click, and two figures came in.
