Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan)

Chapter 319

Tension flickered in her eyes as she heard my question. She cast a nervous glance at me and

hesitantly admitted, "I did ask once, but he blew up, saying it was none of my business. So I didn't dare

to ask again."

"Why are you so afraid of him?" I chuckled, looking at Camilla. "As his wife, isn't it natural for you to

ask?"

"Well... it's not that I'm afraid of him exactly. I just feel that he is a grown man, and he should know his

boundaries for what he does. Too many questions could lead to disputes, and I'd be the one to suffer."

"Has he... ever laid a hand on you?" I ventured to ask.

She was quick to deny, "No, never! He may be a bit stubborn at times, but he never hit me."

After saying this, Camilla looked at me with a hint of suspicion. "Did something happen to him?" All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

I hastily denied, "No, I was just asking out of curiosity."

"Oh..." she responded with an awkward laugh. "He's a free spirit, always doing as he pleases. No one

can really control him, not even his own parents."

I nodded in agreement. For a daughter-in-law in the Dawson family, this was a common topic.

"Speaking of which, Jaylan is no better!" I said, trying to create a bond with her.

"But he's much better than his older brother. He treats you well and is dutiful to his parents," Camilla

praised.

Hearing her admiration, I couldn't help but wonder. Considering their collusion, could she really be

oblivious to their schemes?

Treating me well? He was treating all women well except for me. He was always putting on airs of

elegance and aloofness, yet easily surrendering at the sight of a woman.

I decided to probe her a bit, "Both of them have their issues. I knew about Jaylan's before I got sick, but

now... Who knows? Did you hear about the incident that happened a while ago?"

Camilla seemed taken aback and then earnestly asked, "What? What incident? I really don't know!"

Afraid I might not believe her, she quickly added, "Aaliyah, you have to understand, although we're still

technically married, it feels like we're only bound by the law. I bet most people outside don't even know

he has a wife. And certainly, nobody knows that I am his wife."

"That can't be true!" I laughed.

"But it is!" she sighed. "I'm not lying. For years, he rarely takes care of me and Fidelia. Even in this very

building, not many people know him!

If it weren't for his occasional visits, I wouldn't even feel connected to the Dawson family. Except for

you, no one in the Dawson family pays any attention to us!"

This caught her interest, and she asked, "What happened?"

"How did you find out?"

"I was feeling a bit better and missed Probert, so I went to pick him up from school. That's when I saw

it," I admitted. "So I brought Probert back home. His grandmother caused quite a scene because of

that. I wish they would just leave us alone!"

I shook my head, a bitter smile on my face.

Camilla was shocked by my story, "That actually happened?"
