Chapter 98
Elaina felt that no one had kicked Saul’s ass before, or else he would not have said something so annoying.
Taking a deep breath, she forced herself to continue working. As for why Jalen was afraid of the dark, she did not want to pursue it anymore. Anyway, it had nothing to do with her.
She was busy in the hospital until night. Unfortunately, when she returned to the apartment, she happened to meet Jalen.
She had to put moving on the agenda!
In the elevator, Elaina leaned against the corner and completely ignored Jalen.
After a long time, Jalen couldn’t remain calm and asked, “Did grandpa call you?”
“Mr. Halton, are you talking to me?” Elaina raised her eyes to look at him. She knew the answer but she still asked.
Jalen’s face turned slightly dark as he tried to hold back his anger. “Who else am I talking to? Is there anyone else here?”
“OK,” Elaina replied, “Yes, he did.”
“Will you go?” Jalen asked again.
“Grandpa invited me, so of course, I’ll go,” she replied.
Without waiting for Jalen to continue speaking, Elaina immediately said, “Mr. Halton, if you do not want to see me, I will avoid you that day. I guarantee that you won’t see me.”
As the host of the banquet, it was understandable that Jalen did not want to see her. No one wanted to see someone who scolded him.
“Elaina, I think you have a deep misunderstanding about me,” Jalen suddenly said. Why did she think that he did not want to see her? It was obvious that she did not want to see him.
Elaina shrugged and did not take his words seriously.
There were so many misunderstandings between her and Jalen, so it wasn’t a big deal in her mind.
As they spoke, the elevator arrived. Elaina walked out. She just wanted to hurry home and stay away from Jalen.
However, Jalen seemed to have mustered up his courage today. He insisted on making things clear with Elaina, so he followed her unhurriedly. When Elaina stood at her door, Jalen had no intention of leaving.
Elaina held the key and did not open the door. Instead, she turned around and looked at Jalen with vigilance. “What are you going to do?”
He said, “Let’s talk.” This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Elaina was speechless. She said, “I think I have nothing to talk about with you.”
“That’s just what you think. I think there are a lot of things to talk about between us.” Jalen was determined to make things clear with Elaina. If it kept going, he would go crazy.
Their eyes met. Jalen’s eyes were too hot. He stared at Elaina like that, so she felt a little guilty.
After a while, she said, “It’s late at night. It’s not good for us to be alone.”
“Are you worried that I will do something to you?” Jalen was so angry that he laughed. Was he that despicable in her eyes?
Elaina felt that it was possible. But the more possible thing was that Jalen might take the opportunity to take revenge on her because she yelled at him before.
Jalen rubbed his forehead and felt that Elaina was his nemesis. “Let’s talk in the coffee shop downstairs. Is this okay?”
“If I drink coffee at night, I won’t be able to fall asleep,” Elaina said.
“Then what do you want?” Jalen gritted his teeth. He felt that he was almost unable to control the anger in his body.
Seeing that he was going to be angry, Elaina did not dare to tease him anymore. She hurriedly said, “Let’s go to the restaurant downstairs. The barbecue there is very delicious.”
Jalen hesitated. He had never been to such a small restaurant before.
However, he did not want to miss this opportunity that he had finally found. “Okay, it’s up to you.”
Soon, they turned around and entered the elevator. They were silent all the way until they stood at the door of the restaurant.
Looking at so many guests in the restaurant, Elaina felt very safe and her attitude toward Jalen improved a bit.
On the contrary, Jalen, who was standing next to her, was gloomy.
