Falling For My Mysterious Wife

Chapter 24

“But…”

“It’s fine, Theodore. I don’t like it that much either,” she smiled and said. This thing was dispensable to her.

Theodore no longer bade. It went to Jalen, and everyone could not help but sigh at how willful the rich were!

Marie was also excited. She did not expect Jalen to buy such a valuable thing for her. She was nervous and a little excited at the same time.

However, the earrings did not go to her.

She looked at Jalen who paid without blinking and whispered in the waiter’s ear. Then she saw the waiter walk to Elaina and said in a moderate voice, “Hello, miss. Mr. Halton said that this pair of earrings is a gift for you.”

Gift?

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. A 10-million-dollar gift was given away just like that! What was the relationship between Jalen and this woman?

Wait, wasn’t this woman Theodore’s younger sister? How could she be related to Jalen?

Jalen did not send the earrings to his younger sister, but to Theodore’s!

Everyone was confused and could only think that their relationship was really messy.

Elaina did not reach out to take it. There was not even a trace of joy on her face. She frowned and looked at

Jalen as if asking him what he meant..

“It’s just a worthless little thing. You saved Marie, and her life is more valuable than this gift.” His meaning was obvious. Because Elaina saved Marie, he bought this gift for her as a token of gratitude.

As he said this, he did not look at Marie at all. Naturally, he did not see her pale face.

Marie wondered, Jalen gave her such a precious gift because she saved me!

Is that really the case?

She suddenly felt that she could not understand the man in front of her, but a sense of crisis rose in her

heart.

“No need. I have already taken the reward I deserve.” Elaina refused without any hesitation.

Jalen looked unhappy. This was not the first time he had been rejected by Elaina. “Do you have to anger me

to be satisfied?”

“I don’t understand what you mean, Mr. Halton.” Elaina looked at him with a cold gaze. “I’m not very familiar

with you either. Please don’t do such a misleading thing, Mr. Halton.”

The people behind Jalen were all gossiping. They even wanted to rush up and ask her what was the relationship between her and Jalen.

The words “not very familiar” completely infuriated Jalen. He stood up immediately in a rage, and his eyes seemed to spit fire. “Good! Very good!”

It had been a long time since he had been so enraged.

Jalen left the auction house. The people behind him did not know what had happened. They only felt a chill around Jalen, making them tremble.

It seemed that the woman had angered Jalen.

For a moment, everyone looked at Elaina with strange expressions. They were curious, impressed, and even more sympathetic.

If one angered Jalen, he needed to pray for himself.

However, Elaina did not care. She looked at the stage and waited for the next item.

On the second floor of the banquet, Jalen was sitting in the private room. His face was livid. He spun the goblet in his hand, raised his head, and drank the wine in one gulp.

“You lost control.” The man sitting opposite Jalen was also holding a goblet. His deep voice made people shudder.

“Yes.” Jalen did not deny that he was indeed out of control.

It should be said that every time he faced Elaina, he would lose control.

Quincy raised his head and looked at the auction downstairs. “Who is that woman? Your attitude towards

her…” NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Quincy did not continue his words. There was a hint of playfulness in his eyes. After knowing Jalen for so many years, he rarely saw him lose control like this.

It was because of a woman.

Interesting.

“She is the doctor who performed the surgery on Marie. I don’t know why, but I always feel that she is full of hostility toward me,” Jalen answered, ruthlessness flickering past his dark eyes.

“Oh?” Quincy was interested. “Women who are hostile to you are rare.”

It was probably because of this that Jalen was so concerned.

“Help me check her identity. I keep feeling that it’s not that simple,” after drinking another glass of wine, he

spoke.

Quincy nodded. “Indeed, we should investigate carefully. Maybe this woman was deliberately sent by

someone to get close to you.”

As the two were talking, something seemed to have happened at the auction venue downstairs as it became

a bit noisy.
