It's Too Late To Get A Divorce (Alita and Jaydon)

Chapter 67

Chapter 67 Samuel reached out, trying to touch Alita’s forehead. But Alita dodged behind Jaydon at once, grabbing his arm and forcing herself to sound calm as she insisted, “I’m fine!” Her slight movement sent a chill through the hearts of both Samuel and Jaydon. Jaydon, however, couldn’t help but feel a surge of glee. Seizing the opportunity, he pulled Alita in close by the waist and casually told Samuel. “No need to fret, Samuel. She’s just a bit worn out from last night’s activities. Samuel smiled and said. “Oh, is that so?” Only Alita understood the weight of that smile. She knew Sammie’s true nature, a man with an ax to grind. Looking at Samuel now, it would be hard for anyone to imagine that he was the devil from the night before. She was almost ready to convmce herself that she had made a mistake yesterday and that it was all just a nightmare. Kim watched the scene unfold in silence. Alita’s behavior toward Samuel was off. At previous social events and even during her hospital discharge. Alita had been much more affectionate towards Samuel. But today, she seemed fearful. It felt ridiculous to think of Alita as fearful as she was far from a timid roman. Yet, Kim could sense her fear. “Honey, I want to go out for breakfast, just the two of us. Is that okay?” Alita was eager to get away from this place. Jaydon sensed her unusual behavior but still agreed with a smile. “It’s rare for my wife to make a request. Of course. I’ll agree.” “Let’s head out then, Alita said with a hint of impatience. “Alright, we can go now, Jaydon said, hugging Alita. They hadn’t gone far when Samuel called out from behind, “Alita” Alita paused, and Jaydon could feel her body stiffen in his arms. She turned around. “Yes, Samuel? Is there something else?” Samuel lifted his hand. “I want to say thank you. The ring you picked out is lovely. I like it a lot. Who

knows, it might just suit my future wife perfectly” The word “wife jolted Alita. Wife? Is that what he is thinking? she thought. Meanwhile, Jaydon was also shocked, clenching his hands with anger. ‘Doesn’t she realize how improper it is to give rings so casually? he thought, feeling uncomfortable. Under Jaydon’s firm hold, Alita struggled to catch her breath. She knew Samuel was intentionally provoking them. Composing herself, she forced a smile. “Glad you like it! After all I found it on the ground. It wasn’t mine to keep, so consider it a gift Samuel replied, beaming more widely. “Well then, I won’t keep you two. Go enjoy your breakfast.” As they turned away from Samuel, Jaydon’s face darkened. Once inside the car, Jaydon couldn’t hold back his frustration any longer and demanded, “Alita, explain the ring to me right now.” “It’s just as you heard, Alita responded casually. “Samuel wanted pinky ring. I found one and gave it to him.” Is it really that simple?” Jaydon asked, unconvinced.” “Don’t overthink it. I can’t invent stories to feed your suspicions, Alita said, her voice calm.

He believed that Alita had some truth in what she was saying for stire, but not all. Under Jaydon’s intense gaze, Alita took slow and steady breaths, her eyes unwavering. Following a minute of tense silence, when Alita felt she was on the verge of breaking, Jaydon finally looked away and started the car. Alita turned to the window, letting out her breath, feeling her back drenched in sweat. Jaydon took her to an upscale restaurant nestled on the mountainside.

green vines, the beautiful vista of the forest stretched out before them. The delicious breakfast and the refreshing air, combined with his company, filled her with a sense of contentment and peace. “You seem to have a good appetite, Jaydon commented with a teasing smile. “Maybe I’m just hungry. This place is lovely. Do you frequent it? The staff seems to know you well,” Alita said, her mood lightening, offering Jaydon a gentle smile. “I suppose I do,” Jaydon responded vaguely. “You really know how to enjoy yourself,” Alita remarked, turning her head to breathe in the fresh air. The owner, not recognizing Alita and assuming she was Jaydon’s new playmate, approached and said. “Mr. Lewis, is everything okay?” “It’s great, Jaydon replied casually, reaching for his card to pay the bill. After taking a few steps away, the owner turned back. “Mr. Lewis, we’ve got e got the truffles Miss Mclean likes. Be her next time to try them.” Jaydon glanced at Alita nervously, forcing a smile. “Sure!” sure bring Alita felt her mood plummet. ‘I don’t get it. Why does it seem like Cecilia is always around?’ she said inwardly. The once-refreshing air now felt as sharp as a knife, each breath a painful reminder that she was sitting in what used to be Jaydon and Cecilia’s date spot. The thought that she was never the only one in his life made her realize how foolish she had been to think she was special to him these past days. Looking at her, Jaydon instantly picked up on something. He tried to explain, I haven’t been coming here much lately.” “It’s time to go to work,” Alita said, standing up and turning away without expression. Jaydon couldn’t help saying. “If something is bothering you, just spit it out. No need to bottle it up.” Alita stopped, turned back, and faced him. “What do you expect me to do, burn this place down? There are countless spots you two have shared. Should I burn every restaurant and hotel? Our marriage means nothing compared to your childhood sweetheart. That grand reason of yours

trumps everything, leaving me with nothing to say.” Jaydon pursed his lips and said, “I wouldn’t have brought you here if I knew you would be so bothered by it.” “You’re right! If I had known, I wouldn’t have come either. I wouldn’t dream of intruding on your sweet memories. If you want to stay longer, feel free. I’m leaving.” Alita replied, turning to walk away. at Outside the restaurant, Alita leaned against a tree and struggled to breathe, her heart aching. She had weathered many storms, but this was a blow at her happiest, turning her joy into joke. She felt like a fool-a naively stupid one. Jaydon came out to find Alita standing alone against a tree, her figure appearing vulnerable and lonely, stirring an inexplicable pain in his heart. He approached her and said softly, “Let’s go.” 2/8 Men’s Summer Collection 2024 ||| O Shop Now Sat, May 18 Chapter 67 Alita collected herself and walked to the car. On the way down the mountain, she shut her eyes, pretending to sleep, not wanting to see the scenery-or Jaydon-that brought her pain. When the car stopped, she opened her eyes and politely said, “Thanks. I’ll head up first, stepping out quickly. Jaydon knew Alita too well-her politeness was a sign of an impending cold war. She was a master of silent treatment, never one for loud confrontations. Back at the office, Alita was already immersed in her work, going through the day’s agenda and preparing the coffee. When Alita saw Jaydon come in, she reported the work schedule to him “Today at 10:00 AM, there’s an annual general meeting. and at noon, you have an appointment with the boss of Martinez Corporation…”

“Come closer, I can’t hear you, Jaydon interrupted, annoyed by her distancing herself. “If you can’t hear, I can speak louder. Alita raised her voice, nearly shouting the schedule across the room. “Enough. Come here now” Jaydon commanded, a sign he was getting angry. Alita exhaled deeply and approached, “What is it, boss?” Jaydon pulled her onto his lap. “I’m your husband, not your boss, and I want you now. He kissed her before she could refuse, his hand sliding up her skirt. Caught off guard, she opened her mouth, allowing him to dominate the kiss. His arms held her tight, his hands gently stroking her hair, soothing her with tenderness. Gradually, Alita stopped resisting, and the pain in her heart began to lessen. She could feel that he was trying to console her. They continued to ignore the vibrations of the phone and the ringing until someone pushed open the office door. 曲 Men’s Summer Collection 2024 Shop Now 11 11 Sat, May 18.
