Jalen nodded. He raised the knife and cut the tomato in his hand into thin slices. His skill was no worse
than a five-star chef’s.
ina felt as if she saw a different Jalen.
“Surprised?”
Seeing that she did not speak, Jalen turned to look at her. ina was still in shock.
“When I was young, I grew up with my grandfather. Back then, he was busy managing thepany
and had no time to take care of me. Although there were maids at home, I was young, and my
grandfather was rarely at home, so they often did not give me food, and I slowly learned to cook.”
He knew from a very young age that he had to rely on himself, so he studied hard and learned all the
life skills in order to live better.
It was the first time ina heard Jalen talk about these things, and she was interested.
“Where were your parents? Were they not at home?”
Jalen straightened his back, and his face became gloomy. “They divorced a long time ago. My dad left
to pursue love. My mom couldn’t stand the blow andmitted suicide.”
She died in front of Jalen.
Jalen slept very early that day, and he was very happy that his mom shared the bed with him.
However, he did not expect that when he woke up in the middle of the night and tried to burrow in his
mother’s arms, what he touched would be a cold body.
It was dark in the room. Little Jalen did not know what had happened. He just kept calling his mother,
but there was no response.
When his crying rmed his grandfather downstairs and the lights in the room turned on,
Jalen saw his mother’s face, which had already lost its color.
Since that day, he began to fear the darkness. He always felt that darkness would bring bad things.
Of course, he would not tell anyone about these things. ina was no exception. He did not need
anyone’s sympathy.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t know…” ina felt guilty. Although she had been married into the Halton family for
two years, she actually did not know anything about the Halton family.
On one hand, Nitzan did not tell her, and on the other hand, she was not interested in these things.
She always felt that she would not be in the Halton family for too long, so she did not spend time
understanding them.

“It doesn’t matter. It’s all in the past.” Jalen shrugged indifferently. He did not care.
He said, “Aren’t you curious about the enmity between me and Saul? Actually, my father left with his
mother back then. Both of them abandoned their families for the so-called love.
“In the end, my mothermitted suicide. Although Saul’s father is alive, he has be an alcoholic.
Every time he was drunk, he would go home and beat Saul up. He even married another woman, and
the two of them tortured Saul together.”
Saul hated his father and mother. He med Jalen’s father and the entire Halton family.
After listening to Jalen exin what had happened, ina could not react for a while. She did not
expect Jalen to have such a story with Saul.
“So for so many years, even though he provoked you frequently, you did not do anything to him
because you felt guilty?” ina asked.
However, Jalenughed, “Why should I feel guilty?”
“It was your father who took his mother away…”
“Didn’t his mother also take my father away?” Jalen asked.
ina felt that it made sense. Jalen’s father and Saul’s mother werepletely voluntary. They didn’t
force each other. So why did Saul hate the Halton family? It was somewhat unreasonable.
As if he knew what she was thinking, Jalen said, “I think he is very pitiful.
“His father mes everything on my father, thinking it is my father who ruined his family. Saul up in
such a family and had been brainwashed a long time. Ago. grew
“You don’t know how badly he was beaten up in the past. He was often covered in blood.
In such a family environment, his mental state has long been abnormal.”
