Chapter 147


    Chapter 147


    In the restaurant, ina made herself at home. She didn’t eat well at the police station in the past few


    days.


    It was not because she was worried that she couldn’t get out. It was just that the food was not


    delicious.


    “Just enjoy it.” Jalen smiled and picked up some food for her.


    While ina was eating, her phone rang. She quickly answered the call. “Mr. Becker?”


    “Yes. It’s me.” Jaydon replied, “I’ve heard about what happened in New York. Are you alright?”


    “I’m fine. I just got out of the police station,” ina replied as she ate.


    “OK. I’m not familiar with the police in New York, so I can’t help you too much. But don’t worry, I’ll deal


    with thements online,” Jaydon said.


    ina felt that she was having good connections with others. So many people were willing to help her


    when she was in trouble. “OK. Thank you.”


    ina and Jaydon chatted for a while. When ina hung up the phone and looked up, she found that


    Jalen’s expression was very serious.


    ina was toozy to ask about it. To her, Jaydon could be considered a friend, but Jalen…


    ina did not know what rtionship they were in right now.


    ina did not speak, but Jalen could not keep silent. “When did your rtionship with Jaydon be


    so close? What if he is approaching you for a bad purpose?”


    “Oh? Then tell me what he wants?” ina smiled and asked. She reminded Jalen, “He is richer than


    me, and he doesn’tck women.”


    Jalen was annoyed. “Those things can’t prove that his intention is good. I am richer than you, and I


    don’tck women. Why do you treat me so poorly then?”


    ina looked at him and said nothing, but her eyes showed everything. Jalen pursed his lips and


    understood.


    It turned out that it was because he was ina’s ex-husband.


    “Jalen, it’s impossible for us to have a rtionship like that between ordinary people. Who would be


    friends with her ex-husband?” ina tried to convince him.


    However, Jalen did not care. He said, “I didn’t say I want to be friends with you.”


    ina was surprised.


    “My goal has been very clear from the beginning. I don’t want to be your friend. I want to be your


    boyfriend.” Jalen felt that he had to make it clear so that ina wouldn’t think that he was joking.


    ina didn’t want to reply. She didn’t even want Jalen to be her friend, let alone her boyfriend. ina


    couldn’t understand what Jalen was thinking.


    After the meal, Jalen drove ina to Kemp Apartment.


    “Have a good rest. I’ll deal with those things,” Jalen said to her.


    ina shook her head. “It’s fine. I will handle them myself.”


    “Why do you always refuse my help?” Jalen felt upset and helpless.


    “I just don’t like to trouble others. There are many things that I can handle myself.” It was a terrible habit


    to rely on others. Once the habit was formed, it would be difficult to get rid of.

    Jalen took a deep breath and tried to restrain his anger. He said, “I understand. You are used to being


    independent.”


    “Good. Don’t take it personally. It’s just that I have gotten used to that way.” Ever since


    ina was a child, her grandfather had told her to be independent and not rely on anyone. It had


    be a part of her.


    All of a sudden, the anger in Jalen’s heart disappeared. And he felt sorry for ina.


    She was so independent. She must have experienced a lot. Jalen wished he had met her earlier.


    ina entered the apartment, but Jalen still stood there and did not leave.


    “You can always rely on me.” Jalen suddenly said that as he faced ina’s back.


    ina paused, but she did not turn around. She just waved at Jalen. Then she disappeared.
