Jalen raised his injured arm and said to ina, “There are Grandpa’s men in my ce. Grandpa will be
worried if he knows this. He is old, and I don’t want to worry about him.”
This exnation made ina feel guilty. “Well, you don’t have to move out…”
“It doesn’t matter. I can live in the Halton’s Residence though it is a bit far from mypany.” Jalen
smiled to rx ina.
Besides Nitzan, Jalen didn’t go back to the Halton’s Residence for another reason.
Jalen felt that someone tailed them back in the supermarket, but nothing happened in the end.
Therefore, he was worried and decided to stay at Kemp Apartment for one night. If something
happened, he could give ina instant help.
Of course, Jalen didn’t tell ina his concern.
ina checked her watch and found that it was almost ten o’clock in the evening.
Graham hadn’t appeared yet, so ina said, “Don’t wait here. Do you like going to my ce?”
“Well… May I?” Jalen hesitated. He felt both happy and restless.
“Come on! You got injured for the sake of me. Although I don’t want to get entangled with you, I am not
that heartless,” Speaking, ina led the way.
With a bitter smile, Jalen followed behind ina. “You are quite candid. You don’t give me any hope.”
“I am just telling the truth,” ina said. In the elevator, silence fell. Jalen started the conversation by
saying, “Does Captain Russett have any updates about those suspects?”
“Yes. He said that he had arrested three suspects and would catch the rest soon,” ina replied.
Sergio’s efficiency did impress ina.
The elevator stopped, so ina and Jalen walked out together and headed for ina’s apartment.
“If Alisha turns out to be the culprit, what will you do?” Jalen asked.
This question shocked ina, who was opening the door. ina turned to look at Jalen behind her.
“Do you want me to spare her?”
“No.” Jalen shook his head in fear that ina would misunderstand him.
“I am curious. As for what you will do, I won’t interfere.”
Aina was surprised. She opened the door and walked into the apartment.
The living room was still the same as thest time Jalen hade. It was so warm and cozy that
people felt reluctant to leave.
ina poured Jalen one ss of water and then said, “She broke thew, so I will leave her to the
police. I am an ordinary person and don’t have the right to punish others at will.”
“Okay.” Jalen didn’tment on the part about Alisha. However, he did not agree with ina for her
calling herself an ordinary person.
Jalen said with a smile, “You are not an ordinary person.”
“You are the famous Dr. Gainsford. Mr. Dorthea’s disciple. Moreover, you are proficient inputing. I
do not know what else you are good at.”Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.
ina sat opposite Jalen. She was calm before the titles Jalen had mentioned. “They are just my
means to make a living. There’s nothing to talk about.”
Means to make a living? Jalen thought. Jalen did not know whether tough or cry. The others will want
to beat her up if they hear her now, Jalen thought.
“I heard from Grandpa that you had lived with your grandpa in the countryside. When did you learn
those skills?” Jalen was curious.
ina shot one nce at Jalen and looked hesitant. Instantly, Jalen said, “You may not answer this
question if you don’t want to. I was just asking. I don’t mean to inquire about your privacy.”
Jalen wanted to know more about ina in every aspect.
“There’s nothing I can’t say. I just don’t know where to start.” ina leaned against the sofa and was
lost in her thoughts
