Chapter 157


    Chapter 157


    Peach Vige, the vige ina grew up in.


    Since she had memories, she lived there. She was very familiar with everything in the vige.


    ina had started learning all kinds of skills since she was a child, but she did not go to school.


    Instead, she learned from the teachers in the vige. She always felt that they were excellent and knew


    everything.


    When she was a child, she did not find it strange. She thought that the other viges were the same,


    and so were the other children.


    Then she became an adult and came to New York for college. Many yearster, she got her doctorate,


    entered the workce, and then married Jalen. The more she knew, the more she felt that there was


    something wrong with Peach Vige.


    Every teacher in the vige who taught her was outstanding. For example, Damon, who was clearly


    known by everyone in the outside world, stayed in the vige to be her teacher. There must be a


    reason, but ina did not know.


    ina had asked Dexter before, but Dexter did not answer her. He just told her not to think too much,


    and she would know when she needed to know.


    “E?”


    Jalen did not wait for ina to speak. Seeing that she was deep in thought, he could not help but call


    her name.


    ina came to her senses and said, “My grandfather has hired many teachers for me since I was


    young, so although I grew up in the countryside, I know a lot of things.”


    She did not say it in detail. She did not want too many people to know about the strange things in


    Peach Vige.


    “So that’s how it is. It seems that your grandfather is very good to you.” To be able to teach ina so


    well, the teachers Dexter hired must not be ordinary people.


    ina chuckled and said, “I only feel good when I grow up. When I was a child, I felt that he was too


    strict.”


    Thinking back to her childhood, ina felt that she lived a miserable life. Every day, she would go to


    different teachers’ homes, without any break time.


    She whined, and she made a scene, but Dexter didn’tpromise. So in the end, she failed.


    Now that she thought about it, Dexter did that for her good.


    Jalen nodded in agreement. “That’s true. When I was young, I was also forced to learn here and there


    by my grandfather. I even left home before.”

    ina was surprised and asked, “Really? I had never thought of leaving home.”


    They chatted andughed as if it was the first time they opened up to each other in a long time.


    However, the sound of knocking interrupted their conversation.


    ina walked over to open the door. She was not surprised to see Graham. “Graham.”


    “Ms. Gainsford.” Graham nodded, but he felt curious. “Is Mr. Halton here?”


    Graham had received a message from Jalen and learned that Jalen was at ina’s house. For this


    reason, he had specially waited downstairs for more than half an hour beforeing up. He had given


    them enough time.


    “Yes.” ina turned around, and Graham saw Jalen in the living room.


    Jalen got up and walked to the door. He said to ina, “Thank you. I had a wonderful evening.”


    “It’s fine.” ina shook her head and felt that it was okay. After knowing Jalen better, she did not seem


    to hate him that much.


    Of course, that was all.


    “I should go back.” Jalen walked out of ina’s room. He had just taken two steps when he turned


    back to say to her, “If there is anything I can do for you,e to me, OK?”


    ina was stunned, and then she said, “OK.”


    Jalen took the key from Graham and opened the door to his house. ina, however, had a serious


    expression after closing the door.


    She was not stupid. She already knew that the reason why Jalen did not return to the


    Halton’s Residence was that he did not want Nitzan to worry. More importantly, he wanted to protect


    her.


    Those people…


    Who the hell were they?
