Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 189

I was feeling quite rotten, despite Ronan's repeated assurances that cooperation was crucial. This entire ordeal was a severe blow to my self-esteem.

The ride was silent, with no attempt at communication from either side.

At the station, I was led into a meeting room and introduced to two officers. Their demeanor was friendly enough as they smiled, "Miss Aaliyah, right? No need to worry and this is a routine inquiry. Please, have a seat."

Although hurt and confused, I managed to retain my composure, sitting across from them with calm. Facing the officers, their penetrating gazes made me a tad nervous.

I couldn't help but think to myself, that life really is unpredictable. I never imagined I'd find myself being questioned by the police because of my husband's mistress. My resentment towards Jaylan grew.

Their questions, however, weren't too tough. I answered each honestly, without any evasion.

"Do you know Evan?"

"Yes!" I nodded assertively.

"How did you get to know him?"

"I met him about two months ago when I was picking up my son from school after recovering from an illness."

"Do you remember the exact date?"

"Yes. It was my son's birthday. I wanted to pick him up and celebrate." I then mentioned Probert's birthday.

The questions were simple, I felt no pressure. They even asked why I chose to return to Silverdale City at that particular time.

I answered all their questions with ease, not needing to think much.

Everything seemed to be going smoothly. The questioning didn't last an hour before they let me go.

"Well, I spilled all the beans, so it wasn't exactly hard." I replied nonchalantly, "It's more like a minor annoyance, a major insult. Who would've thought that I would be brought in for questioning one day? What a perfect life!" I said this mainly for Jaylan.

Catherine glanced at Jaylan disdainfully, "Just wait and see! There will be a silver lining in the end. You're not the one who's going to be insulted, so you don't need to be afraid."

"It's not that I won't be insulted, and it's that I've already lost face." I snorted, looking at the reporters camped outside the station, "Do I have any place to hide now?"

"Don't worry. I'll get you out of here safely." He said, pulling me closer, as if afraid I might get hurt.

"Of course, displaying your affection is your specialty." Catherine retorted irritably, "With so many kids, losing one or two isn't a big deal to you."

Jaylan halted, looking at Catherine, "Catherine, as Allie's best friend, you shouldn't be saying such things at a time like this."

Catherine bristled, stepping forward to confront him, "Then what should I say?"
