Chapter 154
When Elaina came out with the dishes, she saw Andrew and Jalen talking about something. She
was surprised and confused.
Elaina still remembered that when she divorced Jalen, Andrew cursed Jalen for being a bastard.
She wondered why Andrew and Jalen suddenly became good friends.
“Andrew. What are you talking about?” Elaina asked.
Andrew felt like he had done something guilty. He quickly sat up straight and said seriously, “No…
Nothing. Just a casual chat.”
Andrew did not dare to look into Elaina’s eyes. He felt guilty.
However, Jalen had offered such generous conditions. Moreover, Jalen did not need Andrew to do anything for him. Jalen’s help was like a pie falling from the sky. It was really difficult for Andrew to
refuse it.
Elaina had a suspicious look on her face. She obviously did not believe Andrew in this.
Just as Elaina was about to ask, Jalen stood up and walked over. “Are you done? Do you need my
help?”
“No need. You are a guest. Just sit and wait for dinner,” Elaina said.
Jalen did not refuse. In fact, he did not really want to help Theodore. He asked Elaina, “Are you
tired? You should take a break.”
“No need.” Elaina glanced at Jalen and then turned to enter the kitchen again.
Jalen was very helpless about this. Although he made Elaina treat him better because of his injury,
it was not much better. Elaina was still very indifferent to Jalen.
When Jalen was sighing in his heart, Andrew said, “I’ve already said that even if I don’t object, Ella
will not be with you.”
Andrew had some understanding of Elaina. After all, Elaina was his sister.
Jalen did not reply. He just looked in the direction of the kitchen, thinking silently.
Before long, the dishes were served to the table. Although Jalen did not like Theodore, he had to
Jalen’s tone wasn’t good, and it was even a little cold.
Theodore chuckled and sneered, “Mr. Halton, don’t tell me you don’t know that this matter was
caused by Alisha.
“I don’t need to explain why Alisha targeted Ella, do I?”
Jalen was stunned. He really couldn’t find any words to refute it.
After a while, Jalen said unwillingly, “I didn’t want that to happen either. I don’t want to…”
“Mr. Halton, what you think is not important. What is important is what the facts are.” Theodore interrupted Jalen, not wanting to hear Jalen explain at all.
The atmosphere in the dining room gradually became tense. Andrew had already stopped eating. He felt that if this continued eating, Jalen and Theodore would start a fight soon.
Andrew thought, if they really fight, should I stand at the side and watch it, or should I help
Theodore?
But I’ve just had an agreement with Jalen. If I beat him up, won’t the cooperation be ruined?
Oh, no. I really don’t want to make a choice…
