Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 103

However, I didn't rush to add her. Instead, I clicked on the surveillance camera for a quick scan.

I saw Zora lounging in the living room downstairs, casually flicking through her phone. She was growing more audacious by the day, acting like she was the lady of the house. She even had some fresh fruit beside her, looking quite content.

Clara was probably in her room since she was nowhere in sight, while Jaylan was in the study.

I zoomed in on Zora's frame and saw that she was engrossed in her phone. Judging from her expression, she was deep in a chat with someone.

I smirked a little. The house was turning into a scene straight out of a spy drama. I was sure the elusive Clara was up to no good as well. I couldn't believe that after hooking up with Jaylan, she was only interested in having sex with him. That didn't seem to fit her character at all.

I had a feeling that this young girl was more cunning than her sister. I must keep a close eye on her, especially after the shout she’d made downstairs earlier. The more I thought about it, the more it seemed off. That was definitely not a coincidence.

About fifteen minutes later, I replied Marissa's text with a “Hello?” and went through her profile. As I expected, she hadn't posted anything. Her profile was set to private.

I didn't initiate a conversation and decided to wait and see how she would play her cards. I was ready to play along.

Just as I was thinking, she sent a message, "Aaliyah! Is that you?"

I deliberately replied with a question mark, and cursed in my heart, "Damn it, bitch. You've added me, and you're still asking me that stupid question?"

I used to have her on my contact list, but she had changed her number. Perhaps she did that to avoid me.

She quickly sent another message, "It's Marissa. Thank you for taking care of my child today! I've been feeling unwell these past few days, so I couldn't pick him up. His father ended up being late, and I was worried sick! Men are just not cut out for this!"

"It was no big deal!" I texted back with a smiley face. "I was worried he might run off and get into trouble. After all, he's still a kid!"

After sending the message, I snapped a screenshot of her profile picture and sent it to Catherine, asking her to find Marissa in the rich ladies' group chat and check out her profile.

"Got it! Just wait and see. I won't let her off easily!" Catherine declared, peacing out to work her magic on Marissa.

Marissa continued to chat with me about trivial matters, which were all empty pleasantries. The only significant thing was when she asked if my husband was at home. I figured that was why she added me.

Towards the end of our chat, I kindly offered to pick up her son if she needed help, but she quickly refused, saying his father would do it.

I chuckled to myself. She seemed to be on high alert against me. Well, just let his father do the pick-up job. I would be there each day to see how his 'daddy' would handle it.

As I was smirking, Catherine suddenly sent me a video. I quickly ended my chat with Marissa.

When I clicked the video Catherine sent, I was instantly fuming...
