Falling For My Mysterious Wife

Chapter 31

Elaina was sure that Jalen was talking to her.

But she wasn’t used to the questioning tone and words.

“Answer me. Will you accept any other man except me?” Jalen asked again. His voice sounded cold and even

a little angry.

Elaina couldn’t help but laugh. She looked at Jalen with interest. “Mr. Halton, are you questioning me? Who

are you to me?”

Jalen was silent.

“I’m afraid you’re used to being in a higher position, so you speak in a commanding tone to everyone. Is that

so?

“Unfortunately, I am not your subordinate, and I have no obligation to answer your question.”

When the words were finished, the elevator arrived. Elaina took the lead and stepped in without any intention

of staying with Jalen.

But Jalen did not seem to give up. He followed Elaina into the elevator.

In the elevator, Elaina and Jalen maintained a distance. Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was

particularly depressing.

Just as Elaina thought that this silence would continue until they returned home respectively, Jalen spoke,

“Sorry, my tone was not very good just now, but I was just worried about you.

“Saul is not simple. He has bad intentions when he approaches you. I just hope that you don’t get too close to

him.”

Elaina shot Jalen a glance and looked away. “I don’t care if he is simple or not. I don’t care why he gets close

to me. I’m not familiar with him.”

Without waiting for Jalen to speak, Elaina continued, “What’s more, who I want to get close to is my

business. You seem to have no control over it.”

Elaina’s words made Jalen angry. Jalen said, “I’m not joking with you.”

He said it with a serious expression, but Elaina did not care.

“Mr. Halton, you should take care of yourself,” Elaina said with a sneer.

Suddenly, the lights went out, and the surroundings instantly fell into darkness. And the elevator stopped.

“What? Seriously?” Elaina was helpless. She patted the elevator button, but there was no response.

She took out her cell phone, turned on the flashlight, and pressed the emergency button with the weak light. Unfortunately, there was still no response.

“There was a blackout.”

She was annoyed. She felt she was unlucky.

As she thought of this, she could not help but look at Jalen. And she complained, “Mr. Halton, try to do

something. I don’t want to spend the night here.”

But Jalen did not respond.

“Mr. Halton?” Elaina shouted, and she cast the light on Jalen’s body.

Only then did she realize that the tall man in front of her had a head full of cold sweat. Even Jalen’s hand

holding the elevator handle was trembling slightly.

Elaina wondered if Jalen was frightened.

When this thought appeared in her mind, even Elaina herself felt that it was impossible. How could Jalen be

frightened?

“What’s wrong with you?” Elaina asked softly.

After a long time, Jalen said with gritted teeth, “I’m fine. Call the property management office.”

“Okay.” Elaina nodded and was about to make a call.

But at that moment, the faint light was instantly extinguished. Elaina exclaimed, “My cell phone has no

power.”

As soon as she said this, she heard a thud as if something had fallen to the ground. Elaina was shocked and

quickly looked at the place where the sound came from.

“Jalen, are you all right?” Elaina asked while groping her way over.

When she groped her way over, she found that Jalen was sitting on the ground while trembling.

Elaina confirmed that Jalen was frightened. She was surprised, but she did not forget to hold Jalen’s hand

and said, “Take a deep breath and try to calm yourself down as much as possible.”

As she spoke, she tried her best to demonstrate to Jalen so that Jalen would not lose control.

“Jalen. Can you still stay awake?” Elaina asked. She was anxious and had to think of a way to get out.

Otherwise, something might happen to Jalen.
