Chapter 92

Jonathan’s tone was impatient.

I mood goleily at the doorway, keeping myself hidden.

Alicia immediately lifted her head, curious. “Did you two fight again!*

Jonathan did’t answer her

Jim frowned, shooting her a displeased look. “Do you rare that mich about whether they’re fighting?

୮

Alicia quickly lowered her head. “I just think Jonathan is already exdaunted, and she’s always quarreling with him ”

Jim’s face went enldashe practically snapped at her, “Mind your own bustness and stop poking your nose where it doesn’t belong.“” /

1 stayed at the door

Something felt eft Jim’s feelings for Alicia were definitely different. The situation suddenly got complicated, so I stayed outside, listening closely

Alscia’s bone grew a little bitter. “Why can’tIcare? Jonathan and 1 grew in together. Mr. Food Senter treated me like his own Why shouldn’t I care? I just can’t stand

Ti pave her a cold glance. “Everyone knows what’s really on your mind. Alicia, Lean’t convince you, nor can control you,but you better watch yourself

Her face turned pale as she looked at Jonathan with hart eyes. “Janalsın, lookat him! All he does is criticize me!”

He tapped his lingers on the desk, then his eyes licked beyond the office doorway to wherestood.

1 froze, thinking, he was about to expose me, but instead, he quickly looked away, pretending not to see me. He tumed back to Jim. “Say less about her.

Jim fummwed his brow,clearlyannoyed. “Jonathan, why are you letting her get away with this?”

“Am I? Jonathan’s tone was that.

Tim’s frown deepened. “You’re spoiling her too much. Oneday, it’s going to blow up in your face.“”

Altera pause, he added, “he’s in the next room. You should check on her before she starts maldog a scene again.”

“She’s fine,” Jonathansaid, a hint of irritation creeping into his voice, as if hedidn’twant to hear my name. “I’ll go once Alicia’s okay, ”

I wasn’t sure if he was sayingthatto me or just out loud. He’d clearly seen me just momentsago, yet he spoke like I wasn’teventhere,almostasithe meant to sting me deliberately.

I didn’t care much anymore.

But my head felt woozy, probably from the lack of rest these past few days. The dizziness only got worse after that fight.

Ishook my head toclearit when Jim’s voice came through from inside again.

He said to Jonathan, “Bise isn’t herself. You’d better stay withher

“What’s wrong withher?”Jonathan’sfingers suddenly stopped tapping as he looked at Jim

“She’s your wife. You should ask yourself what’s really going on withher, fm replied.

“stop being so cryptic,” Jonathan snapped, growing Impatient.

Jim didn’t say another word. He walked over to Alscia and continued bandaging her..

Alicia muttered, “What could possibly be wrong with Elise? She’s done this before, faking suicide attempts just to get Jonathan’sattention.

“Who knows how mumtimesalie’sself–harmed? But it’s always all show, no real hamu. It’s all jast herscheines”

Jim shot her a cold look

Alicia lowered her lurad, clearly a little scared, “I’m notwrong.”
