Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan)
Chapter 419

Catherine's face was a picture of pure dilemma. She wanted to ask me to stay, but Hannah already made it clear that she needed to head home and change her clothes. After what happened for the past few days, Catherine couldn't stop Hannah from going home and change!

But if she let me leave, then it would be awkward since she had to stay in the room alone with Logan, who had just given her a lecture, and she was embarrassed!

But deep down, I knew this was the perfect chance for Logan to give Hannah a nudge in the right direction. She was safely escaped this time didn't mean she'd be so lucky in the future.

Especially if Catherine was serious about choosing Logan, and the feeling was mutual. If love was in the cards, they needed to hash out any potential firestorms ahead.

It was unmistakably time for a heart-to-heart between Catherine and Logan.

I bit back a chuckle at Catherine's constipated expression and made my quick escape!

In my heart of hearts, I knew she was probably over the moon.

When Hannah popped out, her grin was as mischievous as it gets. Before she could say a word, Geneva's call came. She wanted to know if I was still at the hospital since she wanted to come. I quickly stopped her, "I just left the ward. Why don't you swing by later? Logan's keeping an eye on her. They need some space, and it's a golden opportunity!"

Geneva was surprised, "You think there's something cooking between them?"

After giving Geneva the lowdown, she hummed in acknowledgment.

"I think Catherine's fallen hard this time. But Logan? He's the real deal, someone you can count on for life. And from what I can see, Logan's already smitten. So, we should help them?" I said. "You're spot on. Since you're out, how about we grab a bite and catch up? I'm heading out too," Geneva offered. "Feels like it's been ages!"

Her suggestion had me grinning from ear to ear. "Sounds perfect! Where to?"

"The Garden Café," Geneva proposed.

"Alright. See you there soon!" I ended the call and turned to Hannah, "Looks like that you'll have to go home and change your clothes later. Breakfast at the Garden Café, then we'll figure it out." Hannah nodded in agreement, "Forget the clothes-I'm all in for a good breakfast. Let's roll!"

We hopped into my car and made a beeline for the Garden Café.

The Garden Café was Goldenvale Town's premier breakfast spot, boasting a collection of the nation's finest morning eats, each dish a culinary masterpiece crafted by no ordinary chefs. The prices matched the prestige, the kind that made you suck in breath through your teeth.

It was a rare treat for me, a bit too lavish for my taste, but Geneva had a penchant for the finer things in life, and who was I to argue?

Pulling up at the Garden Café, Geneva had just arrived. I waited for her to park so we could head in together, but to my dismay, I bumped into the last person I wanted to see-Jaylan! Clearly, he hadn't expected to see me here either. In his mind, I was supposed to be back in Silverdale City. Quick to recover, he approached me with a smile plastered on his face. "Honey, what brings you here?" he greeted, then nodded at Geneva, "Mrs. Atwood!"

His performance was flawless, enough to make the café's waitresses swoon. Jaylan loved to play the gentleman in these settings, acting like he was king of the world.

Actually, Jaylan was allergic to the Garden Café, or more precisely, allergic to spending money here. He'd squirm at the thought of dining in such a place, not out of thriftiness, but because it pained him to pay the bills here.

Geneva maintained her composed smile, offering a simple nod before turning to me, "You two chat. I'll go order."

I knew it was her way of excusing herself. Ever since Geneva caught wind of Jaylan's antics, she couldn't stand the sight of him. I grabbed her arm, "No need, let's order together."

Then I said to Jaylan, "We're here for breakfast. You go on with your business."

I had a hunch. If Jaylan was here for breakfast, he must be meeting someone. Otherwise, he wouldn't bother with the Garden Café's fancy fare. He hated overpriced things.

Still smiling, Jaylan nodded and made his exit, "Sure, go ahead. We'll talk at home tonight."

I snorted internally. Home? Was that still his home? Dream on!
