Chapter sixty-six

What if she already heard it from someone else and misunderstood him? He walked into the mansion slowly. He felt somehow exhausted. It's not that easy. He is the only one trying to show everyone else that Cherry is lying.

But it is somehow difficult to do if even your best friend is still skeptical about your belief. He secretly hoped that if he explains to Jane, maybe she will understand him and not judge him like others.

As he walked to her room, he failed to notice how servants were walking around hurriedly like they were preparing for something or an event.

He reached her room and knocked on the door. He was there for few minutes knocking on the door. He was starting to get worried when no one answered. It is not that late so did they fall asleep so quickly?

He was just about to leave when the door suddenly open and Elena appeared. He stared at her obviously looking behind, searching for someone. Elena already knew who he was looking for but she was feeling a little bit upset so she won't tell him anything.

She asked when she already knows the answer,“Good evening Master Alan. What can I do for you?”

Alan smiled and nodded at her greetings. He looked reluctant at first but he eventually asked,“Is Jane inside? Is she asleep? Can I see her?”

He bombarded her with questions. Elena secretly sneered at him when he said this. What does he want now? She is behaving completely opposite to the Elena who had try to comfort Jane in the room.

“Sir, she is asleep so you can't see her. She actually cried herself to sleep,” she didn't add the last part. She only said that in her mind even if she so badly wanted to spit it in his face, she held her unnecessary aggressive emotion.

It's not getting upset over what doesn't concern her. Alan nodded and before he could say anything else, Elena shut the door. He stood and stared at the door. Did she just slam the door in his face?

He shook his head sideways and thought he was just probably overthinking it. He just sighed and walked away. He is so tired right now. He would try talking to her tomorrow.

“Is he gone?,” Jane's sudden question startled her. Elena put her hand on her racing heart and peered at Jane. She thought she was already asleep so how did she know?

“Is he gone?,” Jane asked again with teary eyes that indicated she was about to cry again. Elena sighed and walked to her.

“Yes, he already left. Please don't waste your tears on him. He wanted to talk to you but I told him you were asleep. If you were there, you would have seen the dejected look on his face when I told him that you were asleep. Even though I wanted to snap at him, I just kept my cool and slammed the door in his face,” she said and Jane giggled at her last words.

Elena smiled when she saw Jane giggling. It's great to see her smile after all the tears. Jane just sighed and rolled on the bed facing the wall.

Alan walked up the stairs staggering like a drunk man. He doesn't understand why he is so exhausted this night. As he passed by his mom's room, her door was ajar.

She was sitting in a way that she was facing the door directly. As soon as he passed by, she called him. He groaned but walked to her.

“Alan see this. I want to hire an interior designer to design a room for my grandchild. Is this design okay?,” she asked him as she showed him a picture of purple coloured theme room.

It looked absolutely beautiful but he was not in the mood to choose any thing especially for a bastard. Someone that is not even his flesh and blood. Why would he waste his time and money on foolish things?

“Mom, can we do this tomorrow? I am so exhausted right now and I can't think of anything. Maybe when Cherry comes, you should show her,” Alan told her.

Madam Jennie frowned and looked at him. What is this unfilial son of hers saying? She really wants to shout at him but Joe is currently asleep. He insisted on sleeping in her room tonight and she doesn't know why.

So she doesn't want to wake him at all. She could only glare at Alan and say,“What do you mean? This is also your child that we are talking about here so why should Cherry be the one to do everything? You are the father so you should also assist in doing some things.”

Alan frowned and just turned around not saying a word. The statement 'You are the father' made him very irritated but he doesn't want to lash out at his mother. So he could only leave without a word.

Madam Jennie sighed wondering what the heck is wrong with him. Why doesn't he seem excited about the arrival of his first child?

Mike rushed to his room feeling a little bit upset. Why did Ella leave the room? Why does she like disobeying him so much? He didn't say a word and just headed towards his room.

Sharon visibly panicked. Why is he going to his room? Oh! Sharon, where were you expecting him to go? Sharon grabbed his hand tightly, her fingers piercing into his arms painfully.

“Mike not that way. Stop. You are going the wrong way,” she said trying to stop him. And Mike actually stopped. Oh my God! What has she done to him to make him follow all her instructions?

But the next thing he did suprised me and her. He just dropped her on the floor. “Ouch!!!!,” Sharon shrieked in pain. It's like her back bone just broke. Why the heck did he drop her like that?

Mike glared at her. This is not Ella. Even if he doesn't know why she looks like Ella right now, he is very sure she is not Ella. She can't be his Ella. Hmm! Now I'm

curious. Why does he suddenly feel or think she is not his Ella?
