Chapter 14 I Need Your Help
Finished
His gaze shifted slowly to Jazlyn. “We’ve been married for three years, but we’ve always treated each other like strangers- distant and emotionless. Even without you, this marriage wouldn’t have lasted. Don’t blame yourself.”
“Is that so?” Freya’s eyes flickered with uncertainty.
Years ago, the Zinns had paid her to leave Kingsley. Young and naive at that time, she thought the money was enough to move on. Back then, Kingsley was merely the third son of the Zinns, far overshadowed by his eldest brother. But in just three years, everything changed. He had risen to become the Zinns‘ first heir and the powerful head of the Imperial Group.
Now, he was the most desirable man in Seaville–the dream of every woman.
When Freya returned to Clarethia and heard about his success, regret overwhelmed her. But luckily, Kingsley still seemed to care for her.
The only problem now was Jazlyn.
Even though Kingsley claimed there were no feelings between him and Jazlyn, the thought of them sharing a bed for three years made Freya’uneasy..
Jazlyn had to leave him.
Kingsley broke the silence, his tone calm. “Let her recover first.”
The doctor glanced curiously at Freya, who stood beside him.
I thought this man was the patient’s husband, but it seems not.
Without saying more, the doctor backed off.
Freya beamed as Kingsley offered to drive her home.
“Kingsley, it’s already late. Why don’t you spend the night here?” she asked softly.
“No need.”
As Freya stepped closer, Kingsley felt a strange discomfort.
Perhaps after three years of being around Jazlyn, he’d grown used to her faint, natural scent. Being close to another woman- even Freya–felt unfamiliar and unsettling.
“Are you wearing perfume?” he asked, noticing the strong, lingering fragrance.
Freya quickly sniffed her wrist. “Oh, yes. Do you not like it?”
That perfume was known to attract men, and she had spent a fortune on it,
Kingsley frowned slightly. “It’s not that. But pregnant women shouldn’t be wearing perfume all the time. It’s not good for you or the baby. You should rest early.”
He patted her head gently, turned, and walked away without looking back.
Freya clenched her fists in frustration as she patted her stomach.
This pregnancy was holding her back. If it weren’t for the baby, she could’ve done something intimate with Kingsley already.
Still, she comforted herself with the thought that his concern for her must mean he cared. Smiling, she went back inside to
rest.

Chapter 14 I Need Your Help
Jazlyn paused for a moment before answering softly, “I’ll find someone to sign for me.”
Left with no other option, she picked up her phone and sent a message to Noah.
“Noah, I might need your help with something.”
The next morning, Noah showed up at the hospital, his face full of concern.
“Jazlyn, are you okay? Why didn’t you tell me sooner that you weren’t feeling well?”
Jazlyn gave him a weak smile. “Hello, Noah.”
