Jenna gave a somewhat awkward smile.
Aunt's remarks ca bit too late.
Adler also cleared his throat, saying, "Mom, what are you talking about? Your son is not that kind of person!"
Saying this, Adler immediately pushed Jenna outside the house.
When the bedroom door closed behind them, Jenna frowned and asked, "What do we do? Your dad seems like a
real suspect.”
"Let's not worry about it now. We'll talk when he comes back tonight. For now, I'll take you to get srest."
"Okay."
Adler led Jenna to a clean room.
Jenna said, "Your mother seemed quite normal just now, not at all like someone with mental issues."
"It's intermittent. She appears normal, but sometimes she gets confused."

"Yeah," Adler said. "The doctor said it was a major shock that caused this. With proper care, she's pretty much
like she doesn't have an illness, just that her nerves are fragile. These years, my dad has kept her from going
out, probably because he doesn't want people to know he has a wife with mental illness."
"Has a doctor seen her?"
In my mind, my father has always been someone who values benefits above everything else, even more than his
reputation.
If people knew he had a wife with mental health issues, even if he didn't divorce her, he would beceven
more distant towards us.
Sometimes Adler would think, if it weren't for his mother being a distant relative of the Aldridge family, perhaps
his father would have cut ties with them long ago.
"You just get sgood rest at htonight. I'll be staying in the room next to yours. If you need anything... or,
| could cto your room instead."
Adler intentionally lightened the mood with sflirtatious words, easing the somewhat tense atmosphere from
before.
Jenna glared at Adler, saying, "Who said you could cover? Don't bother me! | don't want my future mother-
in-law to think I'm an easy girl."
Hearing Jenna mention the words

"Nonsense! You haven't even proposed. Why would | marry you?"
Jenna's face turned a bit red as she pushed Adler away, saying, "Go back to sleep, | need to rest too!"
Seeing Jenna's shy demeanor, Adler
didn't tease her any further and obediently said, "Alright, alright I'm going to sleep. You should rest early too!
After watching Adler leave, she closed the door to her room.
She looked down at the ring on her finger, her cheeks gradually flushing with a rosy tint. The next morning.

so he specifically asked the servants to bring it over later. Then, there was a knock at the door.
QUMS
Adler opened the door, only to see a maid standing at the entrance with breakfast, saying, "Sir, your breakfast."
"| asked you to prepare breakfast for Ms. Jenna, why are you bringing it to me?"
"Ms. Jenna?"
The maid looked puzzled at Adler, saying, "Didn't Ms. Jenna already leave?"
"She left? When?"
Adler frowned deeply.
Jenna left?
How could that be?
They were supposed to confront his father today for clarity. Jenna couldn't have just left.
"Tellexactly, where is Jenna?"
