Revenge is best served cold novel Chapter 1641

Jenna gave a somewhat awkward smile.

Aunt's remarks came a 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 some rest.”

“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.”

“Has a doctor seen her?”

“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.”

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 become even 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 some good rest at home tonight. I’ll be staying in the room next to yours. If you need anything... or, I could come to your room instead.”

Adler intentionally lightened the mood with some flirtatious words, easing the somewhat tense atmosphere from before.

Jenna glared at Adler, saying, “Who said you could come over? Don’t bother me! I don’t want my future mother-in-law to think I’m an easy girl.”
