All Chapters of Falling for the rejected son-in-law: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Clearing his throat at the sight of the funny way Jada was looking at him, Xander straightened his posture, his expression turning colder. He took a step forward, his gaze locking with hers. "Mr. Smith, I believe you're mistaken," Xander began, shoving his hands in his pocket. "Miss Hudson's memories lost have no bearing on her ability to perform her job. In fact, her resilience and determination in the face of adversity only serve to highlight her exceptional skills and dedication." Calmly, Jada's eyes widened in surprise, and her lips parted slightly. She had never expected Xander, a man that Mr. Clark said he's known for his aloofness and indifference, to stand up for her. But here he was, defending her in front of the entire room, his voice filled with conviction. Meeting her eyes again, Xander continued, his gaze never leaving Jada's. "In my past interactions with Miss Hudson, I have witnessed firsthand her exceptional knowledge and expertise in the industry. She possesses a k

The mischief in Xander's eyes made Jada feel as if he could see right through her facade. Her lips thinning into a line, she raised her head, challenging him once more as he continued staring at her, his gaze flashing with amusement and intrigue. Jada wanted nothing but to wipe that look off of his smug, arrogant face. Before she could retaliate, Mr. Cairos cut in, looking directly at Xander, his eyes trembling with worry as he said, "Is there a problem, Mr. Gracias?" Looking back at Jada, Xander smirked and said, "I don't know. Is the one, Miss Hudson?" The thought of Chase and his trust issue with her made Jada frown, knowing that the reason she didn't want to have lunch with Xander was that she wanted Chase's permission first. But she didn't utter a word, and Mr. Cairos turned away from her, addressing Xander. "We and the other board members were over the moon when we heard that you guys were not canceling your contract with us-" "And we are not." Xander interrupted, cutting

After calling in sick to the company for three whole days, Jada sat in the backseat of her Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV. She rested back in her seat, her body still recovering from that day with Chase. "Ben, can you stop at Broun cafe? I need my usual if I am going to get through this day." Jada said as she stared out of the window, smiling at the thought of spending the last three days with Chase. The memories of them cuddled up on the sofa watching movies, cooking and messing up the kitchen, just sitting in the silence of the garden and staring at the sun go down made her smile, her cheek growing hot. It was the happiest she had ever seen him, and it was because of the fact she did not have to deal with work or being away from him, and he was taking care of her. But now that she was going back to the company, a part of her felt nervous about what this meant for them. After a few minutes, the five vehicles came to a stop, and Jada looked at her driver, saying, "I will be quick. There'

Relief washed over Jada as the truth spilled out, no longer confined to the shadows of doubt. The battle she had fought so fiercely, the struggle to prove her innocence, had finally reached its climactic moment. A laugh from Leon echoed over the speaker, and then she said without taking her eyes off Chase, "Isn't it pitiful running after a woman that doesn't love you? Even if Mr. Aniston turns me away, I rather eat dog shit than come crawling back to you, Leon." Pushing Maria off him, Leon barked into the phone, "Jada-" "What?! You thought that ruining my relationship would force me back into your arms, huh? What a fool. I am not a bitch that eats her vomit after throwing it out, Leon." Jada spat. There was a short silence after she finished speaking, and suddenly, Leon started laughing, his laughter getting more hysterical. "That's priceless! That's so damn hilarious!" Leon growled lowly, the veins on his neck popping up. "Do you ever stop and think that I am doing all of the

A yawn escaped from the depths of Jada's lip and echoed through the room, a testament to the weariness that had settled into her bones. The weight of the week's burdens had finally lifted, leaving her feeling lighter than air. With a little stretch that seemed to reach the very tips of her fingers, she welcomed the embrace of her soft, inviting mattress once more, hugging the pillow as her eyes fluttered closed. But just as she was about to succumb to the sweet oblivion of sleep, the sound of the door creaking open pierced through the silence, and Jada's senses perked up, her body stirring ever so slightly. She was not alone. The footsteps that followed were soft, barely audible, but they resonated within her, igniting a warmth that spread through her veins since she knew whose presence it was. Even as the bed shifted under the weight of another, Jada remained still, her eyes stubbornly shut. Smiling down at her, Chase's arm snaked around her waist, his touch gentle and posses
