Falling For My Mysterious Wife

Chapter 89

Elaina felt that she always had bad luck. Otherwise, how could she frequently meet Jalen in New York, such a big city?

Jalen seemed to have sensed something. He looked in Elaina’s direction and coincidentally met Elaina’s gaze.

At that moment, Jalen was in a very complex mood.

“It’s Ms. Gainsford and her friend.” Alisha followed Jalen’s gaze and saw Elaina, who was not far away.

Just then, Elaina retracted her gaze and chatted to Joyce, “You are more familiar with the food here than me. Go ahead to order. I am not picky about food.”

“All right.” Joyce did not decline. She was indeed very familiar with all the dishes in this restaurant.

Both Elaina and Joyce ignored Jalen and Alisha who were not far away as if they were just strangers.

“Jalen, do you want to go over and say hello?” Alisha asked tentatively.

“No need.” Jalen shook his head.

Jalen could feel that Elaina disliked him. In addition to what she said last night, it would be a little embarrassing if he tried to get close to her.

As for Nitzan’s instructions, Jalen thought that he would certainly let Nitzan down.

After dinner, Joyce took Elaina to the shopping mall downstairs to select a gift. They stopped at the door of a gift shop.

“Elaina, I think the elder should prefer some crystal items, which look better than jewelry and gold items. What do you think?” Joyce was uncertain, so she asked for Elaina’s opinion.

Elaina did not refute. She said, “Let’s go in and take a look. It has to be caught eyes.”

“Okay.”

When they just entered the gift shop, a familiar voice was heard inside.

“Jalen, how do you like this crystal statue? Do you think your grandpa will like it?” Alisha’s voice was heard.

Jalen and Alisha subconsciously turned their heads when they heard the footsteps of Joyce and Elaina. So they could not pretend that they did not see Elaina even if they wanted to.

“Ms. Gainsford, what a coincidence! Are you here to buy a gift as well?” Alisha said first. Since they were doomed to meet, she could not be at a disadvantage.

Elaina did not want to say hello to Alisha. However, with so many people watching, she had to be courteous. “Yes, I come with my friend to pick a gift.”

“It’s so coincident! I am also here to pick a gift.” Alisha looked surprised.

Joyce, who was at the side, subconsciously asked, “Are you here to buy the gift for Mr. Halton’s birthday on the day after tomorrow?”

“You too?” This time, Alisha was surprised.

Joyce nodded. She said to herself, how coincident it is!

As they talked, Alisha had already decided to buy the crystal statue, and she immediately paid the bill.

While waiting for the clerk to pack it into a gift box, Alisha looked at Joyce. “Do you want to select some as well? I think a crystal item is a good birthday present.”

Joyce smiled awkwardly. She thought, you have selected the crystal item. If I select the same, it will be ridiculous by then.

Joyce looked at Elaina with a pleading gaze. She was at loss about what to do.

Elaina learned from the conversation between Joyce and Alisha that Nitzan’s birthday was on the day after tomorrow. It shocked her for a long time.

It was not that she did not take Nitzan seriously, but during the two years of marriage, Nitzan had not held a birthday banquet, so she did not know it.

The birthday banquet was held probably for Nitzan’s 70th birthday. That was why it was so grand.

“Elaina?” Elaina was in thought, and she did not notice Joyce’s blink, so Joyce had to remind Elaina.

Elaina recovered from her thought and said to Joyce, “If you buy a gift for Mr. Halton, you don’t have to worry. I know what he likes.”
