Chapter 830:
Elyse quickly slammed the door shut and locked it, her heart pounding. Without pausing to catch her breath, she
hurried to the bathroom. There she found Jayden, nonchalantly lounging in her bathtub.
She stood frozen. “You didn’t leave?”
From the comfort of the warm water, Jayden looked up at her and said casually, “Did | ever say | was going to?”
Elyse couldn't help but complain, “You always used to leave without saying goodbye.”
She stood momentarily stunned after her words. What was she doing? Accusing Jayden of being inconsiderate in
the past?

Jayden watched her carefully before responding dryly, “I left quietly because | didn’t want to wake you.”
Elyse regained her composure, her expression hardening. “Your explanations are meaningless now.”
After a pause, Jayden asked, “Was that Edward who cby earlier?”
Elyse nodded. Turning her back to him, she said firmly, “Finish your bath and leave. | need to handle Edward.”
Jayden simply nodded, his eyes following her as she exited the bathroom.
Once outside, Elyse rubbed her temples, feeling an unexplainable annoyance. She took a deep breath, steadied
her emotions, and opened the door to confront what she expected next. As anticipated, Edward was still there,
greeting her with a broad smile, eager to share his joy. However, Elyse wasn’t in the mood to entertain his
cheerful demeanor. She avoided his eyes and instructed, “Go downstairs and wait for me. Ill join you after |
change.” At that moment, she preferred Edward’s company over Jayden’s.

“What are you doing here?” Edward's voice sharpened as he gestured behind her.
Elyse froze and turned to see Jayden standing in the doorway, a white towel wrapped around his waist, his upper
body exposed and well-defined. He was casually shaving.
“You're going out? With him?” Jayden’s voice was laced with disdain.
Edward's smile faltered, his jaw clenching. “You're the one who should be elsewhere. Shouldn't you be with
Aarya?”
Jayden’s laugh was cold, his eyes glinting with scorn. “Aarya is just a girlfriend, not my wife. I'm not tied to her

Edward's forced smile returned. “And Elyse? Is she your wife then?”
Jayden’s response was firm, edged with defiance. “If | say she’s my wife, then she is.”
Caught in the middle of this tug-of-war, Elyse’s frustration peaked. She pressed her lips tightly together, her
expression one of sheer irritation, and headed back to her room to change.
Jayden reacted quickly, seizing her arm. “Are you really planning to go out with him? Does he deserve your
time?”
Elyse yanked her arm away, her tone sharp. “Who said I'm going out with him? I'm just going to have dinner
alone. | don’t want either of you to follow me.”
But Jayden blocked her way, his presence imposing. “No, you're going to have dinner with me.”
