Tess affirmed, her demeanor turning icy towards Jayden in an instant.
"Please leave promptly. We wouldn't want my boy to be distressed further." While Jayden remained silent, Elyse could no longer contain her frustration. Rising to her feet, she exclaimed, "Have you lost your senses? How could you treat Jayden this way? You summoned him when you needed him, only to push him away the moment you deemed him unnecessary. You forced him to come! Now you're driving him away because of one sentence from Bryce. Yes, Bryce is your beloved son. But isn't Jayden your son too?"
