NovelBookChapter 244:
Balancing a plate of dessert, Tracy beckoned to Elyse, saying, “Look what I've brought for you. Have a taste. You
barely ate at lunch, all for this dress.”
Seeing Tracy, Elyse’s disappointment etched deeper onto her face.
Sensing Elyse’s sour mood, Tracy hurried over, asking, “What's wrong? Why the long face?”
Elyse’s fists clenched, a feeling of anxiety forming in her chest. “Jayden hasn't cback yet. Do you think he’s
ditchingjust like Theo did before?”
She remembered that similar things had happened before. Once, on Elyse’s birthday, Theo had promised to host
a celebration for her. That day, she had dressed up gorgeously in a pink gown. But Theo never showed up, even
after the party ended. Elyse couldn't reach him at all. Embarrassed and under the pitying gazes of her friends,
Elyse had fled. The next day, Elyse managed to contact Theo. She asked why he hadn't come. He mentioned he
had to handle something and then simply forgot. However, the truth was that Theo had gone to the theater with
Kaelyn. From then on, Elyse never expected Theo to celebrate her birthday again. It would have ended badly
regardless.
Elyse feared a repeat of such a scenario. She was concerned that Jayden might abandon her at her birthday
celebration, subjecting her to everyone's pity on her special day.

“Tracy, what should | do now? | can’t reach Jayden. Am | being abandoned again?” Elyse grasped Tracy's hand,
looking lost.
Tracy quickly set down her plate and embraced Elyse tightly, reassuring her. “No, Jayden is not like Theo. He
wouldn't do that. Don’t worry too much.”

After thinking for a while, Tracy tried to make up an excuse. “Maybe something unexpected happened, like a car
issue.”
Elyse’s face turned paler. “Goodness, no, | didn’t mean that. I'll check with Driscoll. Don’t worry.” Tracy then
smacked her lips regretfully and headed towards the door.
Watching Tracy leave, Elyse felt messed up. She sat anxiously in the chair. Suddenly, the dressing room door
swung open.
Thinking it was Tracy returning, Elyse asked gloomily, “Did you find out anything?”
The person who entered remained silent.
Growing suspicious, Elyse turned around and found Theo in a dark blue suit looking at her with a complicated
expression.
With a stern expression, Elyse got up and questioned cautiously, “What are you doing here?”
No one had invited Theo. Elyse wondered how he knew and dared to show up uninvited.
Theo said, “If | decide to show up, I'll find a way.”
Elyse just stared at him, full of wariness and discomfort.
Meeting her cold gaze, Theo fought back his own emotions and asked, “I remember that today isn’t your
birthday, right? Does Jayden care so little about you that he doesn’t even know when it is?”
Elyse retorted, “What's it to you? You're just an outsider. Stay out of it.”
Theo persisted, “If you feel mistreated, you can always cback to me.”
Elyse scoffed, “Cback to you? Why would I do that?”
Theo proposed, “If you divorce Jayden, I'd consider getting back together, even marrying you after we reunite.”
Elyse looked at Theo amusedly for a moment, then asked, “I heard you were getting along well with your blind
date. What would happen to her if we got back together and you married me?”

Theo assumed Elyse was considering his offer. He believed that she still had feelings for him, assuming she had
married Jayden only because she was hurt by him.
“If you marry me, it will just be you and me,” Theo said. “I'll cut ties with my blind date.”
Elyse thought Theo was ridiculous. Did Theo really think he was charming enough to say those things and sway
her?
Theo continued, “If you agree to marry me, you'll always be my wife, and I'll give you whatever you want.”
Elyse responded, “Jayden has already done what you're offering. Impresswith something different.”
Theo was at a loss. He thought hard but couldn’t cup with anything that would appeal to Elyse.
Elyse smiled and teased, “What's the matter? Run out of ideas?”
Theo frowned and said unhappily, “What condition can make you divorce Jayden? Tell me, and I'll do it.”
Elyse asked with a smile, “Aren’t you my ex-boyfriend? Don’t you know me?”
Theo replied unhappily, “I'm not a mind reader. How am | supposed to know what you want?”
Elyse laughed without saying anything. This man barely knew her but was eager to marry her.
Theo, irritated by her laughter, asked, “What's so funny?”
Elyse answered, “I find it amusing that you're the president of a big company, yet you know so little.”
