Chapter 884:
Jayden, a tall man, remained seated, avoiding her gaze, and whispered timidly, “I was concerned about your
hand hurting.”
Elyse sneered, “If you hadn't angered me, would | be this mad?”
Once again, Jayden was silent.
Her frustration grew as she lashed out with a kick, exclaiming, “I've said so much, yet you remain silent. It seems
you'll never be honest. Maybe you'll keep your secrets forever!”
Jayden quietly responded, “I'll explain everything later.”

“Later! Later!” Elyse gritted her teeth with each repetition, her anger not subsiding. “Why are you still sitting
here? | need to rest. Staying any longer with you might just killfrom frustration,” she declared vehemently.
Elyse’s fury erupted loudly.
Jayden promptly signaled the driver outside to start driving.
The driver, aware that Jayden often had playful plans in the car, had been waiting nearby. He hadn't anticipated
a quick summons. Had something gone wrong? The driver looked back in confusion, but Elyse immediately
reprimanded him.
“Why are you staring? Keep your eyes on the road! If we're not back in ten minutes, both you and Jayden are out
of this car!”
Realizing the severity of the situation, the driver quickly focused on the road, pondering Jayden’s significant
troubles with Elyse this time.
The driver, sensing the tension, hurried to their destination.

Once out of the car, Elyse wrapped her arms around herself and marched into the house, with Jayden trailing
close behind.
They arrived at her bedroom door, where Elyse spun around to face Jayden, who had managed to keep up with
her. She raised an eyebrow and challenged him, “We're both single now. Do you really think it's a good idea to
cin?”
Persistent as ever, Jayden responded with a sly grin, “There's plenty of room. Your bed could fit five people.”
Elyse scoffed dismissively, “I'm not sharing a bed with you. You'll have to sleep alone.”

Undeterred, Jayden proposed a compromise. “What if | sleep on the floor? | just need to stay nearby to keep you
safe.”
Elyse rolled her eyes. Letting Jayden into her room seemed like the riskiest option. Did he really think she was
oblivious to his intentions?
Without another word, she slipped into her room and swiftly locked the door behind her.
Outside, Jayden lingered by the shut door, feeling somewhat aggrieved. He had thought Elyse might appreciate
his offer to look after her.
Later, after freshening up, Elyse’s stomach rumbled, reminding her she’d barely eaten at the banquet. She
unlocked her door and headed for the kitchen. No sooner had she opened the door than she stepped on
something unexpectedly soft. A muffled yelp of pain erupted from below.
Shocked, she looked down to see Jayden lying on the floor at her doorstep.
