Elyse was reading on the sofa when Jayden chfor dinner. Upon his arrival, he looked quite worried. He
noticed her hurt knees and said, “You got hurt after going out. From now on, just stay hwhere it’s safe.”
Elyse glared at him unhappily and said, “I tripped because my legs were weak from our intimate activities.
Perhaps we should stop our intimate encounters.”

With a nonchalant air, Jayden removed his tie, his fingers deftly undoing his shirt buttons, revealing his exposed
collarbones. A subtle yet undeniable hint of danger danced in his eyes as he spoke, his tone assertive. “We are
married. Nothing is wrong withhaving sex with you. If not me, who else would you rather have sex with?
Answer me.”
With a commanding aura, Jayden drew closer, towering over her. Trapped beneath his overwhelming presence,
Elyse found herself retreating into the recesses of the sofa. Her voice quivered with apprehension as she
stammered, “Only you, Jayden. | just want to have sex with you.”

A hint of satisfaction played upon Jayden'’s lips as he heard Elyse’s timorous answer. With a more gentle touch,
he placed a finger on her cheek, faintly brushing her skin. A devious smile crept across Jayden’s face as he
voiced his inquiry, his voice dripping with smugness. “But why has another man found his way into your life?”
Elyse pulled back, creating sdistance between them. “I'm not interested in discussing Theo right now. If you
have questions, it's best to ask him directly.”
As she spoke, Elyse turned her head away. She wasn't interested in engaging with Jayden at that moment.
Jayden raised his eyebrows, surprised by Elyse’s defiance. She claimed he didn’t pamper her, yet she looked so
confident and defiant. No one else dared to stand up to him, but she did.
Jayden was about to punish her, but he hesitated and stopped. In the morning, he had exhausted her with their
passionate lovemaking. If it happened again, she would only grow more discontent. Jayden reined in the carnal
flames raging inside him, his fingers encircling her chin with a steely grip, forcing Elyse to turn her gaze toward
him.
“Would you like shelp with those photos?” he asked deliberately.
Elyse snapped, “If you can accept the rumors aboutand another man, then don't interfere.”
Jayden didn’t truly love Elyse. His desire was just a man’s possessive urge. After mentally uttering those words,
she bottled up her anger and refused to meet Jayden’s gaze, instead wrapping her arms tightly around a throw
pillow.
Jayden rubbed his temples, perplexed as to why he had managed to upset her once again. Despite his confusion,
he pulled out his phone and sent a message to Tobin, requesting that he scrub the inteof any related
information.
Jayden put away his phone and said, “I have something to take care of. I'll be in my study. Please stay here and
relax.”
“What are you busy with?” Elyse asked without thinking. Feeling awkward, she turned away after speaking to
Jayden.
“Don’t worry, it's nothing significant. I'll be done in a moment, and then Ill join you,” Jayden replied, smiling to
himself as he expertly maneuvered his wheelchair into the study.
He kept quiet, knowing it wasn’t the right tand wanting to shield her from his dangerous world. Elyse felt a
sense of despair rather than sadness when he didn’t answer her question. She took a deep breath, patted her

Since Jayden didn’t have romantic intentions, she couldn't hope for love from him. She hugged the pillow tightly,
finding ssolace. She felt a deep and chilling loneliness, one that seemed to seep into her very bones.
Kaelyn heard Theo was back in town, so she stopped by his favorite restaurant and packed sof his favorite
dishes to welchim home.
She had visited his hso often that the household staff knew her by sight, and the servant would let her in
without any fuss. Kaelyn handed the takeout to the servant, asking her to heat them up and serve them to Theo
later. In a concerned voice, she asked the servant, “Where's Theo? | haven't seen him. Is he okay?”
The servant responded with a deferential demeanor, “He is currently in the garden.”
“Then I'll go find him,” Kaelyn hurried to the garden, her excitement evident in her quick steps. Theo sat under
the pavilion, staring at his phone with a mix of concentration and sadness on his face. Kaelyn crept up behind
him, trying to surprise him, but accidentally caught a glimpse of his phone screen. It was a photo of Theo and
Elyse.
Kaelyn had rushed to see Theo after work, unaware of the buzz about him and Elyse, having had no tto
check her phone. Her face suddenly went pale as she thought of Theo and Elyse together. Theo was lost in the
photo, his finger tenderly tracing Elyse’s face on the screen, revealing his deep affection. Her heart felt like it
was shattering into a million pieces. She mustered up the courage to ask Theo, “Do you still love Elyse?” Her
voice trembled slightly.
