Jayden clenched his jaw and replied in a cold tone, “I came downstairs looking for you.” Elyse, too frightened to speak, lowered her head. Driscoll, misinterpreting the situation as playful banter, couldn’t help but feel a thrill of excitement. “By the way, the Brooks family sent over an invitation just now. Xander Brooks is getting married and has invited you two to the wedding.”

“Xander Brooks,” Jayden repeated.

“Yes, the wedding is tomorrow,” Driscoll replied respectfully.

Elyse, puzzled, interjected, “He sent it the day before the wedding. Shouldn’t invitations be sent out half a month or a month in advance?”

Elyse’s mouth fell open in shock, but Jayden found her expression somewhat endearing.

Driscoll then asked, “Will you attend the wedding tomorrow, sir?”

“I’ve received the invitation so I must go,” Jayden said indifferently.

Driscoll looked concerned as he spoke. “But I remember that the relationship between his family and you isn’t good. They didn’t attend your wedding. They just sent a gift. Why do you feel the need to go?”
