Jayden inquired, “You can cook? I have a few specialties I want to cook for you as a way to thank you for your help,” Elyse replied with a smile. “I’m in for a treat tonight then.”

Pleased that Jayden was open to having dinner with her, Elyse said cheerfully, “Then I’ll go start preparing now.” Watching her energetic departure, Jayden couldn’t help but smile.

Jayden replied, “I never said I’m happy to have her as my wife.”
