Chapter 35:

The buzzing phone on the table diverted Jayden’s attention from his meal. Engrossed in the message, he failed to notice Elyse pouring herself another glass of wine and quietly savoring it. When he finally looked up after finishing his message, he was greeted by her flushed face and shining eyes. His gaze fell upon the wine bottle positioned just inches away from its original place.

Calmly, Jayden questioned, “Tell me honestly, how many glasses did you have?” Despite gesturing five with her fingers, Elyse confidently replied, “Just three glasses.”

“Do you realize how potent this wine is? Even I wouldn’t have three glasses in one sitting,” Jayden remarked.

Elyse shook her head, leaning closer to him and speaking softly, “I was just feeling so happy. That’s why I had a few extra glasses.”

Amused by her drunken state, Jayden decided to tease her. “How happy exactly?”

“Well, there’s your assistance, the removal of online rumors, and your hopeful recovery after massages,” Elyse said with a giggle.

“So, you’re only happy about those things?” Jayden noted with a smirk. Observing Elyse in her softened state, he found her remarkably alluring. With a playful gesture, he reached out and gently pinched her cheek.

“I’m not the man I once was. Now I’m just a cripple. Don’t bother with any massage offers. I’ve grown accustomed to the pitying looks,” he confessed, his tone tinged with resignation.
