Chapter 36:

The next day, Elyse woke with bleary eyes, rubbing away sleep as she rose from bed. After a quick wash, she descended to the first floor for breakfast.

“Good morning! Please join us for breakfast,” Driscoll greeted upon seeing her.

After breakfast, she accepted a tray from Driscoll and made her way to the study. Inside, Jayden was engaged in a phone call. Hearing her approach, he promptly ended the call and settled into his wheelchair, feigning nonchalance.
