Chapter 89:

As Jayden lifted his cup for a sip, he casually remarked, “My uncle and aunt have a daughter who’s currently abroad.”

Upon hearing the introduction, Elyse hesitated briefly before rising to greet the two. However, Seth and Julie remained unresponsive. Julie, in particular, eyed her with evident disdain as she sipped her tea.

Sensing their hostility, Elyse decided against engaging them further and resumed her seat after the brief greeting.

Seth, checking the time on his phone, inquired pointedly, “Why haven’t your parents arrived yet? Are they purposefully late?”

Jayden met Seth’s disapproving gaze with a calm demeanor. “Their punctuality is their concern, not mine.”

Turning his attention to Elyse, Seth ordered, “Surely you have their contact details. Give them a call and inquire about their whereabouts.”

Elyse declined firmly, “Sorry, I don’t have their phone numbers. Please be patient.”

Surprised, Seth questioned, “Haven’t you met Jayden’s parents?”

Elyse confirmed, “No, I haven’t.”
