Chapter 92:

Elyse fixed her gaze on Enzo, eager for an explanation. Tess echoed her sentiments, declaring loudly, “Exactly! My son is married. He cannot marry Joanna again. Why not contemplate having your other grandson marry her? He’s also at an appropriate age for marriage.” Her pointed stare landed on Brook. Sensing her hostility, Brook raised an eyebrow, stood up, and retorted, “Jayden and Elyse have a strong relationship. If you’re suggesting alternative matches, why not consider me marrying Joanna?”

As all eyes turned to the silent Jayden, Enzo spoke up. “It’s well-known that Joanna and Jayden are engaged. It wouldn’t be appropriate to alter that arrangement. It could lead to rumors.

Elyse was dumbfounded by Enzo’s suggestion. He was advocating for Jayden to be with two women.

Jayden held his phone, contemplating it for a moment before responding, “The Fosters are desperate. They won’t let go of their only chance. Maybe they struck a deal with my grandpa.”

“The Fosters are on the decline. What could they possibly offer?” Elyse questioned.
