Chapter 95:

After dinner, Enzo retreated to his room for some shuteye. Jayden and Elyse were about to call it a night too, but their elders had other plans, insisting they join in for a drink.

Elyse, being unable to handle alcohol, started feeling woozy after a couple of sips of wine. Desiring nothing more than to hit the hay, Elyse found herself being escorted back to her room by Brook, who volunteered for the job.

In a haze, Elyse stumbled along, barely aware of her surroundings. As she collapsed onto the bed, she murmured Jayden’s name almost involuntarily.

Standing by the door, Brook wore a smirk that spoke volumes. “Looks like you’ve got a thing for him,” he remarked ambiguously before shutting the door behind him and disappearing into the night.

Sometime later, Elyse was startled awake by a scream. She bolted upright, her heart pounding in her chest.

Hurrying outside, she found a group of people heading in the opposite direction. “What’s going on?” she asked anxiously.

Jessie turned to her, wearing a troubled expression. “Where were you just now? We didn’t see you.”
