Chapter 96:

Elyse noticed Jayden seemed unwell and asked anxiously, “What’s wrong with you?”

“I was drugged. Stay away from me. I might not be able to control myself,” he warned. He was trying hard to restrain himself, but his gaze held an intense mix of obsession and fervor as he looked at Elyse. The intensity in his eyes startled Elyse.

“We’re heading to bed now,” Elyse didn’t quite trust him.

“Okay then. Good night,” Brook said.

Elyse leaned against the door, listening until Brook’s footsteps faded away. After ensuring no one was at the door, she sighed with relief and returned to the sofa, where she stayed throughout the night.
