Chapter 97:

When Elyse returned home, she retreated to her room to practice the violin during her free moments. Driscoll enjoyed the peaceful melodies emanating from her room. “Elyse’s violin skills are truly remarkable,” he remarked. Turning, he noticed Jayden leisurely enjoying his tea. Jayden didn’t reply but instead posed a question to Driscoll. “What’s been happening at my grandpa’s house since we left yesterday?”

Driscoll’s demeanor changed as he answered gravely. “Indeed, something did happen. Your parents confronted your grandfather, who insisted that either you or Bryce must wed Joanna.”

Jayden put his teacup down sharply, his voice cold. “So they’re pushing her onto me instead of Bryce. I’m just the bin where they dump unwanted things.”

Driscoll continued, “Joanna has been returned to the Fosters to be disciplined by them. They’re quite persistent, that’s for sure.”

Just then, the violin music stopped abruptly. Moments later, Elyse rushed down the stairs and tapped on the study door. Jayden, settling back into his wheelchair, invited calmly, “Come in.”

Elyse entered, her eyes sparkling with excitement. “I’ve passed the initial selection. There are two more rounds next week. If I clear the third, I could become the concertmaster.”

Jayden offered a warm smile and said sincerely, “Congratulations. It looks like we’ll be celebrating with a special dinner tonight.”
