Chapter 101:

Knowing Elyse was married, the girl nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll fill in Elyse once she’s back.” After hanging up, she replayed Jayden’s frosty voice and couldn’t help but shiver.

Jayden frowned. “How long has she been gone? Why hasn’t she returned?” It dawned on the girl that Elyse had been missing for quite some time.
