Chapter 118:

Elyse had a negative impression of the Foster family. With evident displeasure, she said, “I don’t want to talk to you. Please leave.”

Kieran responded with an apologetic tone, “Ms. Lloyd, I understand your anger. I’ve heard about what Joanna has done. I’m here to offer an apology on behalf of the Foster family. I hope you can forgive and forget.”

Elyse scoffed, “Forgive and forget? Your family knew I’m Jayden’s wife, yet you pushed Joanna to get between our marriage. She even had me kidnapped and caused me great suffering. How can you expect forgiveness?”

Kieran pulled a box from his pocket and opened it to reveal a pink diamond bracelet, which he placed on the bedside table. Elyse eyed it warily and demanded, “What is this supposed to mean?”

“I know no gift can undo the pain you’ve endured,” Kieran began. “But we want to make amends however we can.”

“Make amends? You think a bracelet can compensate for everything your family has done?” Elyse was incredulous, seeing the gesture as an insult.

Kieran, laden with guilt, continued, “The Foster family is facing a critical situation. Perhaps it explains, but does not excuse, Joanna’s impulsive actions.” Then he made a bold request. “I know it seems unfair, but I must ask if you would consider stepping down as Jayden’s wife. The stability and status of my family depend on Joanna’s marriage with Jayden.”

Elyse thought she had misheard and burst out laughing in disbelief. “Are you serious?”

Kieran nodded earnestly. “As compensation, I’m willing to marry you.”
