Chapter 126:

Elyse felt hurt as she thought about the shy expression on Judy’s face. “It’s just a contract. Why did you keep it from me and say it was a secret between the two of you?” she asked, her tone conveying her pain.

Jayden, utterly confused, responded, “What secret? How could there be any secret between me and Judy?”

Elyse waited for Jayden to explain, but all she got was a puzzled look, making her feel like she was being impolite for pressing the issue.

At that moment, Theo’s face flashed in Elyse’s mind. Once upon a time, she and Theo were solid. He treated her well. But then Kaelyn entered the picture, and Theo’s heart took a turn.

A shiver ran down Elyse’s spine. Was history repeating itself? Would she have to endure the agony of abandonment once more?
