Richie’s remark startled both Jayden and Elyse. They exchanged glances before simultaneously turning away, an unspoken agreement between them. Although they remained silent, there was a subtle shift in their mood for the better.

Seeing that they didn’t contradict him, Richie grew more enthusiastic. “So you are Mr. Owen’s wife! I must be blind not to have noticed. I’d like to formally invite you to dinner next time. Please don’t turn me down.”

Elyse’s lips twitched into a reluctant smile, and she nodded her agreement. Richie then urged, “You should probably head back now. Your maid looks quite displeased. She might be cursing you under her breath.”
