Chapter 138:

Emerging from the second-floor room, Elyse underwent a transformation, slipping into a flowing gown, her makeup meticulously applied, and her hair cascading elegantly around her shoulders. Descending the stairs in her sleek black high heels, she effortlessly captured Jayden’s attention. His gaze lingered on her graceful form, a hint of jealousy creeping into his voice as he spoke, “What’s with the fancy dress?”

Without sparing him a glance, Elyse responded icily, “I have matters to attend to.” With that, she brushed past everyone, her demeanor distant and determined as she exited the house. Driscoll couldn’t help but sigh inwardly at Elyse’s evident anger this time.

Despite Jayden’s simmering anger, Judy failed to register his displeasure. Instead, she cheerfully suggested, “I’m famished. Let’s have dinner first.”

Meeting her gaze with a glare, Jayden inquired, “Hungry?”
