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?”
