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.

Meanwhile, Jayden felt an urge to pursue her and seek clarification but found himself halted by Judy’s intervention. His gaze bore an imperceptible hint of hostility as he challenged her, “How dare you try to stop me?”

Judy, emboldened by Jayden’s previous concern, remained oblivious to the underlying tension in his voice. She calmly explained, “Look at her getting all pretty for her date. It explains her reluctance to dine at home.”

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?”

“Yes, aren’t you?” Judy replied unfazed. Taking charge, Judy maneuvered behind Jayden’s wheelchair, guiding him towards the dining room as if assuming the role of the household hostess. She then attended to his needs with care, selecting food for him before gazing upon him with affection.
