Chapter 157:

Elyse kept her appointment with Theo, but she wasn’t alone. Jayden’s men accompanied and protected her throughout the journey, and she carried a specially made alarm device from Jayden. If she pressed a button, Jayden’s men would immediately intervene.

Arriving on time, Elyse rang the doorbell. Theo opened the door, dressed in a housecoat that made him seem more approachable than usual. He noticed the violin case in her hand and raised an eyebrow, asking, “Just finished your practice?”

Elyse nodded and asked, “What do you need from me at your place?”

“Come in,” Theo said, leaning against the door frame lazily.

“Doesn’t Jayden mind you coming here?” Theo asked, half-jokingly.

After slipping into slippers, Elyse gave him a cold glance and said, “You know he would mind, yet you insisted I come alone. Did you do that deliberately? Just drop the act.”

It was then that he realized she was no longer the person she used to be.
