Chapter 170:

Jayden regarded Clive with a puzzled expression. “What makes you think I have feelings for Elyse?”

The reminder weighed heavily on Jayden, causing him a headache. Massaging his temple, Jayden queried, “Do you believe it’s the right moment to disclose this to her?”

Clive couldn’t discern Jayden’s thoughts, but he believed Jayden and Elyse shared a profound love. Keeping such a significant secret seemed incongruous. “When would you suggest is the ideal time?” Clive inquired with genuine interest.
