Chapter 193:

Nestled in Jayden’s arms, Elyse was too embarrassed to look up. She chastised herself for nearly letting things go too far with Jayden in the living room. She had to admit she was becoming more like him, shamelessly so.

Jayden, with a disapproving look, stared at Driscoll. He was frustrated by the interruption; he was so close to having a moment with Elyse. Driscoll, although stoic, was sweating nervously. He hadn’t wanted to interrupt them. He had even sent the servants out to ensure privacy. But then unexpectedly, Kieran and Judy showed up. Driscoll tried persuading them to visit another day, but they stubbornly refused, insisting on seeing Jayden and threatening to camp out at the entrance if necessary. Unable to let that happen, Driscoll felt compelled to disturb Jayden.

As Jayden stroked Elyse’s hair to comfort her, he said briskly, “Let them in.” Once Driscoll left to fetch Kieran and Judy, Elyse sat up, covering her cheeks. She glared at Jayden and said, “This can’t happen again. How embarrassing.”

Raising an eyebrow, Jayden teased her, “Embarrassing? This is our house. Why shouldn’t I be free with my wife?”

His comment made her blush even deeper. As Elyse got up to leave, Jayden pulled her back, holding her close. “Why are you running? Haven’t you heard? Judy is here too. Aren’t you worried or jealous?”
