Chapter 199:

The driver spoke honestly, “He left this morning and hasn’t returned yet.” Elyse refrained from further questions. She accessed Jayden’s chat on her phone and, after a brief pause, she sent a message, “Will you be home for dinner tonight?” No reply came from Jayden after some time. She placed her phone down and rested against the seat with a tired sigh.

Upon arriving home, Driscoll approached her with a respectful tone. “Mr. Owen won’t be home for dinner tonight. He advised you not to wait for him.” Elyse just nodded silently, walked into the dining room, and dined by herself.

She blurted out, “What’s been keeping Jayden so busy lately? He’s not even coming home for dinner anymore.” Driscoll found himself in a tough spot, unable to reveal Jayden’s current activities, especially since Elyse was unaware of his feigned disability.

Observing Driscoll’s discomfort, Elyse chose not to pursue further questions. After eating, she returned to her room. There, she picked up her phone again, but Jayden still hadn’t responded. She let out a sigh and gazed out the window in frustration.

Just then, her phone rang. It was Tracy. Trying to remain composed as she pressed the answer button, “I’ve joined a crew to film a show tomorrow. I’m quite nervous. Could you join me at the set?” Tracy asked with a hopeful tone.

Reflecting for a moment on the weekend ahead, Elyse replied, “Okay, I’ll be there to support you.” Tracy then asked cautiously, “Your husband won’t mind if I take you away, will he?”
