Chapter 237:

Hearing that, the man flashed a smile and firmly thrust the bouquet into Elyse’s hand. He turned to Jayden, remarking, “Just a fan of hers, mate. No need to get all touchy being her husband and all.”

Peyton sauntered over, catching wind of the exchange. A snicker slipped past his lips involuntarily.

Elyse, feeling a flush of embarrassment, found herself at a loss with the bouquet of flowers in her grasp. The man doffed his hat, offered a courteous bow to Elyse, and made his exit with grace.

Jayden’s gaze bore into the retreating figure, a storm brewing behind his eyes. Elyse gently squeezed Jayden’s fingers and whispered, “Don’t let it get to you.”

Jayden’s cold inquiry cut through the tension, fixating on the bouquet she held. “What’s your plan with that?”

In a hushed tone, Elyse replied, “Your call.” Jayden’s anger seemed to ebb at her words. The man was just a fan; no reason for such intensity.

Clive stood rooted, his gaze trailing the departing man, uncertainty clouding his features. Could that man be a member of the Benson family? Clive racked his brain, then shook his head, dismissing the notion as he approached Jayden.

Little did Clive know, the man hadn’t strayed far, lingering beneath a towering tree, his eyes fixed on Elyse. He whipped out his phone, dialing a number. “Look into Elyse Lloyd from Celestial Sounds Symphony. She might be the one we’re after.”

Not far off, a shiver ran down Elyse’s spine. She glanced up and caught sight of the man who claimed to be her fan lurking in a corner, his gaze locked on her. “That man’s still around. He’s watching me,” Elyse fretted, drawing near Jayden.
