Chapter 280:

Elyse understood the source of her unhappiness: her parents didn’t love her. They only agreed to apologize because of Jayden’s insistence. Without Jayden, they wouldn’t have cared. They could have even blamed her if she had been assaulted by that man. She lowered her gaze and rested her head on Jayden’s chest, listening to the steady rhythm of his heartbeat.
