Chapter 323:

When Elyse opened her eyes and saw the anxious look on Jayden’s face, she paused in surprise, and then her expression brightened. “Jayden,” she said softly.

After that, she bit her lip, trying to smile at Jayden, but tears welled in her eyes. Jayden had kept many secrets from her, yet she instinctively felt there was nothing he couldn’t handle.

Jayden once told her she was spoiled by himself and was defiant. She now believed he was right. In her eyes, Jayden was the best thing in her life. He had given her a home.
