Chapter 333:

Seated in the living room, Elyse was startled by Jayden’s sudden laughter. Perplexed, she hesitated briefly before rising and making her way to the study door. A gentle knock followed her query, “Jayden, everything alright in there?”

Jayden’s silence lingered, but Elyse didn’t think much of it. Turning to leave, she was taken aback as Jayden swung open the door, fixing her with an intense gaze. Elyse took a step back, questioning, “What’s the matter? Why are you looking at me like that?”

Jayden sidestepped her inquiry, redirecting the conversation. “Would you like to see your sister?”

Confusion clouded Elyse’s thoughts. Jayden’s demeanor seemed unsettling, as though he teetered on the edge of control. Without a word, she approached him, enveloping him in a comforting embrace, his face nestled against her chest. Jayden offered no protest, allowing her embrace to anchor him. After a while, he questioned, “What are you doing?”

In a hushed tone, Elyse murmured, “You left me for two hours earlier. I missed you, needed to hold you close.”

A flicker of amusement danced in Jayden’s eyes. He didn’t resist the embrace, instead drawing her closer, finding solace in her warmth. It was peculiar. Moments ago, he had felt his world spinning out of control, his breath hitching. Now, in her arms, a sense of tranquility washed over him. He found himself oddly comforted by the embrace.

After a moment’s contemplation, Elyse broached the subject. “Mabel is locked in the basement. Will she resent me if I visit her?”
