Chapter 372:

Elyse stormed back into the living room to confront Jayden, only to discover his wheelchair deliberately positioned just out of her reach. Doubtful of his motives, Elyse quickened her steps, yet Jayden moved away just as quickly, keeping a firm distance between them. Her teeth gritted in frustration, Elyse chased after Jayden who effortlessly avoided her, never letting her close enough to touch him.

“Jayden, stop this or I’ll get really mad,” Elyse exclaimed, placing her hands on her hips and glaring at him. Her warning seemed to go unheard as Jayden gave her only a brief dismissive look and continued to avoid engagement. Elyse was taken aback by his unwavering stubbornness.

Jayden paid her no mind and continued wheeling himself back to his room. Driscoll, witnessing this, felt compelled to comment. “Keep in mind, calming him down when he’s upset is quite the challenge. It requires a lot of time, effort, and patience.”

Elyse’s face darkened. She paused, took a deep breath, and quickly made her way upstairs. Driscoll watched them go, shaking his head. “One moment they’re all sweet, and the next, they’re at each other’s throats.”

When Elyse entered the room, she found Jayden already in his pajamas, absorbed in reading on the edge of the bed. “How did you manage to change and get into bed from your wheelchair so quickly, considering your condition?” Elyse asked, her voice tinged with skepticism.

Jayden didn’t respond, his attention unwavering from his book, ignoring her question as he turned another page. Elyse was shocked by his cold disregard. This level of icy silence was new to them, and the sensation of being completely ignored was awful.

She stepped in front of Jayden and gently nudged his arm, her voice filled with uncertainty. “Are you really ignoring me now?”
