Chapter 407:

After a lengthy conversation, Tracy drifted off, exhausted. Elyse gently slipped out of bed, draped a blanket over Tracy, and left the room quietly. In the living room, Driscoll, sporting a bandage on his head, expressed his concern. “How is Miss Bernard?”

“She’s resting now. Thank you for your help today,” Elyse responded, nodding gratefully. “I’m hopeful she’ll feel better tomorrow.”

Jayden set aside the book he was reading. “Shaun has left but purchased a villa nearby. It looks like he plans to stay in the area for quite some time.”

Just as Elyse settled on the sofa and reached for a glass of water, Jayden’s words caught her off guard. “Has he lost his mind? What is he trying to achieve?”

Jayden shrugged. “I’m not sure. If you’re curious, ask him. Maybe he’s intent on winning Tracy back.”

Elyse fixed Jayden with a skeptical look. “Do you think he’s genuine?”

“Whether he is or not, Tracy is the one who will end up hurt,” Jayden said, summarizing the situation. Chewing her lip, Elyse realized that Shaun’s decision to buy a house nearby signified he wasn’t ready to let go of Tracy, who couldn’t remain hidden forever.

After a moment of contemplation, she decided she needed to confront Shaun. Sitting next to Jayden, she asked cautiously, “Would you come with me to see Shaun? I need to speak with him.”

Jayden frowned. “What are you planning to discuss?”
