Chapter 411:

Realizing the underlying meaning of Jayden’s candid remarks, Elyse pinched him under the table as a silent signal to be more cautious.

Jayden quickly grasped her hand, urging her to stop. Amid this quiet exchange, Elyse noticed Tracy’s distracted demeanor.

“Tracy, are you still thinking about Shaun? Did he come to see you today?” Elyse asked, concerned.

Startled by the question, Tracy snapped back to reality. After a pause, she responded, “It’s hard not to think about him. Driscoll told me Shaun showed up again today, though he didn’t cause a scene this time. He just stood at the gate for half an hour before leaving.”

With a heavy sigh, Tracy continued, “I don’t understand his persistence. When will he finally give this up?”

Elyse, observing the distress on Tracy’s face, felt a wave of sympathy. After a moment’s thought, she suggested, “Staying home all the time isn’t helping. Why don’t you come with me tomorrow? I’m heading to the studio. It might do you good to get out for a bit.”

“I appreciate the offer, but you have a competition coming up. I don’t want to be a distraction. I’ll stay home,” Tracy shook her head, her tone firm.

Despite Elyse’s attempts to convince her otherwise, Tracy remained resolute. Reluctantly, Elyse gave up and turned her attention back to her meal.

After dinner, Elyse found herself too weary to practice the violin. She washed up, planning to take a shower before bed. At that moment, Jayden entered the room, a hint of desire in his gaze.
