Chapter 458:

Jayden’s expression darkened as he sat, “Let’s drop this discussion. All you need to understand is that being near me isn’t safe at the moment. Be more careful.”

Elyse bit her lip. Jayden was doing this to her again! Sadness overwhelmed her, making it hard to even breathe. She took a deep breath to steady herself, then asked, “Is Peyton badly hurt?”

“His right calf is broken, and he is covered in bruises,” Jayden replied. “He has to stay in the hospital for now.”

“Okay, I understand.” Elyse nodded and walked out of the room, fearing that if she lingered any longer, her tears might begin to run down her cheeks.

She stepped into the stairwell, leaned against the wall, and wiped away the tears from her eyes. Jayden truly didn’t want to share anything with her, nor did he ever ask anything of her. He always opted to handle issues on his own. The only thing she felt she could offer Jayden was to fulfill his sexual needs.

Elyse constantly reminded herself that their marriage hadn’t been easy and that she shouldn’t overthink things. Since Jayden didn’t love her, she resolved that she could decide not to love him either. She repeated to herself that she didn’t love him, thinking perhaps it would shield her from the pain.

However, the more she said it, the deeper her sorrow and bitterness grew because she realized she truly did love him—so deeply that she couldn’t even lie to herself.
