Chapter 463:

When Elyse awoke that morning, exhaustion weighed heavily upon her. She glanced around, noticing the neatness of the other side of the bed. Jayden hadn’t returned the previous night.

Her heart filled with a wave of bitterness as she gently touched her belly and murmured in sorrow, “Sweetie, your dad is really upset with me. Do you think I’ll actually be kicked out?”

Her baby, still too undeveloped to understand, offered no reply.

Elyse remained seated for a few moments to ease her tiredness before she slowly made her way downstairs.

Upon seeing her, Driscoll greeted her with concern, “Good morning. Are you feeling better today?”

Managing a smile, Elyse replied, “Yes, much better, thank you. Where’s Jayden?”

With a hint of embarrassment, Driscoll answered, “He left for work early this morning.”

Elyse hesitated, then asked, “So, he’s still upset with me and hasn’t forgiven me, right?”

Driscoll found himself at a loss for words. Jayden’s demeanor when he left didn’t appear angry, but he hadn’t spoken to Elyse since last night.
