Chapter 475:

Elyse had breakfast and then headed to the music studio, where she found Pearce waiting at the entrance. Seeing Pearce, Elyse’s first instinct was to turn around, not wanting to upset Jayden again. But then she remembered Pearce was her cousin. Why should she avoid him?

Pearce noticed Elyse standing in a daze and called out to her, waving her over. After a moment’s hesitation, Elyse walked over and asked, “Pearce, are you waiting for me?”

“What else would I be doing here?” Pearce responded, displaying the food he had brought and smiling brightly. “I had the chef prepare a nutritious meal for you. This will be good for you to have after your practice.”

Elyse was surprised by his thoughtfulness and gratefully accepted it. “Thank you.”
