Chapter 542:

Jayden furrowed his brow. “I was only out for a few hours. You’re being too serious, no need to lay into me so harshly.”

Peyton was seething. He had stayed up waiting for Jayden, who never seemed to appreciate his efforts. He had said those words to Jayden because he hoped that Jayden and Elyse would get along better.

But now, Jayden was accusing him of being too serious and overly harsh.

Frustrated, Peyton blurted out, “Why can’t you see my point? Sometimes I just want to crack open your head and see what’s inside.”

Jayden responded firmly, “I had my reasons for meeting Corrie Bates. Don’t worry, nothing’s going on. I don’t even like her.”

Peyton rolled his eyes. “Whether you like her or not isn’t the issue. It’s about you and Elyse.”

He wanted to explain further, but the stern look on Jayden’s face stopped him. It hit him then—he could never change Jayden’s mind.

Struck by this realization, Peyton found himself at a loss for words.

Jayden had adhered to this mindset for nearly 30 years. Peyton doubted a few words would alter his perspective.
