Chapter 620:

Weary from her violin practice, Elyse sank into a chair in the villa’s garden, cradling a steaming cup of tea. The phone on the table buzzed.

She picked it up to find a message from Irving: “Gavin’s future girlfriend!” Attached was a photo of Gavin and Freda standing together, the angle suggesting it had been snapped secretly.

Elyse’s curiosity was piqued. “What’s going on between them? Are they seeing each other?”

Irving replied almost instantly, “No idea. But relationships are unpredictable. Let’s see how things will unfold between them.”

Elyse smiled and replied, “Okay.”

After sending the message, Elyse leaned back, lost in thought. Just then, Tracy approached, looking downcast and distracted.

Seeing Tracy’s troubled expression, Elyse asked gently, “Tracy, what’s wrong? Is it about Shaun again?”

Tracy shook her head, her voice quivering. “No, it’s not that.”

She covered her face and began to sob, her anguish palpable. Elyse, feeling helpless, knelt beside Tracy and asked urgently, “Are you in some sort of trouble? Please, tell me. I’ll do whatever I can to help.”

But Tracy just shook her head, refusing to speak.

Just then, Driscoll appeared. “Mrs. Owen, Shaun is here again. He says he misses Tracy and wants to see her.”

“Let him in. I’ll talk to him myself.” Elyse stood up and headed toward the living room.

Shortly after, Shaun entered. As soon as he saw Elyse, he asked, “Where’s Tracy? Is she around?”
