Chapter 649:

Elyse lingered in the dining room, taking her time with her meal. Afterward, she settled in the tearoom, gazing out at the day.

Driscoll came in with some snacks and set them next to Elyse, lingering, unsure whether to speak or not.

Elyse noticed Driscoll’s hesitation and, while nibbling on a snack, she asked, “Driscoll, are you considering giving Mr. Owen another chance? Have you thought about talking to him about recognizing his faults?”

Driscoll sighed and shook his head. “There’s no other option. His childhood was difficult. He’s never had anyone who really looked out for him.”

Elyse remained silent.

Driscoll continued, “I understand his issues well, but he’s stubborn and doesn’t listen to anyone or acknowledge his faults. But Mrs. Owen, he’s been like this since he was young, without anyone to guide him properly. It’s not completely his fault.”

Elyse knew Driscoll was advocating for Jayden, hoping she would reconsider. Yet, Driscoll also pointed out that Jayden often dismissed others’ advice, preferring to follow his own reasoning.
