Chapter 33 She Was Upset

Jayden inquired, "You can cook?"

"I have a few specialties. I want to cook for you as a way to thank you for your help," Elyse replied with a smile.

"I'm in for a treat tonight then."

Pleased that Jayden was open to having dinner with her, Elyse said cheerfully, "Then I'll go start preparing now."

Watching her energetic departure, Jayden couldn't help but smile.

Just then, the butler Driscoll appeared at the door and caught the genuine smile on Jayden's face. "Sir, isn't your wife lovely?"

Jayden accepted a cup of tea from him, feigning indifference. "What do you mean by that?"

"You're overthinking it. I didn't mean anything by it. I just think she's a good match for you." "You are fond of her?" Jayden asked.

"No, I can see that you are fond of her. To me, your happiness is what matters most." Jayden responded, "I never said I'm happy to have her as my wife."

Driscoll simply smiled kindly and remained silent.
