After returning to the room, Elyse swiftly succumbed to sleep. Upon waking in the morning and finding Jayden peacefully slumbering beside her, her good mood enveloped her. However, curiosity gnawed < at her, and she yearned to know the time of his return to bed the previous night.

After a brief internal debate, she abandoned the notion of rousing him.

Having changed attire, she departed the room and encountered Driscoll preparing breakfast on the ground floor.

"Good morning." Driscoll greeted warmly.

"Good morning." Yawning behind her hand, Elyse inquired, "Are Jayden's friends, like Peyton, expected to arrive around midnight?"

Driscoll affirmed, "Indeed. His companions maintain late hours. They typically arrive at midnight, granted entry by security."

It appeared to be more than a coincidence; they genuinely relished nocturnal gatherings. Rubbing her temple, she remarked, "I noticed them indulging in libations in the basement yesterday. You hadn't mentioned this before."

Driscoll smiled and remarked, "Because they rarely visit. When they do, the household servants

are typically asleep. I've never even crossed paths with them last at night before."

Elyse returned the smile and began her breakfast.
