Chapter 170 Teasing Elyse

Jayden regarded Clive with a puzzled expression. "What makes you think I have feelings for Elyse?"

Clive countered, "If not, why are you so invested in her?"

Clive's mind echoed Peyton's words as he spoke, "If your feelings for Elyse are genuine, it's imperative to disclose the truth about your condition. Are you willing to keep this hidden from her indefinitely?"

The reminder weighed heavily on Jayden, causing him a headache.

Massaging his temple, Jayden queried, "Do you believe it's the right moment to disclose this to her?"

Clive couldn't discern Jayden's thoughts, but he believed Jayden and Elyse shared a profound love. Keeping such a significant secret seemed incongruous.

"When would you suggest is the ideal time?" Clive inquired with genuine interest,

Jayden deliberated briefly but found himself at a loss for a response. In his view, uncertainties loomed large, and dangers lurked in the shadows. Revealing his charade to Elyse felt like pulling her into danger. He couldn't bring himself to be that self-centered.

Ultimately, Jayden dismissed Clive, urging him to find his own transport. "Get a taxi."

Standing by the roadside, Clive locked eyes with Jayden. "Why can't I accompany you to see Elyse?"

Perplexed, Jayden retorted, "Why would you want to come with me?"

Clive was speechless. He just wanted to witness Jayden's attempt to please his wife. Was that too much to ask?

Jayden's pragmatic response dashed Clive's hopes. He watched as Jayden's car pulled away, leaving him amidst the exhaust fumes.

Upon arriving, Jayden gained entry as Elyse's family member.
