Chapter 180 Just A Nightmare

Bryce protested loudly, "It was just an accident last night. Actually, I'm quite brave. It won't happen again, even if I'm scared!"

Jayden, with a smile, responded, "Since you're so brave, you can sleep alone tonight. I hope not to hear from the servants that you've wet the bed tomorrow."

Bryce clenched his teeth. He was determined not to be looked down upon, especially by Jayden. With a burst of excitement, he declared, "I can sleep alone. I don't need anyone with me." Pleased with Bryce's response, Jayden told Driscoll, "That's settled then. You can go ahead and set the table."

Driscoll nodded and headed to the kitchen.

Elyse remained silent throughout but understood that Jayden was provoking Bryce.
