Elyse looked at Jayden, puzzled by the intent behind his question.

She met his gaze with a calm expression.

Theo's familiar presence, once so captivating, now barely stirred her.

She responded evenly, "When we were together, there was always another woman by your side. It's the same now. I'm not surprised."

Theo was dissatisfied with her response; he had hoped for something different.

Elyse shook her head, her voice steady. "You're wrong. I truly love Jayden. I don't regret marrying him."

Her smile was tinged with sarcasm. "Theo, do you really think I married Jayden just to get your attention? That everything is a plot to make you jealous and come crawling back?"
