Chapter 203 Don't Make The Same Mistakes Again

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.

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?"
