Chapter 248 Quarrel Again

As Elyse walked, she gradually posed herself. She asked Jayden calmly, "Where have you been? Why are you back so late?" II

Jayden reassured her by gently patting her hand, saying, "! faced a bit of trouble, but it's all sorted now. I'm here to stand by you, so you don't need to worry about anything now."

Elyse didn't say anything.

responded, "I've already mentioned that it's not important. Why do you keep bringing it up?"

Elyse stopped in her tracks. "I'm your wife, aren't I? Shouldn't I be aware of what's going on with you?"
