Chapter 714:

Elyse’s face paled. “Are you crazy? You don’t intend to take me home, do you? I have a competition coming up! You can’t do this.”

Jayden’s expression darkened, his grip tightening. “I do what I want. Don’t forget, you are my woman.”

Elyse retorted, “We’re divorced. You have no right to interfere with my life!”

Jayden grabbed her chin, pressing closer, cornering her in the car.

“Divorce? I decide when this marriage ends.”

Trembling, Elyse said, “Don’t go too far, Jayden. Turn around. I want to go back.”

Jayden remained silent.

“You know how important this competition is. If you take me to the airport and bring me home, I will never forgive you.” Elyse bit her lip, her eyes defiant.

Jayden stayed silent before sneering. “What’s so important about that competition? You should stay by my side.”

Elyse replied firmly, “I have my own life, and participating in this competition is the most important thing right now.”

She stared at Jayden, unwilling to relent, and added, “Turn this car around. If you do, we can talk.”

After a long silence, Jayden told the driver, “Don’t go to the airport.”

The driver asked, “Sir, where should we go?”

Jayden scratched his head. “Anywhere but the airport.”

Elyse glared at Jayden. “Where are you taking me?”

Jayden roared, “If you keep asking, I’ll throw you into the forest!”

It was the first time Jayden had yelled at her since their marriage. Stunned, Elyse pouted, looking sad.

Realizing his tone was too harsh, Jayden couldn’t bear her expression, which only made him more irritable. “Fine, I’ll send you back. Just don’t look at me like that. It makes me feel…”

Unable to say “heartbroken,” Jayden said, “It makes me feel disgusted.”

Elyse grew angrier. She punched him and shouted, “You are disgusting! Your whole family’s disgusting!”

Jayden conceded, “You’re right. My family is truly disgusting.”

Elyse rolled her eyes, crossed her arms, leaned back, and stared at her feet.

Jayden also quieted. They were inches apart.

Elyse was aware of their proximity, but she didn’t expect Jayden to lean on her shoulder, making it numb.

“Jayden, we are divorced. Don’t be so shameless,” Elyse snapped.

Jayden remained silent.

Elyse continued, “You’re heavy. Get up.”
