Chapter 739:

Aarya was shocked and protested, “Why should we leave? If anyone should go, it’s her. She’s the uncomfortable one, not us.”

Elyse took a deep breath, steadying her hands on the table, and said firmly, “I need a moment to cool down. I hope by the time I come back, you’ll have left.”

Jayden watched Elyse walk away and commented, “Elyse is just like that. Don’t take it to heart.”

Aarya, her eyes narrowing, said, “People with her kind of attitude need to be set straight, or they’ll think the world owes them.”

Jayden comforted her, saying, “Let it go. We should just look after ourselves.”

Convinced by Jayden, Aarya agreed, saying, “Let’s leave then. You won’t even enjoy your coffee now, thanks to Elyse, that wretched woman.”

Jayden smiled gently. “It’s fine. I can always give the coffee to someone else. I don’t have to drink it myself.”

With that, he approached the restaurant door. “The car is right outside. Go ahead, and I’ll meet you there.”

“What are you going to do?” Aarya inquired.

“Just heading to the restroom,” Jayden replied.

Understanding, Aarya said nothing further and left the restaurant.

Jayden watched Aarya get into the car, and only then did he close the door and head towards the restroom.

Inside, Elyse was already there. The restaurant didn’t have separate restrooms for men and women, just two doors for everyone. Elyse stood at the sink, her breath heavy. The stress from dealing with Aarya was overwhelming. She had sat through an hour of Aarya’s constant chatter. By the end, she felt dizzy, like she might pass out. Leaning against the wall for support, Elyse gasped for air, oblivious to Jayden approaching her from behind.

Suddenly, Jayden wrapped his arms around her waist from behind and covered her mouth with his hand to silence her. Elyse felt his strong arms constrict her like a python. Jayden’s fingers slipped into her mouth, playing with her tongue. Pinned against the sink by Jayden’s overpowering strength, Elyse couldn’t move. The force was so intense that it brought tears to her eyes.

“Let me go…” Elyse whimpered weakly.

Jayden held her close for a moment longer, then tilted her chin and kissed her forcefully.

At that moment, Elyse knew it was Jayden who was holding and kissing her. But knowing it was Jayden only made her feel more aggrieved.

With a burst of strength, she pushed him away. Through her sobs, she said, “You already have a girlfriend. Why do you still mess with me? Do you think I’m that cheap?”

Elyse wiped the tears from her face, fighting hard not to break down completely. She felt deeply wronged. She had made every effort not to interfere with Jayden and Aarya, yet she ended up getting hurt.
