Chapter 760:

Elyse was shocked. “How did you have the nerve to bring the police? Aren’t you scared of Aarya’s family?”

Jayden chuckled softly. “You don’t need to worry about me. I know how to look after myself.”

Elyse felt something was wrong. She pushed Jayden away and stared intently at him. “Are you keeping something from me?”

Jayden smirked. “Why would you think that?”

Disappointment flashed in Elyse’s eyes. “You always hide things from me. Why would this time be any different?”

She slipped away from him and got out of bed.

Jayden stood up and grabbed her arm. “Where are you going?”

“Why should I tell you?” Elyse glared at him coldly. “You’re no one to me. Why should I share anything with you?”

Jayden looked at her black shirt. “Fine, you don’t have to tell me. Just take off that shirt. It’s mine.”

Elyse froze, disbelieving. “Your shirt? Did you change my clothes?”

Jayden countered, “Who else do you think could have done it?”

Rage fueled Elyse’s punches. “Who do you think you are to do that? You’re such a jerk! You’re a pervert! You saw my naked body!”

Jayden endured the punches; they barely hurt him. He caught her fists and caressed them gently. “I’ll take responsibility for seeing your naked body. How should I make it up to you? How about I marry you?”

“Bah! Dream on. I’ll never marry you. Leave.” Elyse tried to force Jayden out, but he remained still.

Seeing her panting, he teased, “Is that all you’ve got? Maybe you should have some breakfast first before kicking me out.”

Elyse, boiling with rage, almost collapsed. Jayden quickly snatched her waist and kissed her.

Their kiss was fervent; he held her so tightly she almost swooned. Only when she seemed breathless did he release her.

Noticing her dizziness, he smiled genuinely. “Why do you look a bit silly?” he teased gently.

Exasperated, Elyse shut her eyes, refusing to meet his gaze.

Miffed by her silence, Jayden poked her waist playfully.

“What do you want?” Elyse asked impatiently, eyes shut.

“I came to check on your recovery. Seeing that you’re feisty enough to hit and scold me, I’m relieved,” Jayden replied, his eyes brimming with uncharacteristic warmth.

Elyse’s brows knitted in suspicion. His words seemed peculiar. She seized his collar, pulling him close. “What are you hiding from me? Even after our divorce, you keep secrets.”

“I won’t tell you. Angry now?” Jayden replied, gently releasing his grip. His fingers combed through her tousled locks, smoothing them.
