Chapter 766:

Jayden’s gaze drifted to her waist. “You haven’t been eating well these past few days. You’re looking even thinner,” he commented casually.

Elyse’s expression darkened. “Whether I’m thinner or not is none of your business,” she said, her voice edged with irritation. “If you don’t leave now, don’t blame me for being rude.”

“Don’t be so uptight. Aarya is in prison now. Isn’t this the perfect time for us to have an affair?” Jayden’s eyes glinted with mischief. He spread his arms wide, pulling her into a tight, intrusive embrace.

Elyse wriggled, her frustration bubbling to the surface. “Jayden, how much longer will you keep humiliating me? I truly dislike this. Please, stop appearing in front of me.”

Jayden’s fingers brushed lightly over her head in a condescending gesture. “Alright, alright, don’t be upset. I promise Aarya isn’t as important as you are. Are you satisfied now?”

Elyse’s patience snapped. “Are you crazy? Leave me alone!” Unable to contain her anger, she bit down hard on Jayden’s arm.

Jayden’s eyes sparkled with delight as he took in her fierce expression, his enjoyment growing. He pinched her cheek playfully, pressing his body against hers with no regard for personal space.

Elyse found herself trapped, her back pressed firmly against the wall as Jayden loomed over her. She struggled to lift her head, enduring his fervent kisses.

His persistent lips left smudges of lipstick at the corners of her mouth. With a smirk, Jayden pulled back slightly, his eyes gleaming. “I’ve messed up your lipstick. Let me help you fix it.”

Elyse wanted to refuse, but Jayden’s insistence overpowered her. He took the lipstick and, with determined precision, reapplied it to her lips.

Once finished, she gazed at him with cold detachment. “What exactly do you want? What’s your purpose in all of this?”

Jayden picked up a tissue and wiped away the lipstick smeared on his mouth. Smiling, he said, “Did you think I came here for something specific?”

He paused, savoring her frustration. “I just missed you, so I came over.”

Elyse sighed deeply, sinking into a nearby chair. “Do you really think having an affair feels good? I find it dreadful. I don’t want to play this game with you. Can you please just leave me alone?”

Jayden turned, his gaze drifting down to Elyse. Her face, a canvas of sorrow and defiance, silently demanded an explanation that never came.

He crumpled the tissue, launching it toward the bin with casual precision. He sidled closer, his fingers brushing her cheek. “Play your heart out,” he murmured. “I’ll be watching, so don’t let me down.”

Still aching for an explanation, Elyse shoved his hand away, frustration bubbling over. “Just leave!” she snapped. “I don’t want you here!”

Jayden’s lips curled into a smirk. “Feisty, aren’t you?” He tugged her ear playfully, earning a sharp glare. Like a shadow, he slipped out of the room before she could react.
