Chapter 837:

Jayden’s groan drew Aarya’s attention. Having spent the night with him, Aarya’s defenses were down, and she softly inquired, “What’s wrong?”

Jayden persisted, audaciously extending his foot to press against Elyse’s thigh. The restaurant table was long but narrow, allowing his long leg to reach a sensitive area between Elyse’s legs.

He said calmly, “It’s nothing. Are you hungry? This pizza looks good. Let’s get pizza. What do you say?”

Aarya, misunderstanding, assumed Jayden craved pizza. After spending the night with him, her dependence on him had grown, causing her to cling to him. While they discussed pizza, Jayden continued his advances under the table.

Elyse was just beginning to feel victorious when Jayden’s action froze her. She worried Aarya might notice him harassing her. As time passed, Elyse grew increasingly frightened. Seizing a moment when Aarya was distracted, she shoved Jayden’s foot away, quickly stood, and headed for the restroom.

Watching Elyse leave abruptly, Aarya berated her. “Look at your ex-wife. She’s so rude. Cut off all ties with her. Keeping her around only drags you down.”

Jayden agreed and stood, saying, “I need the restroom too. Your dad will call soon; can you handle it?” Without pausing, Aarya responded, “Of course. If he calls, I’ll playfully complain to ensure he gives you a break.” She added timidly, “You must be worn out from last night, right?”

Jayden raised an eyebrow but remained silent, heading for the restroom.

Elyse stood in the restroom, cleaning a footprint from her pantyhose. As she scrubbed, she grumbled, “Jayden is such a maniac, doing that in broad daylight. I’m about to lose my mind.”

Seemingly by chance, Jayden appeared, leaning against the door, observing her frustrated expression. “Is this what you say about me when I’m not here?” Elyse was taken aback. Seeing Jayden, she retorted irritably, “Am I not allowed to complain? You provoked this.”

Jayden laughed and remarked, “I enjoy teasing you, making you angry but unable to protest publicly.” Approaching Elyse, he smiled slightly and added, “You’re cute. It makes me want to tease you more.”

Elyse met his gaze coldly. “Why don’t you tease your girlfriend? Aarya seems quite receptive. After last night’s sex, she’s become very attached.”

Jayden scratched his ear. “Oh? Jealous of Aarya? You really think we had sex?”

Disgusted, Elyse shoved him away. “I despise scumbags. Keep your distance.”

She attempted to leave, but Jayden caught her, forcing her against the wall, his eyes brimming with lust. He murmured, “You’re jealous. That’s good news.”

Elyse angrily retorted, “Get away from me, or I’ll scream.”

Jayden seized her chin and kissed her forcefully, his hand moving to her chest and squeezing her breasts. After a fierce struggle, Elyse succumbed, becoming limp in his grasp.
