Chapter 839:

A chilling light flashed in Elyse’s eyes. “Kill me? That’s not a bad idea. Go ahead and try. After everything you’ve done to ruin my life, I’ll make sure you’re the one who ends up dead. It’s only fair, right?”

Aarya wanted to rush at Elyse in anger, but Elyse didn’t hesitate to slap her several more times, knocking the last bits of defiance from her and leaving her completely stunned. Aarya’s lips trembled as she seethed with rage.

Elyse’s cold gaze never left Aarya, unthreatened by her.

At that moment, Jayden returned, having rushed back after hearing the commotion. Seeing Aarya’s disheveled state, he turned to Elyse and asked with furrowed brows, “Did you do this?”

“Yes. And what of it?” She sat nonchalantly in her chair, eating her pizza and looking completely at ease.

“Jayden, do you see what she’s done to me? Do something! You should cut off her hands and feet. This bitch dared to hit me. She’s crazy!” Aarya was beside herself with rage, her mind filled with thoughts of tearing Elyse apart.

Jayden quickly thought it over, then, with a cold expression, coaxed Aarya out of the restaurant. Elyse had no idea what he was up to, and Aarya understood even less.

As the two were leaving, Aarya looked at Jayden in confusion and disbelief. “Are we really just going like this? I don’t want to leave. I want you to make her pay!”

After they had left, the atmosphere in the restaurant seemed much lighter, and Elyse savored her meal even more.

Just then, a waiter came over with the pizza Jayden had ordered and said, “Miss, your pizza is ready.” Elyse glanced at it and replied indifferently, “This isn’t mine. The person who ordered it just left.”

The waiter said, “It’s yours. The man who placed the order said it was your favorite and asked me to bring it to you.”

Elyse was surprised by what the waiter said. She pointed to herself, her expression confused. “Are you sure this was for me?”

The waiter confidently nodded and replied, “The man who placed the order just now claimed the woman with the violin is his wife. He mentioned you would enjoy this flavor.”

After sharing this, the waiter gave Elyse a playful smile and walked away.

Still puzzled, Elyse looked down at the pizza on the table, lifted the lid of the box, and discovered a potato, cheese, and ham pizza—exactly her favorites.

However, she felt no hunger. Jayden was trying to win her back with trivial gestures while still with another woman. He must be dreaming.

As Elyse nibbled on her leftover pizza, Darren entered, clad in a thick coat. Spotting her, he approached with excitement. “What a coincidence!”

Elyse nodded and inquired, “Came to eat?”

Darren replied eagerly, “I’m starving. On a day as snowy as this, I crave calories. Pizza is perfect.”

Taking a seat opposite her, Darren watched as she slid the pizza Jayden had ordered toward him and offered, “You might as well have this one.”
