Chapter 1505:
Jayden sneaked a quick glance at Elyse, his eyes lingering just long enough to take in her expression. To him, she
was practically flawless — if only she weren't so shy. She couldn’t handle even the smallest tease; a few playful
words, and her cheeks would flush crimson as she turned away to ignore him.
Besides, it was obvious she secretly enjoyed it, so he figured he wasn’t entirely off the mark.
Jayden sighed to himself, a quiet determination settling in. Tonight, he resolved to step up his game—he’d make
her feel so good, so undeniably cherished, that she wouldn't be able to ignore it.
When they arrived home, Elyse strode inside with her arms crossed tightly, her expression as cold as a winter
frost.

Driscoll noticed Elyse’s icy demeanor and cast a helpless glance at Jayden, who looked undeniably guilty. With a
sigh, he asked, “Sir, did you upset Elyse again? Honestly, can’t you try to make her angry a little less often? If
you two start getting along better, you'll have another little one on the way in no time.”
Jayden chuckled dryly. “You seem keener on having a child than | am.”
Driscoll tilted his head knowingly. “Naturally. A child could smooth the waters—Iless bickering, more warmth
between you and Elyse.”
Jayden offered a curt nod, keeping his thoughts to himself.
Lately, he'd been giving it his all to start a family with Elyse, yet no signs of pregnancy had emerged.
Was he falling short somehow? The thought gnawed at him, leaving him restless. Determined, he trailed after
Elyse, ready to double down on his efforts.

Elyse was in the bedroom, just about to change into something more comfortable, when Jayden walked in
without warning.
As he stepped in, she whipped around, her voice sharp. “Out! Go sleep in the study.”
He planted his feet firmly. “Not a chance. I'm staying right here with you.”
She rolled her eyes, grabbed her pajamas, and made for the bathroom. Before she could get far, he swept her
into his arms and carried her through the door.
Caught off guard, she stared at him. “What's gotten into you this time?”

“It's been ages since we had fun in the bathroom,” Jayden said, his voice low and teasing. “Let's bring back
those golden moments.” He kissed her, his gaze brimming with longing.
His words stirred a memory for Elyse. She vividly recalled the this fervor had left her breathless—literally.
He'd carried her limp form back to the bedroom afterward.
Lowell slouched in his office chair, the pile of contracts on his desk steadily collecting dust. His fingers danced
across his phone, frantically tapping out messages to Tracy, but there was no reply. Half an hour had passed
since his last text, and she still hadn't responded.
They'd been talking every day for what felt like forever, and now, for the first time, she had gone completely
silent.
He stared at the blank screen, the knot of anxiety in his stomach growing tighter with every unanswered ping.
What was going on? Why the sudden silence? Did he say something to upset her? Or maybe she was caught up
in something she couldn’t tell him about? The thought gnawed at him, distracting him from the pile of work that
seemed to multiply on his desk.
