Chapter 471:
Jayden’s gaze was filled with impatience. “Why are we talking about Pearce when you're doubting my love for
you? Haven't | proved my love enough? What more do | need to do to make you believe in my feelings?” he

Elyse rubbed her neck, the memory of his violence still fresh in her mind. After a tense silence, Jayden’s
impatience visibly grew. Elyse finally responded in a quiet voice, “He’s just a friend. There was a

Elyse’s tears becsoft sobs, which faded to quiet whimpers. Her tears streamed endlessly. She didn’t even
care about her own tears anymore.
Downstairs, Driscoll was about to call Elyse to dinner when Jayden stopped him. Jayden glanced at the book in
his hand. “Don’t call her to dinner tonight. Let her be hungry and think things over.”
Driscoll was taken aback. “Sir, are you serious? What has she done to deserve this?”
“What did she do? She angered me,” Jayden said with a sneer. “Don’t worry. Missing one meal won't kill her.”
