PopularNovelChapter 480:
Elyse cried for a long while. When she felt sleepy, the door of the room opened again. Shaun entered, turned on
the light, and said flatly, “Stop crying. Go downstairs for dinner.”
Both Elyse and Tracy covered their eyes. They had been in darkness for too long and found the dazzling light
uncomfortable.
Tracy was the first to open her eyes. She stood up angrily, rushed to the door where Shaun was, and punched
him in the chest. “Why did you turn on the light suddenly?”
Shaun winced in pain, grabbed her fist with a stern look, and held her tightly.
“Letgo!” she demanded, hitting him repeatedly.

Elyse covered her face and said in a hoarse tone, “I have no appetite. You guys can have dinner without me.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTracy was about to persuade her when Shaun interrupted, “No way. You must eat something. I've asked the chef
to prepare nutritious dishes specially for pregnant women.”
“He's right, Elyse. You really should eat,” Tracy added. Then, she paused, realization dawning on her. She turned
to Shaun in astonishment. “Specially for pregnant women? Who is pregnant?” she asked in a panic.
Shaun pointed at Elyse, who remained silent, and replied, “Who else could it be? Of course, it's your friend.”
“Oh my! You're pregnant? Why didn’t you tell me?” Tracy shook off Shaun’s hand and ran to Elyse, asking
worriedly, “How long have you been pregnant? Does Jayden know?”
Shaun responded, “If Jayden knew she was pregnant, he wouldn't let her stay at my place. He would definitely
take her away, even if he had to demolish my house.”
Elyse, realizing Tracy was worried, slowly held Tracy’s hand. Her face was pale, but she managed a weak smile.
“Don’t worry. My baby is only two months old and still small. I'm not ready to tell Jayden yet,” she said softly.
Tracy, sensing Elyse’s mood, asked, “Why don’t you tell him? Are you considering an abortion?”
Elyse caressed her belly with a gentle expression. “At first, | considered abortion,” she confessed. “But now, I've
decided against it. Even if Jayden doesn’t want the baby, I'll keep it.”
Tracy's surprise was evident. “He doesn’t want the baby?”
Elyse nodded. “He's toldhe doesn't like children.”
Tracy turned to Shaun, her expression one of utter disbelief. Shaun, catching her look of confusion, sighed
deeply. “You still need to tell Jayden about the pregnancy,” he advised. “If he still rejects the idea of having a
child, you might think about divorce. But he deserves to know the truth.”
Elyse bit her lip, uncertain of how to respond.
After a moment's thought, Shaun added, “He’s the father, after all. He should know, right?”
Tracy supported Shaun's viewpoint. She reassured Elyse, “Despite your issues with Jayden and your
disappointment, you can’t keep this a secret. It'll becobvious as your pregnancy progresses.”
Elyse looked up, her eyes flickering with realization. “You're right.”
Relieved by Elyse’s acceptance, Tracy encouraged her, “Let's go have dinner, for the baby’s sake. Besides, you

After a brief silence, Elyse rose and followed Tracy downstairs. Shaun watched Elyse’s retreating figure, debating
whether to call Jayden to inform him. He worried about the potential emotional toll on Elyse if she miscarried
while under his roof. After pondering the situation, he decided to keep the pregnancy a secret, considering his
and Tracy's recently improved relationship.
“Let it be,” he muttered to himself. “She’s Tracy's best friend. | should look after her.”
After leaving Shaun's house, Jayden dialed Clive to meet for drinks. He arrived at a nightclub’s designated room
and waited. Thirty minutes later, Clive appeared, accompanied by Peyton, who was in a wheelchair.
Upon seeing Peyton, Jayden'’s brow furrowed in displeasure. “What are you doing here?”
“I'm here to keep you company!” Peyton retorted, pulling out a coke from his pocket. “You drink your alcohol,
and I'll have my coke.”
Clive settled onto the sofa, explaining, “I was visiting Peyton in the hospital when you called. He overheard our
plans and insisted on joining us.”
