“It’s nothing for you to worry about. Don’t dwell on it. Ill take care of this quickly and cback to you,” Jayden

replied casually. With that, he left swiftly.

As Jayden disappeared from view, Elyse was overwhelmed by a swirl of conflicting feelings. Memories of

countless moments, when Jayden had dismissed her with those sempty assurances, flooded her mind. He

had promised to be open with her, yet tafter time, he chose to keep his secrets hidden.

Elyse wrestled with finding any reasonable justification for his behavior other than a deep-seated mistrust. If

Jayden couldn't trust her, then who did he confide in? Aarya?

Elyse’s thoughts raced, desperately seeking answers that remained out of reach. All she knew was that this

persistent doubt had transformed into an almost insurmountable mental hurdle, a relentless torment that

haunted her mind.

At that moment, Edward noticed a flicker of discomfort in Elyse’s expression. He lowered himself to her level

and, as if coaxing a child, gently asked, “Are you upset that your ex-husband cares about someone else now?”

Elyse looked away, her voice tinged with mild irritation. “Why would | be upset? Isn't it the most natural thing to

happen?”

“It is, but | don’t want to see you unhappy. Perhaps, you can givea chance to bring sjoy back into your

life. What do you think?” Edward asked, his eyes shining with hopeful determination.

Elyse sighed and crossed her arms defensively. “Edward, don’t waste your energy on me. | know I'm not ready

for a relationship, and | don’t want to use you to mend my heart.”

Smiling genuinely, Edward replied, “I understand your hesitation. But like | told you before, I'm fine with being

your emotional bandage, even if you heal and move on with someone else.”

Despite her resolve, Elyse was moved by his sincerity. “Why must you be so humble? | mean, you can easily get

someone better than me.”

Hearing this, Edward straightened up and raised an eyebrow. “I believe you're the best choice for me, and that’s

what counts. As for being humble, | don’t think so. | feel I'm a bigger man, nothing short of handsome.”

Elyse couldn't help but chuckle at his unexpected boldness. “You are rather handsome, yes.”

“See, | knew it. Especially with this fearless pursuit of love, nothing can stop me!” Edward said with a grin. He

tried to unbutton his shirt, eager to flaunt his physique, but Elyse quickly stopped him.

With a teasing glance, Edward playfully remarked, “You're single now, so why not givea shot? I'd be more

than honored to be your rebound, even if it leads nowhere.”

Swallowing hard, Elyse hesitated, a touch of uncertainty crossing her face. After a moment of thought, she let

out a reluctant breath. “Alright, I'll think about it.”

A beaming smile lit up Edward's face. Eagerly, he gripped her shoulders and exclaimed, “You said it! You're

considering me, so that’s settled! No other guys allowed!”

Feeling slightly overwhelmed by his unrestrained enthusiasm, Elyse covered her face and exclaimed, “I heard

you the first time! Stop it!”

Realizing his overzealous reaction, Edward quickly calmed down. “Okay, okay,” he said, trying to compose

himself. “I got a bit carried away. Sorry, don’t hold it against me.”
