She Was Definitely Jealous

Jayden frowned. "Me, chatting happily with her? Who? You do realize that you're the one who walked out and took a stroll with another man?"

He gritted his teeth before continuing, "I haven't even settled accounts with you yet. You really like starting troubles, don't you?"

Elyse felt even more upset. What did he mean, starting trouble? Ridiculous! He was the one dining happily with another woman. He even let Judy use her utensils!

Just the thought of it sparked her fury anew. "I don't want to see your face right now. We're sleeping separately tonight!"

Up ahead, the driver shuddered. Was their fight so bad that they were even going to sleep in different rooms? He needed to report it to Driscoll as soon as possible and request for backup. Jayden stewed. He wasn't expecting Elyse to be angry to this extent. Worse still, he had no idea why.

He thought back to everything he had done throughout the day, but he found nothing out of the ordinary. Certainly nothing that would warrant this fit she was throwing.

Clicking his tongue in frustration, he asked, "What exactly is happening here? What did I do wrong? Be clear with it once and for all."

Elyse pressed her palm against her forehead and sighed. She didn't want to talk about this

anymore.

When she was still with Theo, she had never felt any sense of security. Sadly, Jayden's actions earlier were very reminiscent of what she had to endure in the past.

At this point, she didn't even want to talk about this. She just wanted to burrow under the covers and sleep until the end of the world.

She didn't say anything else for the rest of the drive. No matter what Jayden said to her, she just kept her silence.

'As soon as they arrived home, Elyse went straight upstairs, ignoring Jayden.

He scowled, furious now, too.

Noticing the tension between them, Driscoll cautiously approached Jayden and asked, "What is wrong with Elyse? I thought you picked her up, why doesn't she seem

pleased?"

"How should I know?" Jayden snapped viciously. "She's not saying anything, like some mute from the streets. I keep asking her again and again, but she won't even look at me!"

"Alas," Driscoll sighed. "I'm guessing that she is still bothered by the fact that you let Judy use her personal tableware."

Jayden frowned at him in bewilderment. "What personal tableware? I've never heard of such thing."

The butler sounded alittle helpless as he explained. "When she first married you, I noticed that she preferred to keep to herself. So I had someone prepare two sets of matching tableware for both of you. She was very happy with them, and even told me that she finally felt like she was part of the household."

Driscoll cleared his throat, a little embarrassed as he continued, "But earlier, you didn't stop judy from using her tableware. You even let her sit in her usual place. In her eyes, you were

inconsiderate to her and her feelings. She probably thinks you have developed affection for Judy." Jayden inhaled sharply. "Why didn't you tell me about any of this before? I had no idea it was her personal tableware."

"But the pieces are customized, Mr. Owen," Driscoll defended himself. "Didn't you notice when the tableware was changed?"

Jayden fell into silence. Truthfully, he had indeed noticed, but he didn't think much of it.

He took another deep breath and stroked the band of his wristwatch. "Are you saying that Elyse misunderstood me because I didn't stop Judy from using her tableware?" His eyes suddenly lit up with realization. "You're saying that she is jealous!"

Driscoll briefly closed his eyes and nodded helplessly. "! would advise you not to be so happy about it, though. She is really upset at the moment. You should go and reassure her." He also made a point of telling Jayden, "She is actually quite distressed by Judy's presence. If you want to. appease her, I'm afraid you need to send Judy away."

mm, when you put it like that, it sound like she really is jealous of Judy." Jayden turned pensive. "All right, it's late. You should head to bed, Driscoll."

Then he wheeled himself to the elevator and went to the second floor.

Driscoll watched Jayden go with yet another sigh. The young couple still had a long way to go.

In the bedroom on the second floor.

Elyse had just finished taking a shower and was in the process of applying her skin care in front of the dressing table when Jayden came in

She turned in her chair and frowned at him. "What are you doing here? I'm not sleeping with you!"

For a long while, Jayden just stared at her; she was definitely jealous.

"This is also my room," he drawled as he approached the bed. "Why can't I sleep here?"

Elyse scoffed. "Just sleep in your study and leave me alone!"

"No, I want to sleep with my wife in my arms."
