Can We Be Friends


    Jayden nced at Judy with an air of indifference and said, "Sure thing. whatever floats your boat."


    He was clueless about Judy''s offer to serve as his servant. Before dispatching the contract to his grandpa''s mansion, Jayden didn''t hesitate to extend temporary kindness towards Judy, luring her into unwarranted enthusiasm.


    Judy beamed happily at his response, sliding in beside Jayden, thoroughly enjoying her meal.


    To prove her point, she dug into the dishes with gusto.


    Seeing her eating with satisfaction, Jayden''s furrowed brow rxed.


    Driscoll, on the other hand, was on edge. Judy had brazenly taken Elyse''s seat and


    Driscoll was sweating bullets, hoping Elyse wouldn''te downstairs at this moment. If she did, things would get even tenser between her and Jayden!


    Unfortunately, Elyse descended the stairs, violin case in hand. As she passed the dining room, she saw Judy upying her seat, dining with Jayden It was like a dagger to her heart, the pain so intense she felt like crying


    Turning away, she hurried out of the house, clutching her bag


    Driscoll rushed after her, asking, "Where are you off to? I can get the driver to prepare a car for you."


    Elyse forced a smile, saying, "I''ve got something to take care of. No need to bother the driver, I''ll grab a taxi."


    With that, she left without looking back.


    Seeing he couldn''t stop her, Driscoll headed back inside.


    Jayden remainedposed, still eating. Despite Judy''s presence this time, Driscoll approached


    and said, "Elyse just left. Aren''t you going to check on her?"


    Jayden continued eating calmly, replying, "She''s not a child. If she doesn''t want to eat, I won''t push her."


    "What?" Driscoll could sense Jayden''s frustration with Elyse.


    Both of them were fuming. And with a third party involved this time, it seemed like their


    rtionship could hit the rocks because of this.


    Driscoll held Elyse in high regard, not just because she had saved Jayden''s hide in some tight


    spots, but also because of her character.


    Jayden had grown up in a nest of vipers, and having someone who genuinely cared about him was crucial.Text content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Driscoll believed only someone as genuine as Elyse could be Jayden''s better half


    As for Judy....


    He believed she was full of schemes.


    At that moment, Judy interjected, "This food is divine. It''s a shame Ms. Lloyd isn''t joining us." After a pause, she asked tentatively, "Mr. Owen, if I ask for seconds, will you think I''m a glutton?" Jayden replied indifferently, "Suit yourself."


    With an even brighter smile, Judy eximed, "Thank you, Mr. Owen. I''ll clean my te!" Jayden didn''t say anything more. Driscoll couldn''t fathom what was going on in his head, so he backed off.


    It wasn''t the right time to enlighten Jayden.


    He''d have a chat with himter, one on one.


    After leaving the house, Elyse hailed a taxi to the studio and went straight to the practice room. Since other members were not present, she stood alone in the middle of the room and began ying her violin.


    The music fluctuated between fast and slow. She tried to lose herself in it, but all she felt was

    She felt like a caged animal, unable to find a way out. It was like she was surrounded by invisible


    walls. No matter how hard she tried, she only ended up hurting herself.


    When she finished ying, tears streaked down her face.


    Then suddenly, she heard pping.


    Ina panic, she looked up to see a man wearing a cap and sunsses entering, apuding. "You''re incredible. Your music moved me."


    Approaching her, he looked familiar. Taking off his sunsses, he tried to remember. "Haven''t we met before, at the TV station?"


    Looking at him in disbelief, Elyse asked, "Are you Richie Larson? What are you doing here?" Richie reached out his hand and said, "What a small world! We meet


    again."


    Elyse didn''t take his hand, turning away awkwardly to wipe her tears.


    Noticing her distress, Richie pretended not to see, saying, "Your violin ying is amazing. Can we be friends?"
