Jayden Didn''t Show Up


    Theo realized Elyse was teasing him. He clenched his teeth and snapped, "Do you have any idea what happens if you push me too far?"


    "This is not your ce. If you want to be arrogant, go somewhere else. Otherwise, I''l have


    security throw you out," Elyse replied coldly.


    "You''ve really changed since marrying Jayden Owen." Anger surged in Theo.


    In the past, she''d been gentle and soft with him. Even when she was furious, she''d just cry. Now, she was bold enough to talk sarcastically!


    "Theo, I don''t care about you anymore. Why do you keep showing up in front of me? Don''t you realize how ridiculous you look?" Elyse sneered.


    "Who put those words in your mouth? Jayden, I bet."


    Seeing Theo grow more paranoid, a crazy idea suddenly crossed Elyse''s mind.


    She blinked and asked cautiously, "Are you actually in love with me?" Theo was taken back. He instinctively took a few steps back and stared


    at her.


    He wanted to call her conceited. How could he be in love with her? He just thought she was okay


    and had gotten used to having her around, so he figured he could let her e back to him. Dist Show


    However, Theo found himself unable to utter those words.


    There was a voice inside urging him to make a move. He had to tell her the truth! He had to tell her


    how he felt!


    Theo clenched his fists and wore a grim expression. "How could I ever fall in love with you?" he retorted.


    Elyse sneered.


    It made sense. No matter how wild he could have been, he couldn''t possibly love her.


    "Theo, where are you?" a woman''s voice called out, searching for him.


    The voice was familiar to Elyse. She remembered the woman from the


    parking garage of the mall they visited recently.


    "Quick, get going. Your date''s searching for you," she told Theo, urging him to go.


    Theo nced at her without saying anything. Then he opened the door and left.


    ''As soon as he was gone, Elyse leaned on the back of a chair, her body weak. She felt a bit


    lightheaded.


    Reaching for the dessert on the table, she took a bite. Her thoughts were consumed with Jayden.


    Why hasn''t he returned yet?


    "Mrs. Owen, it''s time," Driscoll said as he opened the door.


    "Where''s Jayden?" Elyse asked, setting down her dessert.

    "I haven''t been able to reach him. His phone is off," Driscoll replied. "I''ve asked Dr. Ellis for help.


    Please don''t worry."


    Elyse shook her head. "I''m okay. Nothing can go wrong today."


    This party was organized by Jayden. He had invited many influential figures. Even if he wasn''t there, Elyse, as his wife, needed to keep the party going.


    When Elyse appeared in her evening gown and pearl crown, she captured everyone''s attention. "Is that Mr. Owen''s wife? Didn''t they say he didn''t love her?

    "Those are just rumors. Just like when someone spread gossip about Jayden mistreating his wife,


    it seems like jealousy is at y here for having married such a beautiful spouse."


    "But why isn''t Jayden here? Where is he?"


    "Yes, I didn''t see him either. The party has started,"


    Peyton and a few other guys were calling Jayden from a corner of


    celebration hall.


    Peyton''s frustration showed. "Jayden''s lost it. Why''s he busy elsewhere during his wife''s birthday


    party? His phone''s off!"


    Despite Jayden''s absence, the party continued.

    But when it was time for dancing, Jayden''s absence was noticeable.


    ording to the original n, Jayden would be seated in a wheelchair while Elyse danced around


    him.


    If they skipped this part, it would bee evident that Jayden wasn''t present.


    The party was for Elyse''s birthday, so if Jayden wasn''t there, did that mean Elyse wasn''t important to him?


    Driscoll found himself in a bind.


    However, Elyse remained incredibly calm.


    She had anticipated this, just like when Theo abandoned her at their wedding, and now Jayden had deserted her at her birthday party.


    As the murmurs around her grew louder, with everyone specting about whether Jayden loved


    her.


    At this moment, someone holding a ss of wine approached and smiled. "Mrs. Owen, it''s been a while. Why haven''t I seen your husband around?"
