Chapter 1199:
On their return, Elyse confronted him. “Why did you announce our wedding to everyone? Since when are we
certain to have one?”
Jayden paused, stroking his chin in thought before responding with sincerity, “I just thought back to when we
first married. You weren't my bride, and | wasn’t your groom back then. We need to rectify that; it's only right.”
Utterly taken aback, Elyse responded, “That was a long tago. Is that really necessary now? Remember, |
never agreed to reconcile after our divorce.”
“So, when do you see us getting back together?” Jayden queried.

Elyse’s brow furrowed. “I think | should hear your reasons first, don’t you?”
“It won't be long. I'll have everything explained by the battle’s end,” Jayden assured her.
Elyse retorted with frustration, “And what makes you think that I'll simply forgive you after your explanation?”
His surprise was evident. “You mean, you might not forgive me?”
With a sneer, Elyse countered, “Considering everything you've done, do you really expect | won't be upset or
that I'll just forgive you?”
For once, Jayden was at a loss for words.

In his heart, he held onto the hope that Elyse would forgive him once she knew the full story. But would she
really?
Anxiety creeping in, Jayden quickly instructed her, “Head upstairs, take a right at the fourth door—that’s our
room. | need to handle surgent business and find Peyton.”
As Jayden hurried away, Elyse scoffed, watching his retreating figure. “Always off to Peyton, the cunning
strategist,” she muttered disdainfully.

Jayden’s presumptuous confidence left her speechless.
As she turned to ascend the stairs, a voice halted her. She faced a young man with an earnest smile. Curious,
she asked, “Is there something you need from me?”
The man nodded politely. “I work in the cafeteria. Mr. Jayden Owen sentto bring sbread and milk to your
room.”
Elyse quickly accepted the food from him, smiling warmly. “Thank you. I'll take it up myself; I'm heading to my
room now.”
The man nodded and reminded her, “The milk has been warmed. It's best enjoyed while it’s still warm.”
After he left, Elyse began ascending the stairs, but her steps faltered as a thought struck her. Why had she
accepted the food? Did taking it imply she was open to having sex with Jayden tonight?
