Chapter 1444:

Peyton, clearly annoyed, shot back, “What? He's too busy, but I'm not? I'm the deputy director at the hospital

now. My plate is overflowing.”

Jayden couldn't resist a tease. “Still the deputy? Hasn't your dad handed over the reins yet?”

“Not yet. He's still relishing the role,” Peyton admitted, then sighed comfortably. “You know, it's a cushy life—

success and wealth just seem to land in my lap.”

Jayden let Peyton boast for a bit but soon grew tired of it and quickly found a way to end the call.

As he was about to dive back into work, his phone rang again. This tit was Brook. Jayden’s eyebrows raised

in mild surprise as he answered.

Brook's voice sounded worn out as he said, “I need a favor, Jayden. It's urgent.”

Jayden raised an eyebrow. “This is a first. What's up?”

“It's about Jennie Walsh,” Brook hesitated.

Jennie? That rang a bell.

Jayden recalled and confirmed, “Your ex-girlfriend, right? | remember her.”

With a strain in his voice, Brook revealed, “She’s missing. Can you helptrack her down?”

Elyse opened her eyes to the dim glow of the late afternoon, her mind foggy from the remnants of sleep. She

shuffled out of bed, craving water, and noticed two glasses resting on the table. Confused, she asked, “Who

stopped by? Was it a client?”

“Someone | didn’t plan to meet,” Jayden said, his fingers flying across the screen of his phone. He stayed

engrossed in texting for a while before he finally placed the device aside.

When he looked up, he saw her staring blankly at the wall. “I still have swork to finish. Once I'm done, I'll

take you out for dinner.”

Elyse offered a small, awkward smile. “Alright. | could really use a glass of red wine.”

Jayden chuckled and said, “Feeling a bit parched, huh? Alright, red wine it is.” Without missing a beat, he

returned to his task.

Elyse spent the tcatching up with Chloe about her new job. After they wrapped up, she let out a weary sigh.

The stress of her demanding job was beginning to take a toll on her. When Jayden finally stood up, he declared,

“Let's eat.”

Elyse grabbed her purse and followed him out of the office. They ended up choosing a restaurant near the mall.

As Elyse settled into her seat, her attention was drawn to Thea sitting across the room with a man whose hair

was dyed a striking shade of blue.

Thea looked effortlessly glamorous in a trendy dress, a designer handbag draped elegantly over one shoulder. In

contrast, her companion was a total mismatch, decked out in full leather and chewing gum loudly, his rugged

aura practically dominating the space.

Elyse’s brows furrowed as she continued to watch Thea.

Jayden, noticing her expression, asked, “Do you not like this spot?”

Elyse shook her head and replied, “No, it's Thea Benson. She's right over there.”

Jayden followed her gaze, his eyes immediately catching on the man’s vividly blue hair. After giving the duo a

quick look, he remarked, “That's your cousin, isn’t it? She has... unique taste in men.”
