NovelEnglishChapter 254 Pointless Concern
Peyton felt a headache and said, "Don't you think you owe Elyse an explanation? She really cares
about you."
Jayden's expression was unreadable, showing little emotion. "You know the dangers I constantly face. | can't
selfishly involve her in that."
Elyse was delicate, and Jayden felt it was his duty to protect her from the risks of his world, prioritizing her safety
above everything..
Realizing Jayden's firm stance, Peyton stopped trying to change his mind and suggested, "I'll take care of Corrie.
You should head home."
Jayden looked like he was about to argue, but Peyton cut him off, saying, "You're hurt as well, and you've
neglected Elyse today."
Jayden fell silent, confronting the fact that he had indeed let Elyse down.
Thus he decided to go home.
Peyton saw Jayden off, showing no concern for Corrie's wellbeing.
'As soon as Corrie was alone, she opened her eyes, a self-satisfied smile spreading across her face.
On the other hand, when Elyse woke up, she felt something was off and reached out for a hand, To her surprise,
the hand she touched was not as soft as Tracy's.

Startled, Elyse's eyes snapped open to see Jayden beside her, causing her to quickly suppress
her swirling
Jayden checked his watch, his brow creased. "You're not going for rehearsal today. Wouldn't you like to sleep a
little more?"
Silently, Elyse turned away, choosing to sleep further.
Jayden sensed her lingering anger. He pulled her closer and gently said, "Are you still mad? I'm sorry about
yesterday."
Elyse's voice was heavy with fatigue as she answered, "It doesn't matter anymore. I'm no longer interested in
your business."
Jayden was disturbed by her words. "Are you serious?"
Elyse replied with impatience, "Yes, I'm staying out of your business from now on. I'd prefer it if you stayed out of
mine as well."
Elyse had spent much of the previous day deep in thought, only to be overe by exhaustion.
She grappled with understanding why her relationships consistently culminated in being
abandoned by men.
First, it had been Theo, and now Jayden.
She had thought Jayden would be different. However, Jayden had succumbed to Corrie's lmanipulative
tactics.
After reflecting, Elyse realized that Jayden's lack of genuine love for her was the root cause. His lack of genuine
affection meant he didn't value their relationship.
With a new perspective on her situation with Jayden, Elyse decided to let go of any false hopes
she had harbored. It was foolish to hold onto those fantasies.
Jayden, feeling her pull away, becslightly agitated when he didn't get the reaction he
expected. He drew Elyse closer, demanding her attention.
"Are you this upset just because | wasn't there for you yesterday?" Jayden questioned, his voice tinged with
irritation.
Recalling Brook's remarks about the previous day's events made Elyse reflect.
Jayden really was clueless about love.
Elyse looked him directly in the eyes, unflinching. "As | said earlier, Corrie's fainting was a
deliberate ploy. She planned it to disrupt my birthday celebration, but you didn't see it that way. Instead, you
rushed her to the hospital, prioritizing her first."
Jayden felt a mix of frustration and helplessness wash over him. "I've already told you | have no intentions of
being with Corrie. Why can't you move past this?"
Elyse's tone was cold. "I want to know why, despite your assurances, you're still so attentive to Corrie. You never
really answered that."

"You're never going to drop this, are you?" Jayden retorted, annoyed by her continuous questioning. He
wondered why she couldn't just trust his mitment to her. Why did she always

Suddenly, Elyse noticed the bandage on Jayden's left arm. Surprised, she asked, "What happened
to your arm?"
Jayden looked down at his injury, realizing he couldn't hide it, and decided to be truthful.
Yet, he couldn't reveal the real reason behind yesterday's car accident, as it was linked to a past event.
With a heavy voice, Jayden explained, "I got hurt. There was a car accident on my way back yesterday, and |
broke my arm."
Elyse was visibly upset as she asked, "Then why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you respond to my calls?"
"My phone was destroyed," Jayden admitted honestly.
Elyse scoffed, continuing her questioning. "Then why didn't you letknow once you got back?" Jayden
massaged his temples, overwhelmed by her relentless questioning.
Annoyed, he retorted, "Why should | have told you? It wouldn't change anything. You couldn't help
find the driver who struckor fix my arm. | knew it would only make you worry."
After a brief silence, Elyse asked, "So you think my concern is pointless?"
