?<strong>Chapter 294:</strong>


    As noon approached on the second day, Elyse left the hospital and returned home. Shortly after she settled in, Tobin arrived with a document.


    “Sir, this is what you requested,” Tobin conveyed, offering the document to Jayden.


    After reading it, Jayden remained silent and then passed it to Elyse. Perplexed, Elyse scrutinized the bank ount records and discovered that Mabel had transferred six hundred thousand dors to Rebekah.


    Clutching the statement tightly, she incredulously queried, “Does Mabel truly know Rebekah? What arrangement have they made?” She didn’t notice that her voice was trembling.


    After a pause, Jayden said, “It likely pertains to your sheet music. Otherwise, it’s challenging to justify why Mabel would give Rebekah six hundred thousand.”


    Elyse was taken aback. Following a prolonged silence, she dered, “I’ll inform my friends and seek their assistance in probing Rebekah. It’s inconsequential if the truth eludes discovery; I possess the means to establish your innocence as well. Do not fret excessively,” Jayden reassured, enfolding her in his embrace, his gaze aze with longing.


    Lost in thought, Elyse failed to notice Jayden’s arousal. Upon regaining awareness, she realized they were alone; Driscoll and Tobin had departed, and the room was sealed shut.


    Pressing her hands against Jayden’s chest, she avoided meeting his intense gaze. Biting her lip nervously, she murmured, “It’s daytime now. It’s not the time for intimacy.” Thest word filled her with extreme shyness, and she bowed her head, unable to meet the man’s gaze directly.


    Admiring her shyness, Jayden drew her nearer, sping her in his embrace. Nipping her ear, he murmured in a hoarse, low tone, “I crave you. Do you not desire me?”


    Quivering, Elyse blushed, replying, “No. Release me. I want to go back to my bedroom.”


    Halting her, Jayden proposed, “We could engage in the living room.”


    “No way,” Elyse retorted firmly.


    Jayden grabbed her breasts as a punishment for her refusal. As she moaned in his embrace, he warned, “If you decline once more, I’ll escort you to the kitchen.”


    Pain seared through her, yet soon she found somewhat sce. She despised the sensation of being in his grasp.


    Their mutual affectionckedpleteness, yet their physicalpatibility was undeniable. Observing her desire to flee, Jayden perceived it as another act of disobedience. Slowly, he directed his other hand toward her, softly murmuring to her ear, “Darling, you’re wet. Don’t attempt to flee.”


    Feeling embarrassed, Elyse retorted, “I’m not. Who’s wet?”


    With a quirked eyebrow, Jayden prodded the sensitive spot.


    Gradually, her resistance waned, reced by soft moans. “Not there. Please.”


    Perched upon Jayden’sp, she blushed, her attire askew, tears brimming in her eyes. Weakly, she leaned against him, casting him a pitiful nce.


    Jayden bowed his head, the sight fueling his desire to possess her even more. One thought consumed his mind – he must take her now.


    Licking his lips, Jayden uttered, “You want me, don’t you?”


    Elyse’s mind nked momentarily beforeprehending Jayden’s intent. She responded with greater distress, “I do not.”


    “Stop denying it,” Jayden insisted.


    Elyse, bewildered, watched as Jayden removed her blouse and flung it onto the sofa before she could stop him. Shielding her breasts with her arms, she cast a cautious nce at Jayden, quivering beneath his gaze filled with desire.


    He lightly tapped her buttock and murmured, “Quickly remove your trousers on your own.”


    “I decline,” Elyse stated, herplexion pale.


    Jayden casually touched her buttock and remarked, “Your trousers are wet now. If you refuse to remove them, I’ll tell others you peed on yourself.”


    ncing at her trousers, Elyse felt extreme embarrassment. “Do you have to do this to embarrass me?” Elyse questioned, her tone tinged with grievance.
