?<strong>Chapter 559:</strong>
Elyse looked at Tracy’s sleeping face for a while when Driscoll knocked at the door. “Mrs. Owen, we have a guest,” he announced.
Rising from her chair, Elyse expressed her confusion. “At this hour? Who could it possibly be?”
Without a word, Driscoll shot a nce full of concern toward Tracy.
Elyse followed him downstairs and was surprised to see Shaun lounging on the sofa, with Jayden seated opposite him.
Furious, Elyse marched over in her slippers.
“Unbelievable! How dare you invade my home like this? And sitting on my sofa, no less! Who gave you permission?”
Shaun looked up, met her gaze, and nonchntly picked up a ss from the table. After taking a sip of the water, he remarked, “Your water is quite refreshing. Could you pour me another?”
Outraged, Elyse snapped, “The nerve! You have no shame!”
Seeing Elyse’s distress, Jayden quickly guided her to sit down next to him, trying to calm her. “He’s here as a guest, Elyse. We can’t just throw him out.”
Elyse retorted, “And why is that?”
Shaun, with a raised eyebrow, exined, “Because you’ve taken my wife. I’m here to bring her back.”
Overwhelmed by anger, Elyse burst out, “Your wife? After all the misery you’ve caused her, you still dare to call her that?”
Shaun said with a sigh, “I know I’ve been harsh. My love for her overwhelmed me. I’m sorry.”
Ignoring the apology, Elyse scoffed. “Just leave. I won’t hand Tracy over to someone who treats her so poorly. She is not a good match for you, and she doesn’t need to endure this.”
Undeterred, Shaun asked, “Then whom do you suggest?”
“Dolores,” Elyse replied firmly. “Your families arepatible, and you have history. She’s a better match for you.”
Acknowledging her point, Shaun responded, “That may be true, but I don’t ept it. Tracy is my chosen wife and the future mother of my children. I insist you return her to me.”
Elyse, finding his words ridiculous, challenged him, “Why on earth should I do that?”
He answered seriously, “She might be carrying my child. Does that change your mind?”
At this, Elyse’s anger red, and she looked ready to strike.
Jayden restrained a visibly upset Elyse, exhaling a long, weary sigh. Shaun, who typically carried himself with an air of sophistication, was now behaving recklessly. It had caught Jayden off guard to see Shaun this aggressive,pletely losing hisposure.
With another sigh, Jayden said, “Tracy asked us to look after her. I understand how you feel, but we need to honor her wishes.”
After a moment of silence, Shaun responded, “You’re right. But where’s Tracy? I need to talk to her.”
Elyse snapped back, “She’s sleeping. Just leave; you’re only causing trouble.”
“Then I’ll need a room for the night,” Shaun decided, nodding. “Prepare a guest room for me. I’m staying.”
Elyse retorted sharply, “Absolutely not! You need to leave.”
Shaun countered firmly, “You should show some respect to your guests. Moreover, if Tracy is carrying my child, it’s impossible for me to leave now.”
Elyse’s frustration with Shaun’s unyielding demeanor only grew.
Jayden arched an eyebrow. “Are you really nning to stay here?”
Shaun challenged him, “I’ve heard you severed ties with the Owens. Surely, your house still has a guest room.”
Jayden responded with a sneer, “Very well. Set up a guest room for him.”
Elyse red at Shaun, her disbelief palpable at the thought of this irrational man remaining in their house. How would she even begin to exin this situation to Tracy the next day?
Jayden tried to soothe her worries, “Don’t fret. We have bodyguards, and Shaun won’t make a scene. Let’s just see how things unfold tomorrow.”
Unconvinced, Elyse remarked, “Tracy will not be pleased to find him here.”
“We don’t have much choice,” Jayden exined. “They have a long history together. And if Shaun’s im holds any truth—if Tracy is indeed pregnant—she might not be able to leave.”
Elyse’s anxiety intensified. “I hope she’s not pregnant. Tracy has ns to leave Watscar.”
