?<strong>Chapter 714:</strong>


    Elyse’s face paled in shock. “Are you crazy? You don’t intend to take me back home, do you? I have apetitioning up. You can’t do this.”


    Jayden’s expression darkened, his grip tightening. “I do what I want. Don’t forget, you are my woman.”


    Elyse couldn’t hold back any longer. “We’re already divorced. You have no right to interfere with my life!”


    Jayden grabbed her chin, pressing closer; cornering her in the confined space of the car.


    “Divorce? I decide when this marriage ends. It’s not up to you.”


    Trembling with anger, Elyse retorted, “Don’t go too far, Jayden. Turn around immediately. I want to go back.”


    Jayden remained silent.


    “You know how important thispetition is to me. If you really take me to the airport and forcefully bring me home, I will never forgive you.” Elyse bit her lower lip tightly, but her bright eyes remained defiant.


    Jayden stayed silent for a long moment before sneering. “What’s so important about thatpetition? You should stay by my side.”


    Elyse replied firmly, “I have my own life, and participating in thispetition is the most important thing for me right now.”


    She stared at Jayden, who was unwilling to relent, and added seriously, “Turn this car around. If you turn around, we can talk.”


    After a prolonged silence, Jayden finally instructed the driver, “Don’t go to the airport.”


    The driver asked, “Sir, where should we go instead?”


    Jayden scratched his head in frustration. “Anywhere but the airport.”


    Elyse red at Jayden. “Where are you taking me?”


    Jayden roared back, “If you keep asking, I’ll throw you into the forest.”


    It was the first time Jayden had yelled at her since their marriage. Stunned for more than ten seconds, Elyse pouted, looking sad.


    Realizing his tone was too harsh, Jayden couldn’t bear to see such an expression on Elyse’s face, which only made him more irritable. “Fine, I’ll send you back, okay? Just don’t look at me like that. It makes me feel…”


    Unable to say the word “heartbroken,” Jayden changed his wording. “It makes me feel disgusted.”


    Elyse grew even more aggravated and angry.


    She punched him and shouted furiously, “You are disgusting! You hear me? Your whole family’s disgusting!”


    Jayden conceded, “You’re right. My family is truly disgusting.”


    Hearing this, Elyse rolled her eyes in frustration, crossed her arms, leaned back in her seat, and stared nkly at her feet.


    Noticing Elyse’s calm demeanor, Jayden also quieted down.


    They were seated just inches apart, so close that a slight movement would cause them to touch.


    Elyse was aware of their proximity, but she didn’t expect Jayden to be so audacious, leaning on her shoulder, making it go numb.


    “Jayden, we are divorced. Don’t be so shameless,” Elyse snapped angrily.


    Jayden remained silent.


    Elyse continued, “You’re heavy. Get up.”
