?<strong>Chapter 736:</strong>


    Elyse straightened slightly, trying to mask her surprise. She said with a wry smile, “Well, I assume this isn’t just a coincidence?”


    “Forgive me,” Aarya responded, her hands sped as if in sincere regret. “I must confess that I have done some digging into your past. I hope this doesn’t upset you too much. If it does, please ept my sincere apologies.”


    Elyse couldn’t help but chuckle at Aarya’s directness. “Jumping right to the heart of the matter, are we?”


    Aarya’s hands fell to her sides as herposure returned to its usual calm. She ordered a coffee and, once it arrived, sipped it with leisurely grace.


    Aarya was no saint, and Elyse had no interest in forming any kind of bond with her. Still, Aarya’s rxed attitude grated on Elyse’s nerves.


    “What do you want from me?” Elyse snapped, her voice sharp with irritation. “You didn’te all this way just for a casual chat, did you?”


    Aarya nodded. “Indeed, I didn’te here just to chat. I came to thank you.”


    Elyse’s expression tightened, her smileced with sarcasm. “I can’t recall doing anything deserving of your thanks. Are you talking about the chocte cake I gave you yesterday?”


    After her remark, Elyse doubted that Aarya had traveled all this way just to express gratitude for a slice of cake.


    As she tore open a sugar packet and mixed it into her coffee, Aarya replied, “Actually, I’m thanking you for how well you trained Jayden.”


    Elyse’s face became rigid. She looked intently at Aarya, puzzled by herment. “What did you just say?”


    With a pleased grin, Aarya responded, “Jayden is simply outstanding. There’s no one quite like him.”


    Confused, Elyse asked, “What are you implying?”


    Pretending to be shocked, Aarya retorted, “Aren’t you his former wife? How do you not know?”


    Elyse responded, “Know what?”


    With a grin, Aarya borated, “Jayden is so thoughtful. He even stops smoking around me because I don’t like it, and he takes great care of me. I suffer from severe insomnia and struggle to sleep, but being with him, he prepares hot milk for me every night and reads me books until I fall asleep. Plus, he holds our rtionship in such high regard. He wants us to be moremitted before we have sex.”


    Growing frustrated, Aarya continued, “Although I appreciate how much Jayden respects me, I was ready to be with him, yet he resisted.”


    Now visibly agitated, Aarya said, “You’re his ex-wife, right? Tell me, is Jayden good in bed? How can he restrain himself if he is?”


    Elyse, caught off guard by Aarya’s question, stepped back and stuttered, “I… I can’t answer that.”


    Aarya frowned. “Why so secretive? I came here specifically to thank you, and you won’t even satisfy my curiosity.”


    At this, Elyse felt a wave of difort. She thought to herself how self-centered and presumptuous Aarya was.


    “Even if you won’t tell me, I’m sure Jayden is wonderful in bed.” As she spoke, Aarya proudly showed off the red marks on her neck. “See, these are love bites he left on me before I woke up.”


    Annoyed, Aarya eximed, “Jayden went too far. He left these marks without telling me. This morning, my dad saw them at breakfast, and I was mortified.”


    Elyse was at a loss for words. She took a sip of her hot cocoa, which tasted bitter and harsh.


    With a shy, yful expression, Aarya added, “It was quite the scene. I confronted Jayden, and he wouldn’t speak. He had the nerve to do it but not to own up. However, under my pressure, he finally confessed.”
