?<strong>Chapter 797:</strong>


    Elyse’s anxiety spiked, and she pushed away his wandering hands. “We might be in real danger, and you’re still trying to cop a feel? Hands off!”


    Jayden retorted with his typical roguish smile, “Come on, touching you is so enjoyable. They know what type of person I am.”


    Elyse pointed an using finger at Jayden, momentarily speechless. She couldn’t shake the feeling that Jayden had changed in some way. The reserved demeanor he used to show was gone, reced by a more outgoing boldness.


    Tired of their pointless exchange, Elyse quickly moved to the window. Below, leafy bushes looked like they could break their fall.


    Determined, she grabbed Jayden’s hand. “We need to jump,” she said. “We can make it.”


    Feeling her resolve, Jayden pulled her in close. “I’ll make sure we get out of this safely,” he assured her. “Don’t even think about jumping.”


    Elyse’s expression showed her confusion. “They have weapons. How do you n to get us out of here without harm?”


    Without a word, Jayden took her hand, opened the door, and walked out.


    Elyse was stunned. Armed guards filled the hallway, but they ignored Jayden, walking past as if he and Elyse were invisible.


    Elyse looked at Jayden, disbelief written all over her face. “Why aren’t they stopping us?” she asked.


    “We’re not who they’re after,” Jayden said simply.


    Elyse followed Jayden in a haze as they left the building. His driver was waiting at the curb.


    As she settled in the car, she saw Jayden start to walk away and quickly grabbed his sleeve, urgency in her voice. “Aren’t youing with me?”


    Jayden took her cold hand in his, warming it slightly. “I have to finish a scene and go back to act it out,” he exined, then teased, “If you let me into your room tonight, I might just rewrite the script.”


    Elyse sighed, frustrated. “There you go again, talking nonsense! I’m leaving. Just make sure Edward is safe. He doesn’t deserve any of this!”


    With that, Elyse pulled her hand away and rolled up the window. The driver elerated, and the car sped away.


    “Her temper’s only getting hotter,” Jayden murmured, standing there as Elyse drove off, a sigh escaping him.


    When he got back, he found Edward in a clothing store, now dressed in a new outfit. Edward looked puzzled and asked, “There shouldn’t be anything about me getting attacked in today’s n, right? Did you change it on the fly?”


    “I swear it was an ident. I had no idea that would happen,” Jayden responded.


    Edward raised an eyebrow, clearly skeptical, but he chose not to focus on that issue tonight. Wanting to change the subject, he asked, “Was Aarya taken away as nned?”


    Jayden confirmed with a nod. “Yes. Now we just need to wait for Charlie to make his move. If he doesn’t slip up, our n could fall apart.”
