?<strong>Chapter 819:</strong>


    Theo was caught between frustration and resignation.


    He asked, “Even with Jayden’s mental issues, do you refuse to part ways with him? Is your affection for him that profound? What if he bes harmful in the future? What if he hits you? Have you thought about your own well-being at all?”


    Elyse was taken aback and responded, “I hadn’t considered that far ahead.”


    Theo suddenly became more emotional. “No. You cannot simply ignore this. You must think about it. You need to determine who is genuinely the best man for you, someone who can remain by your side forever.”


    Elyse replied, “I truly don’t know if Jayden might turn violent or deteriorate mentally in the future. As of now, he hasn’t behaved that way.”


    Theo sighed, exasperated. “So, you don’t intend to leave him, right?”


    Elyse was at a loss for words. She and Jayden had already ended their marriage, so leaving him wasn’t really an issue anymore. Yet, she had no intention of informing Theo about her divorce from Jayden.


    But why was Theo unaware of the divorce? Could it be because Jayden had not told him? Why hadn’t Jayden mentioned it?


    Elyse was uncertain about what Jayden was thinking. It seemed he held many thoughts but never chose to express his feelings.


    Elyse had to depend on what others said about Jayden to gradually understand his world.


    After a lengthy silence, Theo expressed helplessly, “I truly envy him.”


    Elyse looked confused. “You envy Jayden? For what do you envy him?”


    Theo just smiled weakly and remained silent.


    He envied that Jayden had the most loving woman in the world, who would stay by his side despite knowing his mental challenges.


    And this deeply loving woman had almost been his own wife.


    Theo kept his true feelings to himself, not daring to share them.


    Elyse continued to enjoy her cake. Once she finished, she inquired, “What’s next?”


    Theo, feeling disheartened, responded, “Do you still want to spend time with me? I’ve told you everything about Jayden, you can choose to leave.”


    Elyse checked the time and remarked, “There’s still some time left before the day is over.”


    Theo dismissed the idea with a wave of his hand. “All my ns today have lost their purpose. Let’s cut the date short.”


    Elyse paused to think, then suggested, “What if I take you somewhere?”


    Theo looked up, curious. “Where would you take me?”


    “Let’s go before it getste.” Elyse realized that after today, she might never spend time alone with Theo again. She decided it was best to cut off all ties today.


    Elyse guided Theo out of the restaurant. After they left the mall, they walked together for more than ten minutes until they reached a za.
