?<strong>Chapter 837:</strong>


    Jayden’s groan drew Aarya’s attention. Having spent the night with him, Aarya’s defenses were down, and she inquired softly, “What’s wrong?”


    Jayden persisted. He audaciously extended his foot, pressing it against Elyse’s thigh. The restaurant table was long but narrow, allowing his long leg to reach and press against a sensitive area between Elyse’s legs.


    He said calmly, “It’s nothing. Are you hungry? This pizza looks good. Let’s just go for pizza today. What do you say?”


    Aarya, misunderstanding, assumed Jayden was really in the mood for pizza. After spending the night with him, her dependency on him grew, causing her to cling to him more. While they talked about the types of pizza, Jayden kept up his advances under the table.


    Elyse was just beginning to feel victorious when Jayden’s daring action froze her. She worried that Aarya might spot Jayden harassing her beneath the table. As time went on, Elyse became increasingly frightened. Seizing a moment when Aarya was distracted, she shoved Jayden’s foot away and quickly stood up, heading straight for the restroom.


    Watching Elyse leave so abruptly, Aarya took the chance to berate her. “Look at your ex-wife. She’s so rude. You should really cut off all ties with her. Keeping her around only drags you down.”


    Jayden agreed and got up, saying, “I need to use the restroom too. Your dad will call soon; can you handle it?” Without pausing, Aarya responded, “Of course, go ahead. If he calls for something, I’ll yfullyin to make sure he gives you a break.” She added timidly, “After all, you must be worn out fromst night, right?”

    Jayden raised an eyebrow but remained silent, turning to head for the restroom.


    Elyse stood in the restroom, cleaning the footprint from her pantyhose. As she scrubbed, she grumbled, “Jayden is such a maniac, doing something like that to me in broad daylight. I’m about to lose my mind over him.”


    Seemingly by chance, Jayden appeared, leaning against the restroom door, observing her frustrated expression. “Is this what you say about me when I’m not here?” Elyse was taken aback. Upon seeing Jayden, she retorted irritably, “Am I not allowed toin? You provoked this.”


    Jaydenughed at her response and remarked, “I enjoy teasing you like this, making you angry but unable to protest in public.” Approaching Elyse, he smiled slightly and added, “Do you realize how cute you are? It just makes me want to tease you more.”


    Elyse met his gaze coldly, unfazed. “Why don’t you go tease your girlfriend? It seems Aarya is quite receptive to it. Afterst night’s sex, she’s be very… attached.”


    Jayden scratched his ear and remarked, “Oh? Could it be that you’re jealous of Aarya? You really think we had sex?”


    Disgusted, Elyse shoved him away. “I despise scumbags the most. Keep your distance and nevere near me again.”


    She attempted to leave, but Jayden caught her, forcing her to spin around and lean against the wall, his eyes brimming with lust. He murmured, “You’re jealous. That’s actually good news for me.”


    Elyse angrily retorted, “Get away from me, or I’ll scream for help.”


    Jayden seized her chin and kissed her forcefully, his hand moving up to her chest and squeezing her breasts. After a fierce struggle, Elyse sumbed, bing limp in his grasp.
