?<strong>Chapter 838:</strong>


    As he continued kissing her until she weakened, he whispered in her ear, “Let me tell you something. Last night, I wasn’t with Aarya.”


    Elyse was stunned for three seconds before she threw a punch at Jayden’s abdomen. He groaned in pain, looking at Elyse in confusion.


    Elyse sneered, “If you’re going to lie, at least make it believable. Who else could have slept with Aarya if it wasn’t you?”


    She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and said, “You say you have your own ns, cooperating with the Hudson family. No matter what effort or sacrifice you’ve made, it has nothing to do with me.”


    Jayden hung his head. He could tell that this time, Elyse was genuinely angry.


    He scratched his head, his toneced with frustration. “I already said this before—I’ll exin it to you when the time is right. Why can’t you understand? Can’t you just wait a little longer?”


    With a furrow of her brow, Elyse retorted, “Why should I? Why should I be caught between you and Aarya? Have you ever considered my feelings? This might all be fun and games to you, but I find it disgusting and hate it. I don’t want to see you or your girlfriend ever again.”


    Jayden stared at Elyse, a long silence stretching between them. Finally, he asked, “Do the things I do disgust you? Or is it me you find revolting?”


    Confusion painted Elyse’s face at his question. “What do you mean?”


    Jayden’s lips twisted into a wry smile. “I know I’m repugnant. I thought you liked this about me. What changed now?”


    Elyse kept her face rigid and unyielding. “Just because you’re repugnant doesn’t mean I have to let myself get dragged down with you.”


    Jayden stood there, his eyes fixed intently on her. At that moment, he wanted to seal her lips with his. That way, Elyse couldn’t say such hurtful words.


    Jayden’s eyes turned red. “You’re mine, and only mine. Whatever I say, you will go along with it.”


    “Get it straight. We divorced long ago. We have nothing to do with each other. Aarya is now your girlfriend.”


    With those words, Elyse pushed Jayden away and left the restroom with a dark expression. She had just returned to her seat at the dining table when Aarya impatiently began to show off.


    Aarya said, “I’m really sorry. I know it’s hard for you to see Jayden being nice to me, but there’s nothing I can do. Jayden wants to eat pizza from this ce, so I have to stay with him.”


    “I’ve never seen someone as shameless as you.” Elyse red at Aarya, then picked up the water ss in front of her, pouring it all over Aarya’s face.


    Caught off guard, Aarya screamed and cursed, “You bitch! Are you insane?”


    Elyse looked at Aarya coldly. “What’s with all the screaming? It’s just a ss of water. It’s not like I’m trying to kill you. You’re overreacting.”


    Aarya fumed with anger. She reached out, trying to hit Elyse. But Elyse was faster, pping Aarya across the face.


    “How dare you? I’m going to kill you!” Aarya had never thought Elyse would hit her so hard. Her cheek throbbed, stinging with pain as the skin swelled up.
