?<strong>Chapter 882:</strong>


    Elyse, wary, asked, “What are you nning?”


    Jayden said, “I’m not plotting anything against you. It’s just that my rtionship with Aarya is beyond repair. I can no longer stay with the Hudsons, and they won’t let this slide easily. Staying with me is your safest bet.”


    Elyse bit her lip, confused. “What have you done? You always have schemes I’m unaware of, and I’ve been left out of the loop.”


    “Do you really think Aarya and her father will believe you’re clueless?” Jayden questioned, pointing to the phone in her hand. “Moreover, if you return, Aarya and her father might retaliate against you and your friends. Staying away could offer them some protection.”


    Elyse bit her lip again, pondering. “So, if I stay away, they’ll be safe?”


    “They will be, and I’ll ensure they are protected,” Jayden said.


    After a moment of contemtion, considering the well-being of Cody and her friends, Elyse reluctantly said, “Alright, I’ll stay with you.”


    Then, overwhelmed with anger, she delivered a forceful kick to Jayden.


    Jayden observed the dirt mark her shoe left on his trousers, seized Elyse’s ankle, and pulled her slowly but resolutely toward him. “Sweetheart, do you still feel any difort down there? Shall I take a look?”


    Elyse caught the mischief in Jayden’s expression and knew he was scheming something again. She attempted to withdraw her leg, but he gripped it tightly, not releasing her.


    Irritated, she said, “Stop the nonsense. Don’t touch me. Let go, we’re divorced, remember?”


    Jayden responded with a soft chuckle and drew her closer into his embrace, securing her waist firmly. No matter how much she resisted or rebuked him, he wouldn’t release her.


    “Sweetheart, the drug Aarya administered was a triple dose. I resisted its effects just to see you, almost reaching my limit. We were together just once.


    It helped counteract the drug’s influence. But now, it’s overpowering me again. Could you assist me, please?” His voice was a whisper against Elyse’s ear, seductive and deep, as his hands explored her body.


    He expertly targeted her sensitive spots, gradually dismantling her resistance.


    Despite the heat rising in her body from Jayden’s caresses, Elyse held onto herst shred of rationality. “I won’t be with you. I’m not your wife anymore. Find someone else. I reserve that intimacy for my husband.”


    “That’s right, good girl, your husband. Let me help you out of your clothes,” Jayden replied, hisughter echoing in the car.


    Elyse shook her head firmly. “No, we’re divorced. You’re not my husband anymore.”


    “Then let’s get married again. Once we remarry, I’ll be your husband again,” Jayden said as he removed Elyse’s clothespletely.


    “Married again? Is that all you ever think about?” Elyse, overwhelmed, struck Jayden across the face. As she realized what she had done, she froze.


    Jayden was equally shocked.
