?<strong>Chapter 920:</strong>


    Brook had no interest in verbally sparring with Jayden. When they were younger, they did not get along. Being from the same big family meant they couldn’t physically fight, but they often argued. In those days, it was either Jayden annoying him or him irritating Jayden.


    Brook touched his face, feeling his age as he reflected on past memories. He wondered if this nostalgia was due to nearing thirty. Sitting up straight, he ceased his daydreaming. “Jayden, stop berating me. I’m interested in you. Your personality has grown more and more…”


    He stopped, thinking deeply. After a while, he found the right word and continued, “You’ve be more extroverted, no longer concealing your feelings. Moreover, you’ve be quite aggressivetely.”


    Jayden scoffed. “I only pretended to be crippled and bore it all for a year. Have you forgotten who I really am?”


    Brook was momentarily surprised, thenughed. “No, that’s not what I was getting at. I mean, ever since you and Elyse got together, you’ve be much more direct. At times, you seem almost childlike.”


    Stroking his chin, Brook paused to think and then added, “Could it be Elyse’s influence? You seem to be getting younger.”


    Once Brook brought Elyse up, Jayden remembered her phone. He extended his hand and demanded, “Give me back my wife’s phone.”


    Brook hesitated for a few seconds before asking, “Is Elyse at your ce? Then she’s safe. Don’t let her go out these days. It’s not safe.”


    Jayden responded icily, “Keep your worries to yourself. Just give me her phone now.”


    Brook, growing irritated, retorted sharply, “I’m only warning you because Corrie is on her way. She’s totally on Enzo’s side now. Watch out for her.”


    “Enough with the nonsense. Hand over the phone!” Jayden was only focused on getting Elyse’s phone.


    Brook clenched his teeth in frustration, thinking Jayden had always been deserving of a thrashing since they were kids. He dispatched one of his men to retrieve the phone. Shortly after, Jayden had it in his possession and ceased speaking.


    Watching him drink silently, Brook teased, “I used to think Elyse was thepliant one. Now, it seems you’re the one who’spliant. What’s brought about such a change?”


    Jayden gave Brook a look, who seemed eager to gossip. “It’s simple. You’ll understand once you’re married. You’re nearing thirty, and yet no one has agreed to marry you.”


    His remark left Brook at a loss for words.
