?<strong>Chapter 924:</strong>


    Worried Jayden might react badly and prohibit her from joining the tour, Elyse asserted forcefully, “I’ll be furious if you try to stop me.”


    Jayden’s expression turned sour at the mention of Edward. “They’re announcing it in two days? Let’s wait for the official word then.”


    Noticing Elyse’s frustration, he quickly added, “I’m not trying to keep you from going. I just don’t want you to be misled. Let’s just wait for the official announcement.”


    “Fine,” Elyse responded, her lips puckering as she walked back to her room.


    Watching her go, Jayden muttered to himself, “Edward’s really making his move, isn’t he?”


    Two dayster, the official notification arrived as expected. Elyse was overjoyed,ughing and clutching her phone. Jayden noticed her enthusiasm to participate in the tour and had consented.


    “The rehearsal starts this afternoon. I need to get ready,” Elyse dered as she headed back to her room to pack.


    Jayden furrowed his brow, regretting his swift agreement as he had forgotten about the rehearsal. Nheless, Elyse was focused solely on participating. With Jayden’s approval, she was set on attending the rehearsal, undeterred by any potential obstacles. Jayden could sense her anticipation and cautioned her, “Elyse, I won’t be able to be there with you at all times during the rehearsal.”


    Elyse reassured him, “I won’t be alone. Gavin will be there too.”


    “Alright. Just take care of yourself. I’lle to pick you up,” Jayden responded.


    Suddenly, Elyse felt a nostalgic surge as she remembered the times when Jayden used to pick her up after work. She quickly dismissed these thoughts. They were divorced now, and dwelling on the past could lead her to deceive herself.


    At the rehearsal, Elyse joined Edward and the others. Geraldine approached upon seeing her and eximed with excitement, “I thought we would never see each other again! It’s incredible that we get to perform together.”


    “It’s an honor to perform with all of you,” Elyse replied, equally excited.


    Darren joined them, exhaling in relief. “Luckily, I hadn’t gone back home yet because I wanted to visit here. Otherwise, I would have had to fly back.”


    When Jayden arrived, he found Elyse happily engaged in conversation with her friends. Unfamiliar with the music topics, he couldn’t join in their discussion. He leaned against the door frame, watching Elyse quietly.


    Darren noticed him and nudged Elyse. “Your husband is watching you.”


    Elyse turned and caught Jayden’s intense stare. Her heart skipped a beat. She walked over to him and asked with concern, “Aren’t you supposed to be busy? When are you leaving?”
