?<strong>Chapter 1074:</strong>


    Jayden cut her off, saying, “Honey, hold on a moment. I need to speak with Garret first.” With that, Jayden and Garret proceeded to the study on the first floor.


    Feeling somewhat disheartened, Elyse continued to sit on the sofa, waiting for Jayden. An hourter, Jayden and Garret emerged, finding Elyse sound asleep on the sofa.


    Garret remarked, “Your girl certainly is persistent.” As he made thisment, he gave Jayden a pat on the shoulder and headed upstairs.


    Jayden approached Elyse, gazed at her peaceful face, and softly pinched her nose. Elyse scrunched her nose and hummed softly.


    Jayden let out augh, then turned his gaze toward the kitchen, where the aroma of food wafted through the air. He approached and discovered some macaroni and cheese. Jayden served himself a generous portion onto a te, settled on the sofa, and began to eat with enthusiasm.


    The sound woke Elyse, who opened her eyes to see Jayden feasting. Drowsily, she inquired, “Is it good? Isn’t it cold by now?”


    “It’s still warm, and it tastes better than anything I could make,” replied Jayden.


    Elyse let out a gentleugh. “You must be kidding. It’s been two hours. It surely must be cold.”


    Jayden offered no reply. He swiftly finished his meal, cleaned the dishes, then returned to Elyse and lifted her into his arms.


    Elyse, taken aback, eximed, “What are you doing?”


    “Taking you back to the room. Stay calm. Don’t squirm. I’m heading upstairs,” Jayden exined as he started up the stairs.


    Elyse objected, “But we’re already divorced.”


    “I know, but currently, we’re both staying under someone else’s roof. We need to share a room,” Jayden stated. “Do you want to ask Garret for another room?”


    Elyse, frightened by Garret, dared not request anything from him. She closed her mouth quietly, understanding that while under another’s roof, she had to submit. Jayden observed Elyse’s silence andpliance, feeling a sense of satisfaction.


    Once back in their room, he gently ced her on the bed before heading to take a shower. Elyse checked the time, realizing that if she slept for a few more hours, it would already be morning.


    Half an hourter, Jayden emerged from the bathroom, refreshed. He climbed into bed and noticed Elyse pretending to sleep, which brought a smirk to his face. He yfully warned, “I know you’re not asleep. If you don’t open your eyes, I might have to tickle you.”
