TimeNovelChapter 1392:
Felicia’s intentions were clear, and even Victor was becoming uncomfortable with her relentless matchmaking.
After finishing her meal, Elyse remained seated on the sofa, enduring Felicia’s continued chatter. Distracted, she
checked her phone and saw Jayden’s message about coming to get her.
Feeling a sense of relief, Elyse got up.
“Grandma, | have to head out now.”
Felicia, understanding Elyse’s hectic schedule, nodded in agreement.
“Be careful on your way out.”

In a moment of concern, she turned to Victor and suggested,
“Victor, would you mind giving Elyse a lift? It's too late for her to travel alone.”
Victor agreed readily and rose to his feet.
“Sure, I'll take her home.”

As they exited the living room, Elyse replied calmly,
“That won't be necessary, Victor. | can manage on my own. Take care.”
With a curious tilt of his eyebrow, Victor inquired,
“Oh? Someone coming to pick you up? Your ex?”
Elyse confirmed with a nod.
“Yes, so you're free to go now.”
Their conversation continued as they approached the entrance of the building.
A car waited outside, hazards blinking.
Elyse quickly said goodbye to Victor and darted toward the vehicle. From the doorstep, Victor attempted to
glimpse the driver through the tinted windows but couldn't discern any details.
Inside the car, Jayden, unnoticed by Victor, took a final drag on his cigarette while observing him closely.

Catching her look, Jayden promptly snuffed out the cigarette and switched on the air conditioner to dissipate the
smoke.
The engine started.
Turning towards Elyse, Jayden stole a few glances her way and asked,
“What's wrong? Did someone give you trouble?”
Resting her chin in her hand, Elyse replied vaguely,
“Something like that.”
Jayden let out a light laugh.
