Chapter 1070:

The man waved his hand dismissively, his voice lighthearted. “No need to worry. The word from the front is all

good. The enemy's trapped with nowhere to run—they’re just boxed in.”

A weight lifted off Elyse’s chest, and for the first tin hours, she allowed herself to breathe easier. She pouted

a little, her voice soft as she asked, “So, will he be back today?”

The man slapped his thigh with a hearty laugh. “Look at you two, head over heels! Don’t fret. Once this is all

sorted, we'll be raising our glasses at your wedding—mark my words.”

address you?”

“Peyton Ellis, an old friend you haven't seen in quite stime,” he replied, a smug grin spreading across his

lips. Elyse said nothing, her eyes fixed on him. She stared at Peyton's face for what felt like forever until

something odd caught her attention near his neck.

Curiosity got the better of her, and she stepped closer, her fingers brushing against the strange texture on his

neck. Shock washed over her. “Is this a latex mask?”

“Surprised? Didn't see that coming, huh?” Peyton threw his head back, laughing loudly, clearly enjoying the

Elyse stomped her foot in frustration. “Peyton! Do you seriously think playing these games withis fun?”

“Of course it’s fun! You didn’t even recognize me! Why wouldn't | enjoy it?” Peyton teased, raising an eyebrow,

his grin growing wider.

Elyse was too angry to respond, her words stuck in her throat. She remembered everything he had said earlier

and realized how foolish she had been to take him seriously. She wished she could disappear from sheer

embarrassment.

Peyton's eyes twinkled when he sensed her discomfort. “Oh, by the way, | may have stretched the truth a bit

earlier. Want to know which parts?”

Elyse tried to act indifferent, though her voice betrayed her. “I don’t want to know. Honestly, | asseverything

you said was a lie. | didn’t believe a word of it.”

Peyton leaned in, his tone playful. “Really? If you didn’t believe any of it, | suppose there’s no point in clearing

“You—" Elyse was at a loss, fuming silently at his teasing. Running a hand through his hair, Peyton smirked. “I'm

irresistible, | know. Don’t say too much now, or you might fall for me.”

Elyse gave him a sharp look, her expression unreadable as her thoughts churned. “You know, that mask has

really made you bold and narcissistic.”

Peyton shrugged. “What's wrong withbeing confident? And please, callVincent when I'm wearing this

mask.”
