Silence enveloped the car, erasing the romantic tension Jayden had built.
Regaining her composure, Elyse felt awkward and sheepishly pulled her hand back, attempting to get off
Jayden’s lap. However, as she began to move, he firmly pressed her back down.
“Now that you've hit me, are you calm?” Jayden, feeling a tingle on his cheek, spoke in a tone that mixed
helplessness with grievance.

Elyse looked away, unwilling to meet his eyes, and said stubbornly, “What more is there to say? We didn’t part
ways over sunforgivable act.”

Jayden quietly replied, “Then why are you so severe with me?”
Anger nearly drove Elyse to laughter as she snapped back, “You tried to control me, to stopfrom competing!
| pleaded with you, didn’t I? Was your treatment justified?”
She pressed on, accusing him further, “I tried to talk, to truly connect with you. How did you respond? You
deceivedtand again, keptin the dark. Stop claiming it was for my benefit! You've repeated that so
often, you must believe it yourself by now!”
Jayden looked long at the furious Elyse before asking softly, “Why do you try so hard to understand me? Do you
really want to connect?”
This only infuriated Elyse more, and she exclaimed, “What other reason could there be? | cared about you
deeply! That's why | couldn’t overlook our issues or simply ignore them!”
Still seething, she slapped Jayden again and declared sharply, “I should have done this much sooner, you
heartless man!” Elyse longed to leave; her prior affection for Jayden had turned to disappointment and
resentment.
Despite this, Jayden clung to her, embracing her tightly and burying his face in her chest like a child seeking
solace and love.
He whispered, “You've hittwice already. Isn't that enough to calm you?”
“Leave my sight. Your mere presence irritates me,” Elyse snapped. After their divorce, she felt Jayden had lost all
shame. She pushed him away forcefully, unwilling to speak with him.
Jayden hadn't reached out before their divorce, so why now? She was uninterested.

In response, Jayden quickly locked the car doors, signaling to Elyse that she wasn't free to leave.
“Jayden! If you dare to confineagain, | will smash your face.” When she failed to open the doors after
multiple tries, Elyse glared at him, filled with a desire to physically harm him.
Facing an enraged Elyse, Jayden'’s breathing slowed, and he spoke softly, “Sweetheart, it's too dangerous right
now. | can’t leave you alone for your own safety.”
“Then explain the danger to me! What are your intentions? Are you scheming with Aarya and her father? Speak
up! Have you lost your voice?” Elyse’s voice rose sharply. When Jayden remained silent, her anger intensified,
and she began hitting him over and over.
Jayden didn’t fight back. He simply covered his head, allowing Elyse to release her frustration on him. Worn out
from the assault, she sat down, breathing heavily.
Noticing her reddened hand, he reached out to soothe it, but she rejected him with a slap.
“Who gave you permission to touch me? Dare to touchagain!” she snapped fiercely.
