Chapter 199 Have I Made You Feel Neglected Lately

The driver spoke honestly. "He left this morning and hasn't returned yet."

Elyse refrained from further questions. She accessed Jayden's chat on her phone and after a brief pause, she sent a message. "Will you be home for dinner tonight?"

No reply came from Jayden after some time.

She placed her phone down and rested against the seat with a tired sigh.

Upon arriving home, Driscoll approached her with a respectful tone. "Mr. Owen won't be home for

dinner tonight. He advised you not to wait for him."

Elyse just nodded, silently walked into the dining room, and dined by herself.

She blurted out, "What's been keeping Jayden so busy lately? He's even not coming home for

dinner anymore."

Driscoll found himself in a tough spot, unable to reveal Jayden's current activities, especially since Elyse was unaware of his feigned disability.

Observing Driscoll's discomfort, Elyse chose not to pursue further Have Made You Feel Neglected Lately

questions. After eating, she returned to her room.

There, she picked up her phone again, but Jayden stil hadn't responded.

She let out a sigh and gazed out the window in frustration.

Just then, her phone rang. It was Tracy. Trying to remain composed as she pressed the answer

button.

"I've joined a crew to film a show tomorrow. I'm quite nervous. Could you join me at the set?" Tracy asked with a hopeful tone. <

Reflecting for a moment on the weekend ahead, Elyse replied, "Okay. I'll be there to support you."

Tracy then asked cautiously, "Your husband won't mind if I take you away, will he?"

Elyse paused, taken aback, then recalled Jayden's absence.

With a reassuring smile, she answered, "Don't worry. He won't mind. Just send me the location, and I'll see you tomorrow."

After ending the call, Elyse messaged Jayden that she would be joining Tracy at the film set tomorrow.

Jayden responded quickly this time. "Go ahead."

His brief reply was not what Elyse had hoped for. She yearned for more. Feeling a mix of

emptiness and unease, she rose and went to bed, her mind swirling with thoughts.

She eventually drifted off to sleep, unaware of when Jayden returned Waking early the next

morning, Elyse found Jayden asleep beside her, filling the emptiness inside her.

She watched him for some time, eventually reaching out to touch him gently and feel his warmth.

Her touch woke Jayden. Recognizing her, he relaxed and asked, "Why are you up so early?"

"I promised Tracy I'd be with her at the set today. She's already applying makeup," Elyse explained.

Jayden, still holding her hand, replied sleepily, "You can head out

later."

"No, she's anxious. I need to be there soon."

Elyse pulled her hand away and left the bed.

As she dressed, Jayden observed her and inquired, "When will you be back? I can come get you." Elyse hesitated, then asked, "Would it really be convenient for you? Haven't you been preoccupied lately?"

Jayden propped his head with one hand, waiting for her to say more, but she remained silent.

He had expected her to ask about his recent activities, but she didn't. With a frown, he offered an explanation. "There's an issue with Clive's project I need to address. It's wrapping up, so I'll be less busy soon."

It was a lie a convenient excuse

In reality, Clive's project had its problems, but they didn't require Jayden's involvement. He was

Concerned, she turned to him. "Is everything fine with Clive? Can he handle the problem on his own?"

"It's challenging for him alone, but I can manage it easily," Jayden responded, his gaze intense. Elyse felt intimidated by the intensity in Jayden's eyes. She quickly looked away and continued dressing.

"Have I made you feel neglected lately?" Jayden asked, seemingly reading her thoughts. Elyse firmly denied feeling upset. "No. We both have our

responsibilities."

"Why then did you go to bed so early last night?" Jayden questioned, a smirk playing on his lips. thought you'd be home waiting," he teased.

Elyse blushed slightly, overwhelmed by the day's events which had led her to fall asleep from exhaustion at eight o'clock in the evening.

Trying to sound casual, she explained, "I was simply too worn out from

practicing the violin too vigorously!"
