Chapter 225 There Are Things | Can't Tell You

As Elyse and Jayden exited the room, Elyse looked visibly distressed. #/

Though she remained silent, Jayden could tell she was upset.

They walked to the hotel entrance where their driver was waiting. The car pulled up, and Elyse got

in first, followed by Jayden.

Once inside, the driver set up the partition between them.

After a moment of silence, Jayden glanced at Elyse and reached out to hold her hand, but she pulled away

sharply.

Jayden retracted his hand, expressionless, and asked, "Are you upset again?"

Elyse, gazing out the window, didn't respond to him.

Jayden said with a sense of resignation, "There's no reason to be upset. | have no feelings for Corrie whatsoever."

Elyse, rubbing her eyebrows with frustration, replied, "Jayden, haven't we moved past this? You keep saying

that."

She looked at Jayden and scoffed. "Sure, you have no feelings for her. What about before? If you truly had no

feelings for her, how did you end up with her for two years? Isn't two years long enough to develop feelings?"

Jayden frowned and said, "Who told you that? Corrie?"

"It doesn't matter who told me. What | need to know is if | truly am your wife in your heart and why

you won't share things with me. Don't | deserve that?"

Tears welled up in Elyse's eyes as she voiced her grievance. Jayden was taken aback.

Tears began streaming down her cheeks.

He instinctively reached out to wipe away her the tears.

But she couldn't stop crying.

Jayden couldn't understand why she felt so aggrieved or why she was asking these questions. But one thing was

clear to him. He hated seeing her cry, it pained him deeply.

After a moment of thought, he sighed deeply and said, "I was with Corrie only for her family's resources. | even

had a friend make up a story to facilitate this. It took Corrie's family a year to finalize their decision on their

business partner, and unfortunately, it wasn't me. That's when | ended things with Corrie."

Elyse, clenching her teeth, asked doubtfully, "Then why did Corrie say that she was with you for nearly two

years?"

"Because she has been appearing at various social events pretending to be my girlfriend."

Jayden explained with a slight smile, "She gained more advantages than you could imagine from that role."

Elyse's attitude softened.

"Then why did you rush to see her immediately after she called you the night before last? You even kept it a

secret from me. Are you hiding anything else?"

Hearing this, Jayden started to feel a headache brewing. Why did he have to justify so much to a woman?

Just as he was about to lose his temper, he noticed the determined yet hurt look in Elyse's eyes. Her eyes were

red, reminding him of the rabbit he once cared for. She looked so pure and innocent, utterly adorable.

Rubbing his forehead, he felt compelled to clarify, "I didn't want to make you overthink things. | thought if you

knew about my ex-girlfriend, you'd get upset. Besides, | never expected you to meet her. What was the point of

bringing her up?"

Hearing Jayden's words, Elyse responded with dissatisfaction, "You kept these things frombecause you don't

trust me. You don't really seeas your wife."

Jayden replied, somewhat exasperated, "Where did you get that idea? I've treated you so well. Don't push your

luck!"

Elyse laughed with anger. How could he say that!

"Since you've realized Cortie's true nature, why did you meet with her? Shouldn't you be avoiding her?"

She noticed Jayden had been dodging this question.

Indeed, after she asked, Jayden fell into an awkward silence.

After a pause, Elyse, feeling a lump in her throat, asked, "Tell me. Do you feel guilty?"

After a lengthy silence, Jayden responded blankly, "No. There are things | can't tell you. But |

promise, | have no feelings for her."

Biting her lip, Elyse fixed her gaze on Jayden.

With no other option, Jayden reached out to gently wipe away her tears, saying in a serious tone, "Don't cry. It

makessad."
