Chapter 1468:
“If you’ve found love, I’m genuinely envious,” Brook admitted.noveldrama
Jayden crossed his arms and closed his eyes, deeply introspective.
After a pause, he reflected, “Love is quite extraordinary. Earning money left me feeling empty and alone, uncertain of my purpose. But as I grow closer to understanding love, I find peace in my heart and a new drive to succeed. It’s an alien sensation to me, but it’s absolutely wonderful.”
Brook, moved by the conversation, sighed wistfully. “To feel love like that would be incredible. I wish I could know that wonder too.”
Jayden offered a supportive gesture, patting Brook’s shoulder. “I’ll assist you in finding Jennie,” he promised.
Brook replied, “I don’t love her.”
“How would you recognize love if you saw it? You don’t even understand what it is,” Jayden retorted. After giving Brook a pointed look, Jayden picked up his briefcase and exited.
Rooted to his spot, Brook remained dazed for a moment before managing to open the door and depart.
Jayden arrived in Watscar past midnight after his flight. He stored his laptop in the study before silently proceeding to the bedroom.
Unexpectedly, Elyse was awake, nestled on the sofa with a book. Upon hearing Jayden’s approach, Elyse looked up and inquired, “Was your day at Owen Group smooth?”
Jayden joined her on the sofa, resting his weight against her. Feeling the pressure, Elyse objected, “Why do you lean so heavily on me? Please, get up!”
Laying his head on her shoulder, Jayden murmured tiredly, “I enjoy leaning on you. You should allow it.”
Elyse, annoyed, attempted to push him away without success, commenting, “It’s such a strange way to enjoy yourself.”
“Why are you awake at this hour?” Jayden questioned.
“I just returned and sat down myself. I was also out late,” Elyse explained.
“And how was the charity gala?” Jayden continued.
“It was fine, though I didn’t win what I was hoping for,” Elyse responded sincerely.
“Didn’t I give you a card to purchase anything you wished?” Jayden queried, sitting upright quickly.
Elyse rubbed her head. “I forgot to bring it.”
“You could have used my name. Just charge it to my account next time,” he suggested.
Jayden exhaled in resignation. “It’s fine. It was your first auction. Next time, I will accompany you. What’s the use of my earnings if you don’t benefit from them?”
Elyse laughed lightly. “It’s okay. But this time I met Freda, and surprisingly, she’s taken an interest in Gavin.”
Elyse closed her book with a decisive snap, stood up, and stretched. “Alright,” she said, her voice warm yet firm. “I’m calling it a night. You should head to your room and wind down too.”
Jayden tilted his head, a mischievous glint in his eye. “But I want to chat with you after my shower.”
Elyse’s gaze softened as she noticed Jayden’s hopeful expression. After a beat of silence, she relented, her tone laced with gentle humor. “Fine, but don’t take forever. Sleep’s already calling my name.”
