Chapter 245 Jayden Didn't Show Up
Theo realized Elyse was teasing him. He clenched his teeth and snapped, "Do you have any idea what happens if you push me too far?"
"This is not your place. If you want to be arrogant, go somewhere else. Otherwise, I'l have
security throw you out," Elyse replied coldly.
"You've really changed since marrying Jayden Owen." Anger surged in Theo.
In the past, she'd been gentle and soft with him. Even when she was furious, she'd just cry. Now, she was bold enough to talk sarcastically!
"Theo, I don't care about you anymore. Why do you keep showing up in front of me? Don't you realize how ridiculous you look?" Elyse sneered.
"Who put those words in your mouth? Jayden, I bet."
Seeing Theo grow more paranoid, a crazy idea suddenly crossed Elyse's mind.
She blinked and asked cautiously, "Are you actually in love with me?" Theo was taken back. He instinctively took a few steps back and stared
at her.
He wanted to call her conceited. How could he be in love with her? He just thought she was okay
and had gotten used to having her around, so he figured he could let her e back to him. Dist Show
However, Theo found himself unable to utter those words.
There was a voice inside urging him to make a move. He had to tell her the truth! He had to tell her
how he felt!
Theo clenched his fists and wore a grim expression. "How could I ever fall in love with you?" he retorted.
Elyse sneered.
It made sense. No matter how wild he could have been, he couldn't possibly love her.
"Theo, where are you?" a woman's voice called out, searching for him.
The voice was familiar to Elyse. She remembered the woman from the
parking garage of the mall they visited recently.
"Quick, get going. Your date's searching for you," she told Theo, urging him to go.
Theo glanced at her without saying anything. Then he opened the door and left.
'As soon as he was gone, Elyse leaned on the back of a chair, her body weak. She felt a bit
lightheaded.
Reaching for the dessert on the table, she took a bite. Her thoughts were consumed with Jayden.
Why hasn't he returned yet?
"Mrs. Owen, it's time," Driscoll said as he opened the door.
"Where's Jayden?" Elyse asked, setting down her dessert.

"I haven't been able to reach him. His phone is off," Driscoll replied. "I've asked Dr. Ellis for help.
Please don't worry."
Elyse shook her head. "I'm okay. Nothing can go wrong today."
This party was organized by Jayden. He had invited many influential figures. Even if he wasn't there, Elyse, as his wife, needed to keep the party going.
When Elyse appeared in her evening gown and pearl crown, she captured everyone's attention. "Is that Mr. Owen's wife? Didn't they say he didn't love her?NôvelDrama.Org © content.
dress isn't cheap."
"Those are just rumors. Just like when someone spread gossip about Jayden mistreating his wife,
it seems like jealousy is at play here for having married such a beautiful spouse."
"But why isn't Jayden here? Where is he?"
"Yes, I didn't see him either. The party has started,"
Peyton and a few other guys were calling Jayden from a corner of
celebration hall.
Peyton's frustration showed. "Jayden's lost it. Why's he busy elsewhere during his wife's birthday
party? His phone's off!"
Despite Jayden's absence, the party continued.

But when it was time for dancing, Jayden's absence was noticeable.
According to the original plan, Jayden would be seated in a wheelchair while Elyse danced around
him.
If they skipped this part, it would bee evident that Jayden wasn't present.
The party was for Elyse's birthday, so if Jayden wasn't there, did that mean Elyse wasn't important to him?
Driscoll found himself in a bind.
However, Elyse remained incredibly calm.
She had anticipated this, just like when Theo abandoned her at their wedding, and now Jayden had deserted her at her birthday party.
As the murmurs around her grew louder, with everyone speculating about whether Jayden loved
her.
At this moment, someone holding a glass of wine approached and smiled. "Mrs. Owen, it's been a while. Why haven't I seen your husband around?"
