Chapter 193
Being True To Her Feelings
Nestled in Jayden's arms, Elyse was too embarrassed to look up. She chastised herself for nearly letting things go too far with Jayden in the living room. She had to admit, she was becoming more
like him, shamelessly so.
Jayden, with a disapproving look, stared at Driscoll, He was frustrated by the interruption. He was so close to having a moment with Elyse.
Driscoll, although stoic, was sweating nervously. He hadn't wanted to interrupt them. He had even sent the servants out to ensure privacy.
But then, unexpectedly, Kieran and Judy showed up. Driscoll tried persuading them to visit another day, but they stubbornly refused, insisting on seeing Jayden and threatening to camp out
at the entrance if necessary.
Unable to let that happen, Driscoll felt compelled to disturb Jayden.
As Jayden stroked Elyse's hair to comfort her, he said briskly, "Let them i
Once Driscoll left to fetch Kieran and Judy, Elyse sat up, covering her cheeks. She glared at
Jayden and said, "This can't happen again. How embarrassing!"
Raising an eyebrow, Jayden teased her, "Embarrassing? This is our house. Why shouldn't I be free
with my wife?"
His comment made her blush even deeper. As Elyse got up to leave, Jayden pulled her back, holding her close. "Why are you running? Haven't you heard? Judy is here too. Aren't you worried or jealous?"
Caught off guard, Elyse paused. "Why did they come to you?" she asked, puzzled.
Jayden shrugged. "How should I know? I can't make sense of the Foster family."
After a moment's thought, Elyse decided to stay in the living room. Her curiosity piqued. She wondered why Kieran and Judy had come to their house. Was it because of Jayden?
Driscoll reappeared shortly, accompanied by Kieran and Judy, positioning himself discreetly ina corner of the room.
Clad in a black suit, Kieran remained expressionless, his gaze shifting briefly from Elyse to Jayden. In contrast, Judy presented a stark difference.
Dressed in a white slip dress with her hair neatly coiled up, her appearance was delicate and

attractive. Her red, tear-filled eyes rendered her an image of fragility and sorrow.
Upon her entry, she gently called out, "Jayden..." Her tone was sweet yet tinged with sadness. Elyse, nervously adjusting the hem of her blouse, noted Judy's unwavering focus on Jayden. Initially reserved, Judy now made no effort to conceal her emotions. Ignoring her, Jayden directed his attention to Kieran. "What brings you and your sister here?" he inquired.
Kieran, clearly irritated yet maintaining respect, answered, "My apologies for the disturbance, Mr. Owen. It was my sister's insistence on visiting you again that brought us here, despite my reluctance."Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
Jayden, observing Elyse's discomfort, nonchalantly popped a grape into her mouth. "And what's the purpose?" he asked casually.
Kieran, barely managing his annoyance, prompted Judy. "It would be best if you explained your reasons for visiting Mr. Owen. Do it quickly."
Judy's spirits fell as Jayden remained indifferent to her presence.
Tears started to form as she struggled through her words. "Mr. Owen, in the brief time we were

Her body shook slightly as she spoke, as if the emotional burden was too much to bear.
Elyse, overhearing this, turned to Kieran with anger evident in her voice. "You're her brother. Is this how you manage her actions? Allowing her to chase after a married man?"
Kieran, visibly upset, replied sternly, "Mrs. Owen, please be careful with your accusations. My sister is not pursuing Mr. Owen. She has genuinely fallen for your husband. She just opted to openly declare her feelings, not conceal them." He added after a pause, "She isn't making advances. She's simply being true to her feelings."
Elyse looked at him, her face filled with disbelief. She was aware of the Foster family's unconventional views, but she hadn't anticipated their blatant disregard for decorum.
While most women would be embarrassed to be labeled home- wreckers and would keep such actions hidden, the Fosters seemed to openly pursue another woman's husband, even commending her boldness in love. Once more, Elyse found herself taken aback by the Foster family's audacity. Sitting to the side, she was rendered speechless.
