?Chapter 1805:


    Peyton’s sharp, maic eyes studied her through his gold-rimmed sses, his gaze unwavering.


    Perhaps due to her current position, Peyton had an unobstructed view of her cleavage.


    The woman startled under his analytical stare. She instinctively recoiled slightly, seeking safety closer to Clive.


    Clive noticed her sudden difort and looked up to discover Peyton. His brow furrowed with displeasure. “You’ve frightened the very person who just came to my aid,” he said, irritation evident in his tone. “Apologize to her immediately.”


    Peyton stopped scrutinizing the young woman. He crouched down and gazed at Clive with curiosity. “She helped you? What happened? You seem fine to me.”


    The young woman said softly, “He’s just experiencing a drop in his blood sugar. He’s resting here until he feels better.”


    Peyton asked, “What’s your name?”


    The young woman was frightened by his aura and quietly edged closer to Clive.


    Clive looked somewhat exasperated. “You’re intimidating her. Her name is Aileen Lawrence. Please be kind to her if you encounter her again. She’s genuinely kind-hearted.”


    At Clive’s praise, Aileen’s cheeks turned pink. She peeked at Peyton with her wide, expressive eyes when he looked away.


    “Oh… so you are Aileen Lawrence,” Peyton said in a strange tone.


    Clive also cast a few curious nces at him.


    Peyton helped Clive to his feet and suggested, “Let’s go back to the room. The food is already served. Eat a bit more, and you’ll stop feeling lightheaded.”


    Aileen got up too, then said hesitantly, “Mr. Yates, what should we do with the candies?”


    With a smile, Clive responded, “Thank you. Just tuck them into my pocket. I’ll munch on a few candies if I skip a meal.”


    Aileen’s face lit up at his words, her cheeks rosy with a smile. Clive then asked, “Did youe here with any friends? If you’re by yourself, you’re wee to join us.”

    Aileen responded shyly, “I’m here with friends. If we bump into each other again, can I treat you to a meal?”


    Clive gently patted her head, and his voice softened as he answered, “You helped me, so I owe you a dinner.”


    Aileen grew quiet, her cheeks deeply flushed. She toyed with the hem of her clothes, wanting to ask for Clive’s contact details but was too shy to go through with it.


    Meanwhile, she didn’t realize that Peyton was watching her closely. His eyes wandered, appreciating her slender waist and sexy figure. She was the one his family…


    Elyse had wanted him to be paired with her. She was exactly his type; however, she seemed rather na?ve. Peyton adjusted his sses and said, “Alright, enough talking. Let’s head back for dinner.” He led Clive away. As he turned, he caught sight of Aileen’s disappointed look. Then he gazed thoughtfully at Clive.


    Feeling ufortable under that gaze, Clive asked, “Why are you looking at me like that?”
