?Chapter 1806:


    Peyton quipped, “Are you really that handsome?”


    Clive retorted, “Elyse always tells you I’m handsome. You’ve never believed her.” Then a thought struck him. “Are you jealous? Thatdy blushed at me, not you. Are you questioning your own appeal?”


    Peyton arched an eyebrow. “Stop with the nonsense. I’ve always been better looking than you.”


    “The matter of who’s more handsome isn’t for us to decide. Elyse is the judge,” Clive countered.


    When they returned to the room, both turned to Elyse and asked, “Who do you think is more handsome, us two?”


    Elyse looked confused. “What’s this about? Why are you asking me such a question?”


    Peyton insisted, “It matters to us. Seriously, who is more handsome?”


    “How am I supposed to answer that?” Elyse nced at Jayden, unsure.


    Jayden set his fork aside and asked, “What’s the fuss about? Has a woman caught your attention?”


    Peyton quickly med Clive. “It’s him. He got captivated by a woman.”


    Clive immediately grew anxious. He faced Elyse and protested, “That’s not true. Peyton’s just talking nonsense.”


    Elyse and Jayden exchanged nces, then asked, “Which woman?” …


    Clive watched Elyse’s expression as he recounted, “My blood sugar crashed moments ago. Thankfully, some youngdy approached and gave me a drink, which really helped me recover.”


    Peyton interjected, “Honestly, Clive, you should look after yourself better. Don’t skip meals just because you’re busy with work.”


    Jayden quirked an eyebrow. “What’s the girl’s name? Is she cute?”


    “Aileen Lawrence,” Clive answered. “She’s quite cute, though she appears rather young.”


    Jayden gave Peyton a meaningful look. “Aileen Lawrence, huh? Seems like someone’s upset. Feeling sorry you didn’t notice her charm earlier?”

    Clive and Elyse just looked at each other, confused.


    Peyton caught the sarcasm in Jayden’s tone. “Stop it!” he snapped. “I didn’t say anything!”


    Jaydenughed. “You may not have spoken, but you’ve said plenty.” He nudged him with his elbow, grinning. “So, what’s your opinion on her? Do you fancy her?”


    Peyton’s face showed a mix of emotions as he looked down at his meal.<fn1c3d> The rightful source is find{n}ovel</fn1c3d>


    Elyse,pletely lost, asked, “Who’s Aileen Lawrence? Why is Peyton reacting this way?”


    “Who else could it be? Peyton’s supposed date,” Jayden replied, still smiling. “What a small world! We were just talking about her, and now here she is. Seems like destiny, doesn’t it, Peyton?”


    Elyse’s eyes grew wide. “Wow. Aileen is attractive. Peyton, are you regretting your earlier pride now?”


    Peyton raised an eyebrow. “Regret? I don’t do regrets.”
