?Chapter 1833:


    Jayden descended the stairs, freshly changed, and was caught off guard by the presence of his unexpected guest. “What are you doing here?”


    Theo lounged on the sofa, d in a gray sweater. He epted a cup of ck tea from Driscoll, his smile subtle but present. “It’s been a while, Jayden.”


    Already in a sour mood, Jayden felt his annoyance intensify upon seeing Theo. He settled into a chair, his expression dark as a storm. “What do you want?”


    “Is it so strange I came to see Elyse?” Theo replied, his toneced with mischief.


    The frown on Jayden’s face deepened. “Do you want me to throw you out?”


    Theo’sughter was low and soft. “That might not be wise. I’ve got some crucial information for you. You’d regret it if you sent me away.”


    Jayden scoffed. “You’re that sure of yourself?”


    As they exchanged words, Elyse, now dressed, paused at the foot of the stairs. Surprised to see Theo, she asked, “What are you doing here? I thought your startup had you buried.”


    “Just took a short break to reconnect with some old friends,” Theo exined, then turned his attention back to Jayden. “Ready for a chat?”


    Confusion clouded Elyse’s face as she looked at Jayden.


    Jayden toyed with the ring on his finger. After a significant pause, he stood. “Alright. I’ll hear you out.”


    He strode toward the study, with Theo trailing behind.


    As Theo walked past her, Elyse whispered, “What’s happening?”


    “It’s all under control,” Theo assured her with a swift nce.


    He quickened his step to keep up with Jayden.

    Elyse’s anxiety flickered, but she chose to remain silent, sinking onto the sofa to wait. Her phone rang shortly after. It was Peyton, extending an invite for drinks.


    “Got some time off again?” Elyse queried.


    “Yeah. Brought on some sharp new doctors, so things are looking up. How about drinks? A bit of downtime?”


    “Why not spend your break with Aileen?” Elyse probed.


    Peyton’s tone bristled with frustration. “That stupid woman? I’d rather not. We’re not on the best terms right now.”


    Elyse chuckled. “Did you two have a fight?”<fn672d> Get full chapters from find?novel</fn672d>


    “Not exactly a fight, she just irritated me more than I can handle right now.” Peyton managed a chuckle before revisiting his initial invitation. “So, are you and Jayden up for tonight?”


    “I’ll check inter. Jayden is caught up at the moment,” Elyse replied, casting a nce toward the study.


    “Got it,” said Peyton, and then he ended the call.


    An hourter, the study door swung open.


    Theo stepped out, a grin ying on his lips at the sight of Elyse’s anxious face. “Worried about me or him?”


    Looking past him, Elyse saw Jayden, his demeanor peaceful. He didn’t seem upset.


    Her confusion deepened. Had Jayden finally let go of his anger toward Theo? Had he really grown this tolerant?


    “What are you looking at?” Jayden teased. “Finally realizing your husband is the best-looking man around?”
