?Chapter 1855:


    Instantly, Jayden’s face drained of color. He murmured, “If we lose the baby, I don’t think she can withstand that.”


    Theo pressed on. “I understand you vanished to divert attention from your target, but think about what’s at stake. Elyse matters, doesn’t she? And the child she’s carrying? If they truly mean anything to you, you need to go back. See Elyse immediately. Don’t let her worry about you; she’s terrified.”


    Jayden stood, hesitating only briefly. “But the Fosters…”


    Theo let out augh. “Jayden, do you really think you’re the only one who can take down the Fosters?”


    He smirked and added, “I was onto their schemes before you, setting my ns in motion. Your absence was unexpected, but make no mistake, I have what it takes to dismantle Kieran entirely.”


    Jayden raised an eyebrow, skepticism evident in his voice. “Are you really being this altruistic?”


    Theo noticed Jayden hesitating, so he yed his trump card. “Actually, before I came here, I mentally prepared myself. I thought that if you didn’t go straight back to Elyse, I’d let Kieran know where you are, then return to Elyse myself to take your ce.”


    He paused, his gaze fixed on Jayden. “So, are you going to give me a chance?”


    Jayden’s smirk was tinged with contempt. “Provocations like this usually don’t affect me, but since you mentioned Elyse… Damn, I knew you were still after my woman. You don’t deserve to be her husband; I’m the only one who does!”


    With those words, he shoved Theo forcefully with his shoulder and left the cabin without a backward nce.


    Theo ran his tongue over his teeth, listening to the fading roar of Jayden’s car as it disappeared into the night.

    Turning slowly, he looked out at the full moon and whispered, “Elyse, this is what you taught me. I’m striving to be as gentle and kind-hearted as you wanted me to be.”


    That night, Theo stayed alone in the cabin, returning to the city just before the break of dawn.


    Determined to shield Elyse, he resolved to thwart anyone who threatened her tranquility. This mission, Theo believed, was his sole purpose concerning Elyse, and he intended to fulfill it better than anyone else could.


    He imagined Elyse’s joyous smile returning once his task wasplete. The mere thought of her smile brought a spontaneous grin to his own face.


    Early in the morning, Elyse woke from her sleep feeling an unusual anxiety, likely spurred by a nightmare.


    She extended her hand to Jayden’s side of the bed, only to find the sheets cold and empty.<fnbb7e> Th?s chapter is updated by Find_Novel(.</fnbb7e>


    As her senses sharpened, she slowly opened her eyes to the vacant space beside her, a swell of sadness and resentment growing within her.


    Quietly, she pulled her hand back and shut her eyes against the difort. At that moment, a hand gently touched her forehead, and Jayden’s voice softly broke the silence. “Seems like you have a bit of a fever.”


    Elyse looked up in surprise to find Jayden’s familiar face. “You’re back…” she whispered.


    Noticing her somber expression, he tenderly held her face and soothed her. “I’m sorry, I’ve messed up again.”
