Chapter 61 Joanna Was CaughtJayden was incredibly skilled at shutting people upTheo was a possessive man Even though Elyse had left him a part of him would always think of her as his In that vein he would always desire her to a degreeThe only reason why he hadnt acted upon those desires was his belief that Jayden was a cripple which meant that he could never perform his spousal duties with ElyseElyse might be someone elses wife now but her body would always belong to Theo At least Theo thought sownoBeing a man himself Jayden could see through Theos deepest thoughts fairly easily But he had no plans to relay this information to ElyseWhy in the world would heElyse was his wife She was his aloneI heard your mother is on the hunt for your future wife Jayden remarked I must admit that I am rather curious about the kind of woman you deem deserving of the titleTheos hands clenched into fists at his sides He couldnt understand why but he seemed to fly into a rage every time he faced JaydenHe hated feeling this way like he was teetering on the edge and could lose control at any momentOne thing I can say for sure is that she will come from a better background than Elyse Theo retorted before stomping awayElyse said nothing but this time there was a hint of melancholy to her silenceJayden took her hand Everything Theo said is pure and utter bullshit Dont take them to heart All you need to do is trust me okayElyse looked at him and found herself comparing him to a prince from some fairy tale come to save her Hmm I have faith in youThey left shortly after and went homeAs soon as they entered the villa Jayden spotted Vinny Bailey standing quietly on the far side of the living room They made a brief eye contact and then Vinny disappeared into the studyHead upstairs and change Jayden said to Elyse Ill be in the study for a whileShe suspected nothing as Jayden often retired to the study for afternoon tea or a few hours of light readingOkay Ill go to my room thenJayden watched her turn the corner up the stairs before going into the studyMr Owen Vinny greeted him as he sheepishly passed his hand over his bald head Its the first time Ive seen your wife She is quite a sight to behold
