Chapter 200 Not As Close As People Think
Jayden caught sight of Elyse's guilty expression, He beckoned her over with a curl of his finger anda stern tone. "Come here."
She nervously nibbled on her lip, hesitating to comply.
"You don't want to2" Jayden's brow furrowed as he spoke.
Elyse reluctantly took small steps forward. But before she could fully reach him, Jayden swiftly pulled her onto the bed.
"Oh my!" In the next moment, Jayden's lips met hers in a passionate kiss.
His touch ignited a fire within her, his hands exploring her with purpose. Gradually, she succumbed to his advances.
Jayden noticed her demeanor shift to compliance, allowing him to take liberties. His hand ventured southward, finding its mark between her thighs.
Familiar with her sensitive spots, he elicited a moan with only a few skilled movements.
Her voice was a delicate melody in his arms.
However, Jayden had no intention of satiating her desires so easily. A mischievous glint sparkled in his eyes as he withdrew his hand,
casually wiping it clean before saying, "I nearly forgot you have plans. Can't have you being late because of me."
Left wanting, Elyse squirmed uncomfortably, her desire unfulfilled.
Unable to ignore the yearning within her, she squirmed and said in an aggrieved tone, "I feel
uncomfortable."
Jayden leaned in, planting a tender kiss on her forehead. His voice husky, he reassured her, "I understand, but you will have to wait. I'll make it up to you tonight."
Baffled by Jayden's abrupt change in behavior, she struggled to comprehend his motives.
After managing to push aside her desires, she made her way downstairs for breakfast. Suddenly, realization struck her like a bolt of lightning.
He had been toying with her all along!
Fuming with frustration, she slammed her hand on the table and declared defiantly, "Not a
chance! I won't give in to your demands!"
Driscoll paused mid-pour, sensing tension in the air. What was going
on? Did they quarrel again?
After hastily finishing her breakfast, Elyse stormed off to the set, her frustration palpable.
Tracy's debut performance was in a TV show, where she played the supporting actress. Though her screen time was limited, she often shared scenes with the protagonist.
This made her nervous.
By the time Elyse arrived, Tracy had completed her makeup and was fervently reciting her lines on a small stool.
"Tracy, I brought you some coffee." Elyse approached with a steaming cup.
Looking up with a wry smile, Tracy admitted, "I'm a bundle of nerves. We are about to kick off
filming, and despite attending acting classes for ten days, I fear I won't measure up."
< Sitting beside Tracy, Elyse passed her the coffee. "Don't be nervous. It's natural to strive for perfection. That's why you are feeling the pressure."
Tracy took a sip and admitted, "I wish I could shake it off, but it's an old habit of mine that's hard to break."
"Hey, I'll always be here with you." After Elyse consoled Tracy for a bit, Tracy suddenly got the cue to start shooting. Tracy set aside the script and made her way out.
Seated in the chair, Elyse gazed at Tracy, who stood nearby, attentively listening to the director's instructions. A sigh escaped Elyse's lips.
It hadn't been long since Tracy had adorned herself in a wedding gown. Despite her stunning appearance, she was still abandoned. Thankfully, that chapter was behind her now.
Tracy was stepping into a new, promising future.
After waiting patiently all morning for Tracy to wrap up her work, the pair finally headed out to have lunch prepared for the crew.Famished, Tracy wasted no time and took a hearty bite of her food.
Seeing Tracy's voracious appetite, Elyse slid some meat into her lunchbox, saying, "Dig in, Tracy. You still have to shoot this afternoon."
Tracy nodded appreciatively between mouthfuls. "The director keeps praising my performance, saying I improve with every scene. I'm really hitting my stride now. Afternoon filming starts around three or four. If you are in a rush, feel free to head back. No need to wait for me."
Elyse shook her head firmly. "I promised to stay with you for the day. I'm not going anywhere."
Taking another bite, Tracy casually asked, "Won't your husband mind if you stay out late?" Elyse pondered for a moment, thinking of Jayden's recent hectic schedule. She shook her head and replied, "No, he won't mind. He has
been busy with work lately. Staying out a bit longer won't bother him."
Perplexed, Tracy tilted her head and asked, "But isn't he in a wheelchair? What's keeping him so
busy? Shouldn't he have plenty of time to spend with you?"
Aheavy silence followed before Elyse slowly shook her head
Sensing Elyse's somber mood, Tracy asked carefully, "Did you two have a spat? Haven't you been getting along lately?"
Elyse sighed heavily, her appetite waning. "No, it's not that. It's just... Something feels off between us. Maybe we are not as close as people think."
