Chapter 783

Chapter 783:

After placing her order, Elyse chose a quiet corner to sit alone. She had just taken a bite of her burger when

Fiona unexpectedly sat down across from her, tray in hand.

Elyse looked up, confused. “What are you doing? This is my table.”

Fiona glanced around the restaurant impatiently. “There are no other seats available. Can't | sit here?”

Annoyed but unwilling to cause a scene, Elyse decided to let it go. She felt frustrated but couldn't bring herself

to chase Fiona away.

Fiona noticed Elyse’s glare and snapped, “Stop looking atlike that. I'll leave as soon as I'm done eating. It's

not like | enjoy sitting with you. | can’t stand you either.”

Elyse snorted. “Good. We're not the type to sit and eat together, so don’t get too close.”

Fiona bit back her irritation and continued eating her burger. Halfway through, she suddenly asked, “Are you and

Jayden on the outs? Why hasn't he cto see you?”

Elyse’s eyebrows raised as she responded sarcastically, “Why haven't you given up yet? Still dreaming of

becoming Jayden’s wife?”

Fiona shot back, “Why should I give up? Everyone knows how | feel about him. Just answer my question.”

Elyse sipped her cola, her mind wandering to Jayden and Aarya. Aarya’s possessiveness over Jayden bordered on

obsession. If Elyse revealed that she and Jayden were divorced, Fiona would almost certainly seize the

opportunity to chase after him. But if Aarya discovered Fiona’s intentions...

There was no predicting what lengths Aarya might go to in order to protect her claim on Jayden.

Elyse, with Fiona’s safety in mind, chose not to disclose her recent divorce from Jayden.

“Jayden’s buried in work, and I'm tied up with competitions. Just because we're not seen together much, does

that make you think we're estranged?”

A shadow of disappointment passed over Fiona’'s face. Seeing this, Elyse managed a forced smile and said, “It

seems you're upset we haven't fallen out. Are you planning to pursue him in our disagreement?”

Fiona gave Elyse a frosty stare. “Since you've already figured it out, why state the obvious?”

Elyse found it hard to have a nice talk with Fiona. It was as though Fiona had morphed into someone entirely

unrecognizable. Struggling to grasp the transformation, Elyse pondered silently why love had changed Fiona so

profoundly.

Distractedly munching on her burger, Elyse was oblivious to the scheming expression that flickered across

Fiona's face.

“By the way, did Gavin ever mention who the competitor stirring up trouble during the contest is?” Fiona asked,

her tone casual but probing.

Without even glancing at Fiona, Elyse responded with a hint of impatience, “If you're so curious, why don’t you

ask him directly? Don’t botherwith it; I'm not involved.”

Fiona persisted, probing further, “Hasn't he mentioned anything? He's been on this case for a while now, right?”

Visibly annoyed, Elyse looked up sharply and retorted, “I don’t care who's responsible. Why would | inquire? If

you're so curious, go ask him yourself.”

Fiona gave a strained smile. “Gavin and | aren't exactly close. He wouldn't share anything with me.”

Elyse’s expression turned into a frown. “But you asked him to help you with your practice, right? You weren't

close back then either.”
