EuropeNovelChapter 730:
Rolling his eyes, Edward scoffed, “You don’t care? You cared enough to watch him leave with someone else. You
need to stop deceiving yourself. He's already with another woman. You have to move on, Elyse.”
For a moment, Elyse simply pursed her lips and said nothing.
Edward's concern deepened. “You're not still hung up on him, are you? Why would you want to waste your tears
on a jerk? Since he has gone after another woman, you should also find someone else!”
Edward, puffing out his chest, proclaimed, “I'm prepared to make a sacrifice for my best friend. Cshare my
bed!”
Whenever Edward said such things, Elyse wanted to punch him. Controlling her frustration, she replied, “Stop
joking. Go sleep alone.”

“Cand share my bed. We'll drive your ex-husband wild,” Edward provocatively suggested, noticing Elyse
regain her energy.
As he spoke, he extended his hands and moved closer.
Elyse reacted with a scream of horror and punched Edward squarely in the chest.
“You punched my chest muscles. They must be bruised!” Edward exclaimed, clutching his chest and wincing in
pain.

Then, he began to unbutton his shirt. “Letshow you. If they're bruised, you'll have to stay,” he insisted.
“Go to hell, you bastard!” Elyse shouted, unable to tolerate his behavior. She kicked him, turned, and stormed

Jayden and Aarya left the banquet hall and settled into the car, riding in silence. Traffic halted as they
approached an intersection, leaving them at a standstill.
Feeling claustrophobic in the confined space, Jayden loosened his tie and retrieved a cigarette from the
compartment.
“I remember my dad saying you didn’t smoke. Why are you smoking now?” Aarya asked with a faint smile.
Jayden exhaled a cloud of smoke, his face expressionless. “You don't like it?” he asked. “Sorry, | won't smoke
anymore.” With that, he stubbed out the cigarette.
“I didn’t mean to stop you,” Aarya explained, gently taking his hand. “If you want to smoke, it's okay with me.”
“I don’t want to do anything that upsets you,” Jayden said softly, patting her hand.
Aarya felt reassured and touched by his consideration. Seeing him go out of his way to show affection felt good.
However, the thought of the woman from the banquet sparked an unexplained anger within her.
She clung to Jayden’s arm, her red-nailed fingers brushing against his chest.

“Do you know the woman from the banquet?” she asked softly, leaning in.
“Who?” Jayden responded absentmindedly, looking out the window.
“The one who argued with me. Do you know her?” Aarya probed, still smiling.
“Yes. Why, are you jealous?” Jayden admitted straightforwardly.
Surprised by his openness, Aarya asked, “Who is she to you?”
“No matter who she is, you're my girlfriend now. You're the most important,” Jayden reassured her, taking her
hand in his.
Aarya’s smile widened, and she hugged him tighter.
But as a Hudson woman, doubt was part of her nature. She couldn't shake off the nagging suspicions about the
sincerity of Jayden’s affection.
