Chapter 1798:
Shaun's face flushed with anger, though he clearly didn’t dare strike back. “Look, I'm in love with you, but could
you at least treatlike a person and not a punching bag?”
“I've got to get my licks in now,” Tracy shot back. “Or I might not get the chance later.”
“What? Don’t say things like that!” Shaun exclaimed, his voice tinged with panic. “When I'm back on my feet,

catch up with us,” Peyton explained. “Jayden is tied up in a meeting, but how about you joinin the
meantime?”
Elyse’s face broke into a warm smile as she agreed without hesitation. “Sounds good to me.”
“Just letchange real quick,” Peyton said. “Clive has been so swamped; he hasn't even had a spare minute to
shoot the breeze.”
“I'd wager he’s raking it in hand over fist,” Elyse remarked with a chuckle.
“Oh, he’s swimming in dough,” Peyton said, a hint of jealousy lacing his tone as he weighed Clive’s family
fortune against his own hard-earned doctor's wages.
They strolled into the restaurant, and as luck would have it, ran smack into Clive.
