NovelApexChapter 1823:
As they contemplated this peculiar decorative theme, Clive appeared accompanied by a woman in an elegant
black gown, who looked distinctly uncomfortable.
Elyse, her curiosity piqued, asked directly, “Is this your romantic partner?”
Clive glanced briefly at the woman. “She’s actually my sister, though she possesses the temperament of a man.”
His sister exhaled with exasperation, rolling her eyes tically. “You mentioned your friend's birthday
celebration. | naturally presumed your friend was male. | dressed formally for the occasion. You never specified it
was a female friend. | would have selected entirely different attire.”
After a moment of awkward silence, Clive responded wearily, “My friend is indeed male.”
His sister's expression transformed into utter astonishment. “Your male friend appreciates these... frilly
decorations? Unbelievable!”
Clive stood speechless, unable to formulate a response.
Chloe wandered away in search of refreshments.
Jayden turned toward Elyse. “Aren’t you hungry?”
Elyse swirled the wine in her glass contemplatively. “I'm more intrigued by understanding the evolution of

Peyton sighed, his face marked by a trace of helplessness. “I mentioned the idea of hosting a birthday party to
Aileen casually, and she seized the opportunity to help organize it. Little did | know she'd opt for such a
charming theme.”
Elyse watched Peyton's face, clearly amused. “She swapped your rugged party thfor something sweet, and
you aren't upset?”
Peyton answered, “Isn't it obvious I'm seething?”
Elyse shot a puzzled look at Jayden, questioning whether Peyton was genuinely angry.
Jayden slung his arm around Peyton’s shoulders and leaned in for a quiet word. “You're still clinging to your
stubborn ways?”
Peyton played dumb. “Stubborn about what?”
Jayden chuckled. “Stop inventing stories about me. You're simply another man with common tastes.”
Peyton persisted. “Stop fabricating
