NovelApexChapter 1825:
Jayden noted, “As long as she’s around, he could withstand any harsh words or hard slaps.”
Peyton darted into the distance, exhaling deeply with relief.
He pressed his back against the wall, his voice barely above a whisper. “Jayden and Elyse truly have
extraordinary perception. Nothing ever escapes their watchful eyes.”
The question that troubled his mind was how Jayden had gained such insight into his personal preferences. He
had always harbored an attraction to women like Aileen, with her enchanting innocence and curvaceous figure.
After steadying himself, Peyton reclaimed his characteristic detachment, his features settling into their usual
reserved expression. He blended effortlessly into the gathering, his eyes methodically scanning the room for
Aileen. She had promised to celebrate his birthday by his side—so where had she vanished to?
Following a meticulous search, he finally located her.
She was concealed behind a massive pillar, her gaze fixed intently on Clive and his date. Peyton immediately
recognized the woman as Clive’s sister. Their familial bond explained their proximity as they exchanged hushed
words, creating an impression of intimacy that might mislead an uninformed observer.
Peyton studied Aileen’s face, realizing she had misunderstood the situation entirely.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis misinterpretation didn’t concern him; he would ease her troubled thoughts. He approached with silent
footsteps behind her, his voice gentle against her ear. “Does seeing Clive with another woman distress you?”
Aileen startled, her body tensing before recognizing Peyton. A flurry of emotions crossed her face as she nodded
reluctantly. “Yes,” she admitted softly.
“If it troubles you so deeply,” Peyton suggested, “why not simply ask him about her identity instead of torturing
yourself with speculation?”

Aileen’s lips tightened with displeasure. “I'm your future wife, yet you're encouragingto approach another
man. Do you truly desire this marriage?” Her gaze deliberately avoided his, her mouth forming a pronounced
pout.
Peyton responded with measured patience. “It’s precisely because | intend to marry you that I'm urging you to
speak with Clive. Semotional entanglements require immediate resolution rather than prolonged
uncertainty. Wouldn't you agree?”
Aileen hesitated, her confidence faltering. “I can’t possibly do that—I'm far too intimidated.”
At that precise moment, Clive, who had been conversing with his sister, noticed the pair hiding behind the pillar.
He approached quietly, his voice startling them both. “What are you talking about?”
Aileen jumped once more, hastily seeking refuge behind Peyton at Clive’s approach.
