Chapter 118 I'm Willing To Marry You Elyse had a negative impression of the Foster family. With evident displeasure, she said, "I don't want to talk to you. Please leave." Kieran responded with an apologetic tone, "Ms. Lloyd, I understand your anger. I've heard about what Joanna has done. I'm here to offer an apology on behalf of the Foster family. I hope you can forgive and forget." Elyse scoffed. "Forgive and forget? Your family knew I'm Jayden's wife, yet you pushed Joanna to get between our marriage. She even hadkidnapped and causedgreat suffering. How can you expect forgiveness?" Kieran pulled a box from his pocket and opened it to reveal a pink diamond bracelet, which he placed on the bedside table.
Elyse eyed it warily and demanded, "What is this supposed to mean?" "I know no gift can undo the pain you've endured," Kieran began. "But we want to make amends however we can." "Make amends? You think a bracelet can compensate for everything. your family has done?" Elyse was incredulous, seeing the gesture as an insult.
Kieran, laden with guilt, continued, "The Foster family is facing a critical situation. Perhaps it explains-but does not excuse-Joanna's impulsive actions." Then he made a bold request. "I know it seems unfair, but I must ask if you would consider stepping down as Jayden's wife. The stability and status of my family depends on Joanna's marriage with Jayden." Elyse thought she had misheard and burst out laughing in disbelief. "Are you serious?" Kieran nodded earnestly. "As compensation, I'm willing to marry you."< Stunned, Elyse couldn't believe what she was hearing. Why would he think she would ever agree to marry him? Kieran, looking uncomfortable, explained, "Though your family is not well-known, I am prepared to accept you and make you my only wife, if you relinquish your current position." Elyse, taken aback, asked, "You think you're making a sacrifice?" Kieran responded, "I am able-bodied, which is more than can be said for Jayden." He then leaned in and whispered in her ear, "I can also provide more pleasure than Jayden ever could." Elyse's expression turned to one of shock as she pushed him away. "Shon you." Kieran replied innocently, "This is the best solution I can offer. Don't be too greedy." Amused and annoyed, Elyse retorted, "Greedy You guys are the greedy ones. Don't push your luck" Seeing her disgusted expression, Kieran hesitated. "So we're not in agreement?" Glancing at the bracelet on the bedside table, Elyse snapped, "Take your thing and leave. I don't want to see you anymore." Kieran shrugged, picked up the bracelet, and said with regret, "What a pity! I can't believe you're refusing me." He slid a business card across to her and murmured, "But I'm still willing to wait for you." "Get out." Her gaze was icy. She wished she could physically eject Kieran from the room.
He left quietly, and Elyse tore the card up and tossed it into the trash.
When Jayden reentered the ward, he found Elyse visibly upset on the bed. Raising an eyebrow, he inquired, "What's got you down?" Elyse's expression darkened further. "Kieran Foster was here just now." Jayden was taken aback. The next head of the Foster family?
