NovelEnglishChapter 1669: Anthony handed Elyse a violin case. "I made this one myself. It's not as good as my dad's, but I'm getting better. Next tyou visit, you can trade it for a better one." Elyse's eyes widened before softening into a warm smile. "Thanks, Anthony. This means a lot." He offered a shy but charming smile.

"She actually thought I was going to propose. She had herself all ready, but I was just there to wish her a happy birthday." Elyse burst into laughter. "Guess you'll have to outdo yourself when you actually propose." Anthony chuckled softly. "Don't worry, I'll make it even more special next time." After a brief chat, Elyse and Jayden headed into the airport, ready to board their flight home.
Two days later, they landed and, without adjusting to the tdifference, rushed straight to Shaun's house.
The bodyguards met them at the entrance, their expressions grim. One spoke up, "Shaun's been restless for days. He wouldn't say why. Today, he tried to escape through the window." Stay tuned for more gl.cöm Elyse's eyes widened. "What?" The guard continued, "He didn't get far. We caught him at the back door." Now, Shaun sat inside, tied up, awaiting Jayden's return.
As soon as Jayden stepped inside, he spotted Shaun squirming on the sofa-a sight that might've been comical if it weren't so absurd. Jayden crossed his arms, his tone sharp. "What nonsense are you talking about now?" Elyse stood beside him, concern flickering across her face. “Why are you so stubborn? You always insist on doing everything yourself." Shaun's face remained blank. He closed his eyes, as though dismissing them entirely. Jayden scoffed. "You're not gagged. So what's with the silence?" Elyse's brow furrowed. Something was wrong- this wasn't the Shaun she knew. The tension in the room prickled at her senses, urging caution.

Jayden crouched in front of Shaun, his voice low, tinged with suspicion. "Did you see something-or someone-you weren't supposed to? Like... Tracy?" That struck a nerve. Shaun's eyes snapped open, fierce and defiant, the fire in them impossible to ignore.
The intensity of his gaze made Elyse's heart skip a beat The weight of unspoken truths hung heavy between them, thickening the air.
Shaun no longer carried his usual carefree demeanor. The warmth that once cfrom forgetting his past was gone, replaced by a cold, distant edge-revealing his true nature. Only this hardened version of Shaun could break Tracy's heart.
