Chapter 741:
Jayden saw Elyse’s expression twist into one of disgust. He gently caressed her hair. “I'll... find a different tto
cover.”
Elyse reacted sharply and violently. “You must be crazy!” she said and shoved Jayden back forcefully. She leaned
against the wall, her breathing uneven and shallow.
Overcwith emotion, Elyse burst into deep sobs.
“Bastard! Why must you torment me? Do you seeas sthrowaway plaything?”
Elyse hid her face in her hands, weeping. Gradually, her legs gave way, and she crumpled to the floor, crying
without restraint.
Just then, a patron approached the restroom and paused upon hearing Elyse’s distressed cry.

Initially, the patron thought Elyse would calm down after a while and decided to wait. After ten minutes,
however, Elyse was still crying just as hard.
With no alternative, the patron summoned the staff.
David hurried over to assess the situation and instantly recognized the person curled up on the floor. “Elyse!” he
cried out, reaching out to her. “My dear friend, what has upset you so?”
Hearing a known voice, Elyse raised her head. Her gaze locked with David's as he stood over her. “Why are you
here?” she stammered.
“I work here,” David explained, squatting beside her. “Whenever I'm not off duty, you're likely to findaround
if you cby.” Noticing her swollen, tearstained eyes, he pulled out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed
it to her.

“A patron just toldthere has been a lady weeping near the restroom for quite stime,” David said with his
eyes wide. “She said the restroom might flood with tears, so she askedto help sort it out.”
Elyse’s expression stiffened and tears welled up in her eyes again. At that moment, she felt torn between
releasing her emotions and holding them back.
David couldn't help but chuckle as he watched Elyse bravely try to stop her tears. “Perhaps we could take our
little weeping session elsewhere? That lady really needs to use the restroom.”
A mix of embarrassment and distress washed over Elyse as she bent her head. She slowly got up and leaned on
the nearby wall for support.
David noticed her stiff legs and teased, “Legs gone numb?”
Elyse nodded as tears still ran down her cheeks.

David's laughter grew louder.
Following David, she settled down by the window. He kindly brought her a complimentary hot chocolate and
asked with sincere interest, “What made you cry?”
Sniffling, Elyse shared the details of her run-in with Jayden.
As she spoke, a wave of empathy washed over David. “Your ex-husband is an absolute cad. He has no respect for
you and treats you like you're just an object to him.”
Elyse nodded vigorously, feeling a sting from his words as they touched a tender spot.
“Don’t put men on a pedestal,” David advised with sincerity. “There's no perfect man out there, myself included.
| have my flaws too.”
He paused for a moment then continued, “But you're different. You're like an angel, spreading hope and
happiness. Don’t let any man take away your beautiful smile.”
His words struck a chord with Elyse. She wiped away her tears, but her voice still carried a trace of sadness.
