NovelEnglishChapter 229:
After saying that coldly, Elyse left without a backward glance. Mabel watched Elyse’s departing figure and cried
out in frustration, a helpless release of her anger.
Elyse, unfazed, heard Mabel’s curses fading behind her. Disappointment in her family had been growing for some
time. She exited the building and spotted Jayden in his wheelchair, casually smoking a cigarette and flicking his
fingers in her direction. To Elyse, his gesture seemed akin to summoning a pet. She hurried over, puzzled, and
asked, “Why are you here to pickup?”
Jayden lifted his eyes, took her hand, and gave it a squeeze. “We received an anonymous package at home
today; it’s addressed to you.”
Elyse’s confusion deepened. “A package for me? What's inside?”
“A ruby necklace,” Jayden replied, pausing before adding with a hint of jealousy, “The card said it was a late
birthday gift.”
Elyse was taken aback. “A birthday gift?” She recalled that her birthday had indeed passed a few days ago, but
the rigorous rehearsal and upcoming national tour had made her forget.

fault. | should have been more thoughtful than a stranger.”
Once in the car, she responded calmly, “We've never discussed these things. It's understandable that you didn’t
know about my birthday.”

As she spoke, her mood dampened. Their relationship had begun abruptly; unlike other couples, they had not
experienced a romantic phase before marrying. Many moments had slipped by unnoticed for them. They had
never allowed each other to see their vulnerabilities.
“Like an untouched path stretching before them, they had miles to tread and depths to explore,” Jayden declared
firmly. “I'm going to organize a birthday party for you soon. | want to tell everyone you are my wife.”
Elyse was lost in thought. After a moment, she regained her focus and responded softly, “Let’s hold off for a few
days. The first stop of the tour is the day after tomorrow, and | don’t want any distractions.”
Jayden frowned, pondered for a moment, then reluctantly agreed, “Alright, I'll make it up to you after that.”
Elyse remained silent, gazing out of the window. Jayden felt a surge of irritation as he observed her quiet
demeanor. They hadn't argued recently, yet he sensed that Elyse was unhappy. They seemed less connected
than before.
After they got home, Elyse noticed the package on the table. Inside lay a ruby necklace adorned with diamonds
in the form of a petal. She picked it up, inspected it for a long time, then inquired, “Have you discovered who
sent it?”
“No,” Jayden leaned in and replied. “Whoever it was concealed their identity deliberately. Any idea who it might
be?”
Elyse shook her head. “I'm at a loss. | can’t think of anyone who would senda ruby necklace.”
Jayden rubbed his chin. “The sender has hidden their nintentionally. It seems they don’t want you to know
who they are. Could it have been Theo?”
Elyse quickly dismissed the idea. “Theo? He would never send something so expensive.”
“Was it not Theo?” Jayden still doubted it. His instincts suggested Theo was the sender. Yet he chose to trust
Elyse’s judgment. “Forget it. It's supposed to be a birthday gift. Just accept it.”
After sthought, Elyse carefully placed the necklace in the box. “Okay, I'll take your advice and let it be.”
Jayden moved to the sofa, intending to discuss the party details with Elyse. However, she went upstairs with the
jewelry box, oblivious to his intentions.

she ignorelike this?”
Driscoll, who had observed the entire interaction, offered reassuringly. “Sir, don’t be upset. | believe she simply
didn’t notice you. She was fixated on the necklace.”
He continued, “Whoever sent the gift obviously knows her well and understands her tastes.”
Jayden grew even more irate. “It’s simple to give her something she likes. | can easily choose a gift she'd
appreciate too.”
With a smile, Driscoll remarked, “Since you love her so deeply, you'll surely find the perfect gift for her.”
