Chapter 929:
Elyse felt slightly uncomfortable and corrected him, “It’s Fiona, not a fan.”
Jayden showed little interest and simply grunted in response, falling silent again. The atmosphere grew tense.
Unable to bear the awkwardness, Elyse asked Fiona, “Did you chere to seeor Jayden?”
Fiona gazed longingly at Jayden. When she saw his indifference, she pressed her lips together and answered
hesitantly, “You.”
Elyse was speechless; she didn’t truly believe that Fiona had cspecifically for her. Still, she patiently
inquired, “What did you want to tell me?”

word.

Elyse was taken aback, her mind racing to grasp what Fiona was proposing. Puzzled, she asked, “Why do you
want to compete with me?”
Fiona grew slightly impatient. “I just do. Are you in or not?”
Elyse hesitated and glanced at Jayden. “Is that okay?”
Jayden looked down, considering her question. “If you decide to take her up on it, I'll accompany you. After the
competition, I'll bring you home.”
With Jayden’s approval, Elyse agreed. She picked a small park nearby that was quiet and free of passersby to
ensure they wouldn't be disturbed. Fiona followed them silently, clearly noticing how attentive Jayden was
toward Elyse.
Caught up in her thoughts, Fiona unexpectedly slipped and tumbled to the ground. The ground was icy, making it
extremely slippery.
Jayden was diligently looking out for Elyse, aiming to prevent her from falling. Upon hearing the noise, the two in
front turned around simultaneously to see Fiona on the ground.

Elyse inquired, “Are you okay?”
Fiona, not wanting Elyse to think less of her, gritted her teeth and forced herself to stand. “I'm fine. It's nothing
serious.”
Elyse was somewhat concerned, but Jayden reassured her, “She said she’s fine, so don’t worry about it.
Concentrate on yourself. You might have fallen if | hadn’t been cautious.”
Elyse shot Jayden a glare before continuing to walk ahead.
Fiona remained silent, her gaze filled with resentment as she watched Jayden. The pain from her fall was severe,
but in Jayden’s presence, she refused to show any weakness, insisting on her bravado.
Deep down, she wished Jayden would show her the sconcern he showed Elyse. The more Fiona dwelled on
it, the more wronged she felt. She couldn't help but question what made Elyse so special that Jayden was so
devoted to her.
