BookToReadChapter 560:
Elyse folded her arms and bit her lower lip, her resolve unyielding in her plan to oust Shaun.
As she considered this, she shot a stern look at Jayden. “You shouldn't have let him stay.”
Jayden responded with composure, “Tracy is his woman.”

His words made Elyse frown. Quick to retort, Elyse said, “Tracy doesn’t want to be with him. She doesn’t belong
to him.”
“But obviously, she hasn't managed to leave him. She tried to escape from his house, yet he easily found her,”
Jayden pointed out.
He then leaned forward and advised Elyse, “I suggest we let them talk. It would be best if they could part ways
amicably.”
After a moment's thought, Elyse found merit in his suggestion and reluctantly consented.
The following day, Tracy didn’t rise until noon. She then strolled into the living room at a leisurely pace.

Upon entering, she noticed a man seated on the sofa, his back to her. Mistaking him for Jayden, she was about to
greet him when he turned around, revealing himself and catching Tracy's frightened gaze.
Shaun regarded Tracy with a gentle expression, disregarding her evident fear. He stood and tried to be gentle.
“Hello, darling. Are you hungry?”
Seeing Shaun made Tracy tremble with fear, and she quickly cried out, “Don’t cnear me! Stay away!”
Noticing Tracy's apprehension, pain flickered in Shaun’s eyes. He reassured her, “Don’t be afraid. I'll stay right
here and won't cany closer.”
Once Tracy felt assured that Shaun would maintain his distance, she settled somewhat. Still cautious, she
inquired, “Where's Elyse?”
“She’s out in the garden. She didn’t know when you'd be up. Should I call her over?” Shaun's demeanor
remained courteous and considerate, yet Tracy recalled how this very gentleman had completely disregarded her
feelings in private.
She involuntarily shivered and looked away, avoiding Shaun's gaze. Without another word, Shaun pursed his lips
and made his way to the garden.
There, Elyse was taking a slow walk, bundled in a heavy coat. She placed her hand gently on her abdomen,
which was not yet visibly rounded.
Driscoll, who was accompanying her, spotted Shaun approaching and promptly alerted her, “Shaun is coming
our way.”
Turning slowly, Elyse asked, puzzled, “What are you doing here?”
Shaun explained, “Tracy is awake. She's in the living room looking for you.” He lingered, making no move to
leave.
Elyse ignored him, brushed past, and hurried towards the living room. Driscoll followed her closely, advising
cautiously, “Please walk slowly. Be mindful of your steps.”
Shaun did not follow; he understood Tracy's desire not to see him and remained in the garden, waiting for her
readiness.
Back in the living room, Driscoll assisted Elyse with her heavy coat.
After shedding her coat, Elyse settled beside Tracy, taking her hand with a look of concern. “Are you all right? Did
Shaun do anything to upset you?”
“No, he didn’t do anything,” Tracy responded, her eyes filling with tears. “I'm terribly hungry. My stomach is
growling. Could someone please makescakes?”

Relieved, Elyse replied, “Absolutely.”
She caught Driscoll’s eye, who smiled reassuringly and made his way to the kitchen. “They'll be ready in no
time. You won't have to wait long,” Elyse assured her gently.
Tracy nodded, her gaze drifting anxiously toward the living room door. “Why is Shaun here? Does he intend to
takeback?”
Elyse didn’t conceal the truth. “He mentioned he wants to talk to you.”
Disbelief widened Tracy's eyes. In her view, Shaun had always been a tyrant, never heeding her cries or
considering her feelings.
After a pause, she voiced her suspicion. “Is this just a scheme? Is he planning to reveal his true self later?”
“If he tries to deceive you, I'll make sure he can’t find you again,” Elyse declared firmly.
Tracy frowned, her voice tinged with despair. “Shaun is relentless. No matter where | go, he finds me.”
Seeing Tracy’s somber expression, Elyse playfully tweaked her nose to lighten the mood. “It seems you know
him all too well.”
A forced smile crept across Tracy's face. “I once loved him deeply. How could | not understand him?”
Elyse, probing deeper, asked, “Do you truly no longer love him?”
