Chapter 1024:

Elyse frowned, ready to turn him down, but Edward, as if reading her mind, gently pressed a finger to her lips,

silencing her.

Caught off guard, Elyse found herself staring at Edward, wondering what curveball he was about to throw her

way. In a soft, almost tender voice, Edward whispered, “My dear, once was enough for the hurtful words. There's

no need to repeat them.”

Elyse brushed his hand away, sighing as she said, “Then go on, be a good boy, and enjoy the evening with your

friends. | just want a moment to myself.”

Edward's shoulders rose and fell in a shrug. “Alright, but you have to promise that when you meet your friend,

you'll takealong.”

“Fine, | promise,” Elyse replied, waving him off wearily.

Pleased as punch with her agreement, Edward finally sauntered off to join the others for a drink. With her

hovering shadow gone, Elyse breathed a sigh of relief. She knocked back her drink in one swift gulp, then

reached for the bottle to pour another round.

“Jayden, why haven't you cto seeyet? Do you know how well the performance went today?” Her gaze

drifted into the distance before she fished out her phone, pulling up Jayden’s chat once more. The conversation

was a one-sided affair, filled to the brim with her messages.

Thumb-scrolling upwards, she muttered under her breath, “Are you ignoringon purpose? Trying to make me

worry like this—it’s childish. If this is your way, at least tellyou're safe. I'm genuinely concerned about you.”

The pressure of the tour had forced Elyse to bottle up her feelings.

But now, with the first performance in the rearview mirror and sliquid courage in her system, those buried

emotions were bubbling to the surface. Try as she might, she couldn't keep a lid on them any longer.

An hour ticked by, and the banquet was winding down. The conductor’s voice rang out, “Great work, everyone!

Tomorrow's a rest day. We'll meet again at the hall the day after to prepare for the next performance.” A chorus

of cheers erupted from the group, and slowly but surely, people began to file out.

Edward made his way to the exit and spotted Elyse standing there, seemingly waiting. He bounded over

excitedly, asking, “Did you wait long? | was stuck in line for the restroom. It took forever.”

Elyse shook her head. “No, | wasn’t waiting for you. I'm waiting for Theo's car.”

Edward's face fell faster than a lead balloon. “Theo? What's your ex doing here? Is he tagging along to meet your

friend too? Can't you stop being so indecisive? Isn't havingenough?”

Elyse rolled her eyes in exasperation.

A few minutes later, Theo's car rolled up. He clocked Edward, and surprise flickered across his face, but unlike

Edward, he kept his cards close to his chest. “I'm here to pick you up,” Theo said evenly. “Is he coming along

too? Let's all go together.”
