HappyNovelChapter 1131:
Jayden responded coolly, “I understand completely. Don’t worry.”
Elyse, observing Jayden’s playful manipulation of Edward, felt a twinge of sympathy for the oblivious man.
However, she decided it was best not to interfere and let the scene unfold naturally.
Elyse was seated on a wooden chair when Linda pointed towards Ken, busy at the grill, and said, “My husband's
grilling skills are something else. You have to try his meat later.”

Elyse nodded in agreement. “I can smell it from here,” she said, patting her rumbling stomach.
Next to Elyse, Edward felt overlooked, almost as if she didn’t notice his presence. Seeking attention, he moved
closer and said, “My grilling isn’t too bad either. Want to try some?”
Elyse grimaced slightly and gestured toward Jayden and Ken. “They're already handling the grill. | don’t need
your help right now.”
Edward looked visibly disappointed and asked with a hint of sadness, “But didn’t you promise to grill for me? Are
we still doing that?”
Elyse reassured him with a nod. “Of course. | won't let you down.”
She then stood up, joined Jayden at the grill, chose smarbled cuts of meat, and started grilling with skill.
Unable to contain his pride, Edward walked over to where Jayden was and said, “Look! Elyse is grilling for me. Do
you ever get this kind of treatment?”
Jayden glanced at Elyse’s grilling efforts, then looked back and asked sternly, “I've never seen her cook before.
Are you sure it’s safe to eat?”
“Why not? Or are you implying she can’t cook? That's quite an insult,” Edward retorted, twisting Jayden’s words
before turning to complain to Elyse, “Did you hear him? He's got no faith in your cooking.”

Elyse, ignoring their bickering, continued with her grilling.
Linda, observing from her seat while enjoying sfruit, watched the three intently. The dynamics among them
were delicate. She had it figured out—a classic love triangle.
Edward fancied Elyse, who seemed to prefer Jayden. Such love triangles were always fascinating, whether in
s or real life.
After a bit, Linda mused that Edward, caught between Jayden and Elyse, almost resembled their child. She
couldn't resist commenting, “Edward, you don’t need to be the go-between. You're acting quite childishly, you
know?”
Edward looked up, confused, not grasping Linda's hint.
