Chapter 179
Jealousy Hung Thick In The Air
Tears welled up in Judy's eyes as she pleaded with Kieran, her voice trembling, "Kieran, can't you just wait? I'll see Jayden soon and tell him how I feel. He will understand my efforts. I know he will"
Kieran's gaze held a mix of emotions as he looked at Judy, a knot forming in his stomach. He hadn't realized just how deeply Judy's feelings for Jayden ran.
But he couldn't condone it.
Taking a firmer hold of her, Kieran implored, "Judy, remember you are a Foster. You have responsibilities. Dad is trying to find the right match for you. Come back with me."
With a determined tug, Kieran pulled her out of the room.
Despite her best efforts to break free, Judy found herself powerless against Kieran's insistence. The realization that her hopes and efforts were slipping away brought about a rush of emotion. Her eyes turned red as she choked out, "Kieran, why are you doing this? Can't you see? I just want to be with the man I love."
A flicker of compassion crossed Kieran's face. However, he said, "Don't be stubborn, Judy. We have duties as Fosters." Therefore, he was determined to protect her and ensure her happiness as much as possible.
Judy couldn't fathom Kieran's concerns for her. She bristled against his actions, but his resolve was unyielding, leaving her powerless to resist.
Meanwhile, Driscoll gripped the landline phone, his expression tense as he listened to the caller's words. With a heavy sigh, he finally hung up and reported, "Kieran has taken Judy away. She left in tears."
"Tears? Does she like being a maid?" Elyse's surprise was palpable.
Jayden mirrored her surprise.
Driscoll pondered for a moment before speaking. "Word has it she was promised by the housekeeper a return here if she worked diligently. Judy believed it."
Jayden nodded thoughtfully. "That was a smart move."
Elyse frowned, mulling over the situation. Suddenly, her gaze sharpened as she fixed Jayden with
an accusing look. “It means she loves you so much she is willing to work as a maid for you."
Jealousy hung thick in the air.
Sensing Elyse's mood, Driscoll decided to stay silent, not daring to interject.

But Jayden was oblivious to this fact. In all honesty, he didn't expect Elyse to be jealous of Judy.
He had already reassured her, believing her jealousy had been put to rest.
He couldn't have been more wrong.
Elyse's jealousy had not been quelled.
"That's true. She might love me, but it's merely surface-level. I still haven't deciphered the Foster family's intentions. I'll need to investigate further," Jayden declared solemnly, unaware of Elyse's growing anger.
"You want to pursue this further?" Elyse asked through gritted teeth.
Driscoll closed his eyes, feeling the weight of the situation. What was his master thinking? Why hadn't he learned not to mention another woman in front of his wife?
As he watched Elyse's fury mount, realization suddenly dawned on Jayden. He asked, "Are you jealous?"
"I'm not!" Elyse retorted, crossing her arms and turning away in a huff, refusing to meet his gaze. Jayden frowned. Hadn't they resolved this? Why was she jealous again?
At that moment, Bryce returned from work, breaking the tension between Jayden and Elyse.

Jayden's and Elyse's faces.
As he settled onto the sofa and ordered Jayden, "I need someone to accompany me tonight. Whoever is up for it will sleep on the floor."
Upon hearing this, Jayden scoffed and said, "Are you really so afraid to sleep alone?"
Bryce fired back, "Your place is haunted. What did you do to get it haunted? Moreover, I'm theBelonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Jayden replied nonchalantly, "No one is staying with you tonight. You are sleeping alone." "Don't push me too far, Jayden!" Bryce slammed his hand on the table, his humiliation evident. "No one is pushing you. We are just keeping your little accident last night a secret," Jayden teased.
Bryce's embarrassment over last night's incident, where he had wet his pants in front of everyone, struck a raw nerve. It had become the most shameful moment of his life.
