Chapter 1086:
Jayden trailed behind her, suggesting earnestly, “The bathroom might not be secure. | should accompany you to
keep you safe.”
As he made a move to follow her in, Elyse quickly slammed the door in his face. “Cut out the creepy act. I'm not
sharing the bathroom with you.”

“I've assisted you before with bathing. Trust me, I'm quite adept,” Jayden claimed nonchalantly through the door.

irritation.
“Enough of that talk!” she snapped sharply, her annoyance palpable.
Jayden, understanding her discomfort, chose not to provoke her further. He knew pushing her might lead to
irreparable rifts, and that was a risk he wasn’t willing to take.
He was patient, aware that eventually, Elyse wouldn't be able to keep resisting him forever.
Peyton had once advised him that the key to winning a woman over was a blend of boldness, discretion, and
resilience. As long as Elyse remained unattached, Jayden believed he held an advantage.
Inside the bathroom, Elyse attempted to settle her nerves. She unpacked her toiletries from a plastic bag and
began to brush her teeth. Suddenly, an odd sound echoed through the room, resembling someone’s breath.
The noise seemed to emanate from the shower area, where a 1.6-meter glass panel was fitted, presumably so
guests could ensure they were spotless post-shower. Driven by curiosity, Elyse edged closer to the glass to
investigate.

When silence was the only answer, a cold dread swept over Jayden. He quickly turned the handle and swung the
door open.
The room was starkly empty, with no sign of Elyse. Cursing his oversight in such a precarious place, Jayden
checked his watch. Relief washed over him as he realized he might still be on tto avert disaster.
He scrutinized the bathroom, convinced it concealed a secret passageway. Finding the switch was imperative. He
searched meticulously, ending at the shower where a conspicuous tall mirror caught his eye.
Frustration mounting and still without finding a switch, he grabbed a chair and began pounding on the mirror.
The stubborn glass resisted the initial strikes. Persistent, Jayden kept swinging until cracks began to web across
the surface.
