?Chapter 1144:


    Tugging Jayceon’s sleeve, sheined, “Are you really taking her side over mine when we’re about to get married?”


    A cold look from Jayceon made Fay fall quiet at once.


    Shifting his focus, he turned to Ellie. “Did you receive my wedding invitation?”


    Ellie lifted an eyebrow, the hint of a smirk ying at her lips. “I did. You can count on me to show up and congratte you.”


    A noticeable shift brightened Jayceon’s expression. He took the ck shirt from Fay, slid it back onto the rack, and opted for a gray one instead. “Let’s go with this color.”


    Fay was all too aware that her resemnce to Ellie was the real reason Jayceon was marrying her. Any outburst now would only backfire. So, she kept her frustration to herself and shot Ellie a resentful look.


    The whole exchange only fueled Ellie’s satisfaction. “I’ll take this in my husband’s size; thank you.”


    Enjoying every second of the drama, the clerk epted the garment from Ellie with a grin. “I’ll get this wrapped up for you right away.”


    Jayceon felt frustrated. After Ellie left, he picked up a nearly identical piece from the rack.


    Fay pursed her lips in protest but kept her voice low. “This one actually looks pretty nice,” she muttered.


    Meanwhile, Brenna shed Ellie a thumbs-up. “You were amazing just now, Ellie.”


    Leaning in, she whispered, “Honestly, Jayceon’s invitation is just his excuse to stay in touch with you. Fay’s doing it to get under your skin. The way you outyed them was priceless. Fay looked ready to explode just now!”


    Ellie, now in high spirits, selected a few more pieces from the racks.


    Brenna soon noticed a pattern—every time Ellie made a choice, Jayceon’s eyes would flicker in her direction.


    “This one would be great for Ethan,” Ellie said to Brenna, pointing out a pale blue sports sweatshirt.


    Spotting the disy of sweatshirts, Brenna was tempted to pick out a few more. A disy of lingerie and socks caught Ellie’s eye, and she made her way toward it.


    Jayceon, seizing the chance, followed her.

    He approached her and asked, “How’s life been treating you these days, Ellie?”


    Jayceon’s shoulders tensed as he stood in front of the men’s underwear section, unsure of where to look.<fn3f71> For more chapters visit Find[F]ovel</fn3f71>


    Watching Ellie carefully choose something so personal for Thiago sent a sharp pang through his chest, making it difficult to breathe.


    Without hesitation, Ellie reached for a pair of dark blue boxers and nced at the tag to check the size.


    Irritation simmered within Jayceon as he snatched the boxers from her grasp and shoved them back onto the disy.


    Ellie’s eyes narrowed into a re. Then she handed the boxers to the sales clerk and said, “I’m taking these.”


    In one fierce motion, she snatched more underwear off the shelf and dumped the pile into the clerk’s arms.


    Jayceon stared at the underwear, lost for words, before turning to her. “Is Thiago treating you so well? You’re even buying him underwear? I know you don’t actually love him. Stop pretending you do just to spite me. Just be honest—say you don’t love him, say he means nothing, and I’ll marry you right now.” His voice rising, he continued, “What is so great about him anyway? He is poorpared to me and not half as good-looking as me. I can give you everything he can’t. Look at your life with him—you’re still working like before. He cannot support you financially or give you the life you want. You should be with someone who can give youfort. Just divorce him and marry me.”
