Chapter 1427
Chapter 1427:
Elyse curled her lips into a tight smile. “Fine. If you insist I shouldn’t go downstairs, then I won’t.”
Jayden replied, “They’re not worth your time, not important at all.” After his words, Jayden affectionately ruffled Elyse’s hair before exiting the bedroom.
He walked into the living room and spotted Shaun lounging on the sofa, calmly sipping his coffee. Shaun’s parents sat opposite, their faces etched with worry.
Jayden approached with a nonchalant air and asked, “So, you just showed up? Need something?”noveldrama
With a look of concern, Hanley replied, “He’s adamant about leaving the hospital. Claims someone’s troubling him there and he’s pushing for a discharge.”
“That sounds like a family issue. Why bring it to me?” Jayden countered, his tone laced with surprise.
Hanley, uneasy, explained, “He’s refusing to go back to Liverton or agree to any plans we make. He’s only asking for you and Elyse.” Jayden, momentarily thrown off, pointed to his own face and challenged Shaun, “Did you wake up confused this morning, thinking Elyse and I are your folks?”
Shaun stroked his chin, musing, “The moment I laid eyes on you both, something felt familiar.”
Jayden snapped back, “Losing your memory doesn’t mean you should lose all sense of reality. We’ve had our separate lives, and a pretty solid grudge to boot.”
Curious, Shaun pressed further. “What grudge? Do tell.”
Jayden paused, then sighed. “It’s water under the bridge now, but that bridge was burned long ago.”

Shaun, still confused, asked, “How is it too late? Wasn’t our issue just business?”
Choosing to drop the subject, Jayden turned to Hanley and Velma. “What exactly are you asking of me, Mr. and Mrs. Kennedy?”
Hanley responded earnestly, “We’re at our wits’ end. He won’t even acknowledge us as his parents. We’re hoping you could look after him.”
Jayden fell silent, his frustration palpable, before bluntly stating, “I don’t run a shelter here.”
Hanley was quick to add, “We’re willing to make it worth your while. Let’s hash it out in your study.”
As Jayden hesitated, Velma dabbed at her eyes and choked out, “Look, I know you’re not short on partners, and we might not be your top pick. But Shaun is our boy. He doesn’t recognize us anymore, so we’re just rolling with his punches.”
Turning to Shaun, who appeared indifferent to her tears, she pleaded, “Mr. Owen, could you consider helping us out, just this time? We’re ready to show you how serious we are.”
Rubbing his temples, Jayden muttered, “Crying won’t help anyone, you know.”
Velma, her voice heavy with sorrow, shared, “My son is so unlucky. After that car crash, he doesn’t remember a thing or recognize any of us.”
Unaffected by Velma’s distress, Shaun quipped, “Ease up on the tears; you’re not exactly a picture when you cry. Jayden might not play ball if you keep at it.”
Velma, catching the hint, quickly wiped away her tears.
Jayden looked over at Shaun, bemused by his carefree demeanor, and gestured towards his office. “Mr. Hanley Kennedy, let’s step into my study, please.”
Hanley, spotting a chance to bridge gaps, promptly followed Jayden.
