Chapter 1555:
Elyse, her mind still a whirl of questions, couldn’t summon a smile. Why did everyone seem so eager to be part of her wedding? What was so special about it?
Louise, too, appeared taken aback by Jayden’s sudden admission. “A wedding?” she asked, her gaze flicking to Elyse. “Does Elyse even know about this?”noveldrama
Jayden’s gaze softened as he looked at Elyse, who still seemed lost in thought. “If she’s willing,” he said gently, “we can have it anytime.” At that, the room fell silent, every eye turning to Elyse. She looked from one expectant face to the next before blurting out, “Well, if we can have it anytime, can you all attend anytime?”
Louise coughed lightly, a hint of amusement in her voice. “That’s a fair question. Just give me a heads-up on the date, and I’ll clear my schedule.”
Jayden’s expression grew serious. “So, what’s the real reason you invited us here?”
He knew all too well this wasn’t the kind of place for idle chatter. There had to be something more behind the invitation.
“You’re sharp,” Louise acknowledged with a nod. “Rebecca would like to invite Elyse to perform at a peace concert in her home country.”
Elyse blinked, caught off guard. “A peace concert?”
“Yes,” Louise said, her voice tinged with a touch of excitement. “It’s for the 20th anniversary of the ceasefire between Virelia and Manfek. Virelia is hosting it.” She shrugged nonchalantly. “I know it’s a bit out of the blue, and you’re absolutely free to decline.”
Elyse was stunned. She turned to Rebecca, her confusion mounting. “Why me? I’m not from either Virelia or Manfek.”
Rebecca smiled warmly, her eyes gleaming with an almost secret understanding. “There’s a reason why it has to be you. Besides, doesn’t your not belonging to either country make you an even more perfect symbol for peace?”
Elyse was taken aback. This was unlike any invitation she’d ever received. But rather than feeling flattered, a strange unease settled over her.
Louise, sensing her hesitation, leaned in with a reassuring smile. “It’s alright, take your time. There’s no rush. Let us know when you’ve made up your mind.”
“I invited you,” Rebecca added softly, “because I truly love your music. It carries a depth that’s hard to put into words. I thought it would be the perfect fit for such a meaningful event.”
Rebecca wrung her hands nervously, a slight frown creasing her brow. “I hope I’m not stressing you.”

“Not at all,” Elyse quickly assured her, offering a faint but genuine smile. “I understand your intentions.”
Elyse’s words brought a smile to Rebecca’s face.
Elyse graciously accepted the coffee Jayden handed her, sipped it gently, and briefly changed the topic.
However, Rebecca quickly steered the conversation back. “Elyse, should you choose to perform, feel free to bring your friends along,” she said in a light, easygoing tone.
Elyse, slightly puzzled, asked, “My friends?”
“It might be daunting to attend such an event alone,” Rebecca explained. “Perhaps some friends could join you on stage? It could make the experience more enjoyable for you.”
