Bound Hearts: My Vows to My Disabled Spouse

Chapter 233



Chapter 233 Was He Plotting To Reclaim His...

After bidding Cody farewell, Elyse returned home with a troubled expression.

Jayden glanced at her and asked, "Did someone pick on you again?"

'As Peyton heard her approaching, he turned and offered her a cupcake. "Feeling down? Have some cake, it might cheer you up."

Elyse sat next to Jayden with a solemn look, accepted a warm towel from Driscoll, wiped her hands, and questioned, "What brings you here?"

Peyton huffed and rolled his eyes. "Can't I just drop by for dinner?"

"Of course, you can," Elyse reassured him.

Jayden passed a cupcake to her and explained, "His vacation's almost over. He's here for one last free meal before returning to work."

Taking a bite of his cake, Peyton chimed in, "Actually, I came to share some juicy gossip with you."

Intrigued, she leaned in. "What kind of gossip?"

Peyton's eyes lit up as he narrated, "Just a few days ago, I saw Corrie on a blind date while I was out for dinner. She's been at the same restaurant for blind dates three days in a row!"

Jayden elaborated, "Her family owns a chain of restaurants, including a few upscale ones. It's not surprising to see Corrie having dates at her family's restaurant."

Peyton managed a smile and said, "Three blind dates in three days? Is Corrie that eager to tie the knot?"

Jayden replied nonchalantly, "Her grandfather's seriously ill. He's had three life-saving injections this month alone, costing 860 thousand each. Corrie's got ambition. If she marries before her grandfather < passes, she stands to inherit a lot more."

"Is that a Bates family secret? How did you e by that information? They've never publicized anything, and I stumbled upon Corrie's blind dates purely by chance," Peyton remarked.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Elyse was just as shocked upon hearing this. She turned to Jayden with a puzzled look, wondering about his sources.

Jayden smirked. "Of course I know. I have my own network of informants. Doesn't your family have one too?"

Peyton rolled his eyes at Jayden's response.

But Elyse remained silent, her gaze fixed on Jayden. She pondered the reach of Jayden's network,

possibly more extensive and efficient than Peyton's family's.

Did it mean that Jayden wasn't visible in the business circle but had his secret team?

Realizing the implications, Elyse inhaled sharply.

If Jayden really had such a hidden talent, what would he plan to do with it? Was he truly content

with being excluded from the Owen family? Or was he plotting to reclaim his influence?

The more Elyse mulled it over, the more plausible it seemed.

She had always sensed that Jayden was concealing something. After some reflection, she was convinced that this was his secret.

But why hadn't he confided in her about his ambition to reclaim his influence?

If he had plans to do so, she would stand by him. There was no reason for hiding.

She felt an urge to discuss this with Jayden but ultimately chose silence.

If Jayden chose not to share, then so be it. As his wife, she could still support him quietly. Their conversation drifted on for a while. When Peyton heard that Elyse was performing at the concert hall the next day, he exclaimed excitedly, "! want to see your performance tomorrow!" "I'm afraid you might not catch me on stage. I'm not the concertmaster, just blending in with the crowd."

"That doesn't matter. I'l spot you even in a crowd. I've got sharp eyes!" With that, Peyton edged closer to Jayden.

Peyton looked at him with curiosity. "Are you going there tomorrow? Maybe I could tag

along?".

Jayden saw through his intentions. "Why don't you get your own ticket?"

Raising an eyebrow, Peyton countered, "Their performance starts tomorrow. What decent seats

could I possibly get now? I bet I'd get a better one with you."

Elyse chimed in, glancing at Jayden, "You could give him a ticket. Didn't I give you three?"

Peyton's frustration was evident. "Three tickets! Why won't you take me?"

Jayden, feeling cornered, replied, "Alright, I'll give you a ticket."

With a sly grin, Peyton suggested, "There's still one left. Why not give it to Clive? He's always wanted to hear Elyse play the violin."

Elyse looked surprised. "Really? He should e and tell me. I'd be happy to play for him."

Peyton dismissed the idea with a wave of his hand. "How could he possibly ask? After all, you're Jayden's wife. How could he possibly let you perform for him?".

As Elyse and Peyton continued their conversation, they pletely ignored Jayden.

Jayden's expression turned grim. Peyton knew Elyse was his wife, yet he still expressed a desire to hear her play.
