Bound Hearts: My Vows to My Disabled Spouse

Chapter 71 An Unexpected Arrival

After uttering those words, Elyse's eyes widened in shock, and she instinctively covered her mouth.

It was clear that she had just blurted out something audacious.

She glanced guiltily at Jayden, who wore a sore expression on his face.

She said something wasn't even supposed to have crossed her mind.

Realizing the gravity of her mistake, Elyse felt an overwhelming urge to escape, but before she could make a move, Jayden swiftly grabbed her by the waist, pulling her closer to him. However, in the process, she accidentally pressed against a sensitive area, causing him to frown and take a sharp breath.

Fear coursed through Elyse's veins, and she struggled and squirmed in an attempt to break free from Jayden's grasp. But her efforts were in vain, as he held her even tighter, unable to resist the tantalizing sensation.

"Why must you be so naughty? Believe me when I say that I could easily take you right here and now!" Jayden's voice dripped with danger as he spoke, his eyes flashing with a mixture of desire and warning.

Elyse, though frightened, said, "You wouldn't do that."

Jayden sneered, sensing her lack of fear. He trailed his hand downward, inching closer to her thigh, and Elyse's heart raced with fear.

"I won't defy you," she murmured, her voice laced with surrender.

Gazing at the woman who had submitted to him, Jayden sneered. "So, you doubted my

capabilities, didn't you? Well, I can assure you that I am more than capable, and I can certainly prove i

"No, please spare me," Elyse pleaded, shaking her head.

Jayden loosened his grip on her hand and carried her back to the bed. "Are you still angry with me, then?"

Elyse, trying to change the subject, pouted and asked, "Tell me, am I sharp?"

Jayden fell silent, contemplating her question. He had known Elyse for a long time, but he couldn't honestly say that he found her particularly bright.

"You are sharp," he reluctantly replied, going against his true thoughts, remembering Driscoll's advice.

Upon hearing his praise, Elyse's face lit up with happiness. "! knew it! I was just caught in a trap.

You can't call me foolish in front of other people anymore."

Jayden found her childish words amusing and couldn't help but ruffle her hair gently as if soothing

a child. "Alright, from now on, I'll only call you foolish when we're alone."

Elyse playfully rolled her eyes in response.

Just then, a knock echoed from the door.

Driscoll stood respectfully by the doorway and reminded them, "Sir, ma'am, there is a guest downstairs."

"A guest? It's been never since we had a guest ever since we got married," Elyse said, clearly puzzled by the unexpected arrival.

Jayden helped her off the bed, tidying up her disheveled clothes, and replied nonchalantly, "Well, Peyton is a guest, isn't he?"Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

"He's your doctor. He comes here often. He doesn't count as a guest,"

Elyse retorted, pushing his wheelchair as they made their way to the elevator. "I'm curious to know who this visitor is."

"An uninvited guest usually brings trouble. Don't get your hopes up," Jayden warned.

Elyse nodded, attentively listening to his words.

As they reached the ground floor, they saw a man in a suit standing by the fish tank, admiring the colorful fish swimming inside.

Sensing their presence, the man turned around and greeted Jayden with a smile, "Long time no see, my dear cousin!"

"Brook, glad to see you!"

Jayden acknowledged, returning the smile and shaking his hand. However, he swiftly withdrew his hand and moved to the sofa, with Elyse sitting by his side.

Seated on the other end of the sofa, Brook Owen, Jayden's cousin, observed Elyse and asked with curiosity, "Is this your wife, Elyse Lloyd?"

Elyse, casting a quick glance at Jayden, obediently replied, "Hello, Brooks. I'm Elyse, Jayden's wife. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Brook nodded, a touch of admiration in his voice. "She doesn't strike me as someone who would betray you. You're a lucky man, bro."

Brook's words puzzled Elyse. What did he mean by that?fio?eDworm.co.l

It was an odd kind of compliment, suggesting that she could cheat on Jayden.

"What brings you here? You're not simply here checking on my wife, are you?" Jayden's tone turned unfriendly and impatient.

"I'm here to deliver a message. Grandpa Enzo's birthday is in five days, and he invites both you and your wife to attend,"

Brook replied, legs crossed, leaning back on the sofa in a casual and somewhat arrogant manner. "Isn't that delightful? Even Grandpa Enzo extended an invitation to you. He pities you and wants to see you back on your feet!"

Jayden responded, "Thank him for me. I'll be there with my wife."

After saying that, he harshly asked, "Can you leave now?"
