Bound Hearts: My Vows to My Disabled Spouse

False Friends

After disembarking from the plane, Elyse and Jayden headed straight to the hotel. They had arrived in Liverton a day ahead of the wedding to meet with Tracy.

Once Elyse sent a message to Tracy, she took Jayden to the < entertainment club where they had planned to meet.

"What's the name of the guy your friend is marrying?" Jayden inquired, his gaze drifting out the window to take in the street scenes of Liverton.

"His name is Shaun Kennedy," Elyse replied. "He was quite the heartthrob back at school, known for being unreachable. I never thought my friend would actually manage to win him over." "Shaun Kennedy?" Jayden's interest was piqued. "Isn't he the sole heir to the Kennedy family? What about your friend's family? How did she secure the opportunity to marry into such a prominent family?"

"Both her parents are schoolteachers. She doesn't come from a notable family." This was the first time Elyse had heard of Shaun's prestigious family background, and she couldn't hide her surprise. "Is Shaun really that hard to get?"

"The Kennedy family here in Liverton is akin to the Owen family in Watscar-what do you think?" Jayden asked, a smile playing on his lips Elyse was taken aback by the revelation of Kennedy's influential status.

Upon reaching their appointed club, they made their way to the room Tracy had directed them to. However, the moment they opened the door, they were greeted by a palpable tension in the air. In the room, a group of more than a dozen men and women were gathered, with Tracy standing apart from them, seemingly marginalized.

As Elyse and Jayden entered, they broke into the group's ongoing dialogue. Casting a scornful look at them, the group's leader questioned, "Why is there a disabled one? How could he get into the VIP room?"

Her words prompted laughter from her companions.

Upon spotting Elyse, Tracy turned and rushed to her, clutching her hand. Her voice was laden with emotion as she exclaimed, "Elyse, you're here!"

Comfortingly, Elyse patted Tracy's shoulder and stepped in front of her, challenging the woman with a stern expression, "What do you mean by that?"

Realizing the connection between Tracy and Elyse, the leading woman, Lily Fernandez, sneered, "Ah, now I understand. You must be Tracy's dear friend she mentioned, the one with a disabled husband. That's funny!"

The situation made Tracy feel deeply guilty, worrying about the implications for her friends. "I'm

sorry, Elyse. Perhaps it was wrong to Invite you..."

Elyse observed that Tracy, once sunny and warm, now seemed gloomier.

Firmly, Elyse declared, "This isn't your fault. You have no reason to feel guilty over the barking of

some dog. Can't you stop being so overly kind?"

It was unusual for Jayden to witness Elyse's toughness, and he chose not to interfere, allowing her

Lily bristled at Elyse's words. "How dare you call me a dog? Do you know who I am? I'm Lily Fernandez. You have no right to scold me!" she snapped.

With a tilt of her head and an ironic smile, Elyse coolly responded, "It doesn't matter who you are.

If someone insults me, I will retaliate. Isn't that just?"

Tracy responded confidently, "You are right. That's the spirit!"

Lily, with a smirk, glared at Tracy. "So, you think having a backer makes you bold enough to stand up to us?" she taunted.

Tracy, bolstered by Elyse's presence, did not back down. Anger rising. she placed her hands on her hips. "Do you think I'm unworthy of marrying Shaun? Is that why you brought these people

Standing beside them, Elyse frowned, puzzled. Did Shaun have a past lover? And who exactly was Dolores?

Originally, Tracy had intended to introduce Elyse to her friends in Liverton. However, she now realized that these supposed friends were actually allies of Dolores Ruiz, who had befriended her only to belittle her and sabotage her marriage to Shaun.

Tracy knew the journey to her relationship with Shaun had not been easy, and she was not about to walk away now.

Dismissing the false friends with a cool look, she took Elyse's hand firmly. "Let's go. I'l treat you to dinner, just us. I'm done with them."This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

Elyse agreed without hesitation and began to push Jayden's wheelchair to leave.

"Wait!" The sudden shout halted them. They turned to see a man rising from the crowd, his expression arrogant.

"Have I given you permission to leave? You should call off the wedding before you go. Shaun belongs to my sister. Who are you to marry him?"
