Bound Hearts: My Vows to My Disabled Spouse

Elyse expressed surprise. "Rebekah confessed her love? Did Freddy accept her?"

"Freddy..." Darren's tone carried a mix of emotions. "His intentions were unclear. He didn't outright reject her. Instead, he mentioned needing time to consider, which pleased Rebekah." Perplexed, Darren inquired, "Didn't he harbor dislike toward her? Why didn't he reject her?" Elyse was left speechless, the revelation too startling for an immediate response.

After deliberation, she cautiously suggested, "Perhaps Freddy sought to spare Rebekah public embarrassment? He may have wished to show her some respect, especially in a public setting." Darren remained unconvinced. Having spent ample time gaming with Freddy, he understood Freddy to be resolute and decisive.

To Darren, Freddy's actions hinted at ulterior motives, though he refrained from speculating further.

"You can reach out to Freddy for clarification. We all inquired earlier this afternoon, yet he remained tight-lipped." Darren's mischievous notion sparked.

Elyse's astonishment was palpable. "He didn't tell information from you when you asked him. Do

you suppose he'd divulge anything if I inquired?"

Darren's voice dropped his grin sly. "Perhaps he'd open up to you. Remember when he harbored

feelings for you?"

Elyse felt deeply embarrassed. It seemed like ages ago. How could Darren still recall it?

Furthermore, after marrying Jayden, she drew a clear boundary with Freddy, regarding him solely asa friend.

Now Darren had dredged it up, amplifying her disfort. Thankfully, Jayden wasn't present. If he overheard, she dreaded the repercussions.

"Understood. I'll give him a call and seek clarification."

She guiltily ended the call.

She discovered Freddy's contact. After pausing, she opted to dial. Curiosity about his lack of rejection towards Rebekah lingered.

Recalling Freddy's animosity towards Rebekah, his sudden pliance puzzled her. A sense of unease persisted.

Upon connection, Elyse greeted warmly, "Hey, Freddy, what occupies your time?"

"Humph."

Asner tinged with mockery emanated from the receiver.

It was a woman's voice.

The voice sounded familiar to Elyse. She asked uncertainly, "Rebekah? Is it you?"

"Don't be so audacious, Elyse. As a married woman, how dare you dial Freddy at midnight? You're

despicable, still pining for him post- marriage. Don't you feel repulsed?"

Rebekah spoke rapidly, her biting words resounding through the air.

Elyse massaged her ears, her tone impatient. "Can you speak more gently? Also, I called Freddy

for a reason. Why did you answer his phone?Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

In response, Rebekah's demeanor softened, her tone being conciliatory. "It's customary for

me to answer his phone. We're in a relationship now. Don't you want to know what he's doing?

He's currently showering. Does that satisfy your inquiry?"

Elyse was taken aback, remaining silent for a prolonged moment before finally speaking. "Please, return the phone to Freddy."

boyfriend. Stop calling him! Don't you realize how low this makes you?

With a conflicted expression, Elyse pondered before asserting. "Then let Freddy speak for himself and confirm your relationship."

Rebekah, momentarily flustered, swiftly regained posure and asserted with arrogance, "As I mentioned, he's currently showering, making it inconvenient to answer. Did you have a message for him? I'l pass it along."

What Elyse wanted to say couldn't be passed on by Rebekah. Rubbing her stiff face, Elyse uttered, "Nothing serious. I won't intrude on your time together."

'Aware that Elyse assumed her relationship with Freddy, Rebekah felt at ease. Upon hearing the ém

Emerging from the shower, Freddy dried his hair and queried, "Who was on the phone earlier?" Rebekah feigned civility, remarking, "It was a fraudulent call. I reprimanded the deceiver and terminated the call."
