Bound Hearts: My Vows to My Disabled Spouse

Chapter 304 Kaelyn's Visit

Elyse was reading on the sofa when Jayden came home for dinner.

When he arrived, he looked quite worried. He saw her hurt knees and said, "You got hurt after going out. From now on, just stay home where it's safe."

Elyse glared at him and said unhappily, "I tripped because my legs were weak from our intimate activities. Perhaps we should stop our intimate encounters."

With a nonchalant air, Jayden removed his tie, his fingers deftly undoing his shirt buttons, revealing his exposed collarbones. A subtle, yet undeniable hint of danger danced in his eyes as he spoke, his tone assertive, "We are married. Nothing is wrong with me having sex with yout! If not me, who else would you rather have sex with? Answer me."

With a manding aura, Jayden drew closer, towering over her.

Trapped beneath his overwhelming presence, Elyse found herself retreating into the recesses of the sofa. Her voice quivered with apprehension as she stammered, "Only you, Jayden. I. Ijust want to have sex with you."

Aint of satisfaction played upon Jayden's lips as he heard Elyse's timorous answer. With a more gentle touch, he placed a finger on her cheek, faintly brushing her skin.

A devious smile crept across Jayden's face as he voiced his inquiry.his voice dripping with

smugness. "But why has another man found his way into your life?"

Elyse pulled back, creating some distance between them. "I'm not interested in discussing Theo right now. If you have questions, it's best to ask him directly."

As she spoke, Elyse turned her head away. She wasn't interested in engaging with Jayden at that moment.

Jayden raised his eyebrows, surprised by Elyse's defiance.

She claimed he didn't pamper her. Yet, she looked so confident and defiant. No one else dared to stand up to him, but she did.

Jayden was about to "punish" her, but he hesitated and stopped.

In the morning, he had exhausted her with their passionate lovemaking. If it happened again, she would only grow more discontent.

Jayden reined in the carnal flames raging inside him, his fingers encircling her chin with a steely grip, forcing Elyse to turn her gaze toward him.

"Would you like some help with those photos?" he asked deliberately.

Elyse snapped, "If you can accept the rumors about me and another man, then don't interfere!" Jayden didn't truly love Elyse. His desire was just a man's possessive urge.

After mentally uttering those words, she bottled up her anger and refused to meet Jayden's gaze, instead wrapping her arms tightly around a throw pillow.

Jayden rubbed his temples, perplexed as to why he had managed to upset her once again.

Despite his confusion, he pulled out his phone and sent a message to Tobin, requesting that he scrub the internet of any related information.

Jayden put away his phone and said, "I have something to take care of. I'l be in my study. Please stay here and relax."

"What are you busy with?" Elyse asked, without thinking.

Feeling Elyse turned away after speaking to Jayden.

"Don't worry, it's nothing significant. I'll be done ina moment, and then I'll join you." Jayden

smiled to himself and expertly maneuvered his wheelchair into the study.

He kept quiet, knowing it wasn't the right time, and wanting to shield her from his dangerous world.

Elyse felt a sense of despair, rather than sadness, when he didn't answer her

question

She took a deep breath, patted her face, and tried to reassure herself, "It's alright. As long as I don't develop feelings for him, I won't get hurt."

Since Jayden didn't have romantic intentions, she couldn't hope for love from him.

She hugged the pillow tightly, finding some solace.

She felt a deep and chilling loneliness, one that seemed to seep into her very bones.

Kaelyn heard Theo was back in town, so she stopped by his favorite restaurant and packed some of his favorite dishes to wele him home.

She had visited his home so often that the household staff knew her by sight, and the servant would let her in without anyText property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Kaelyn gave the takeout to the servant, asking her to heat them up and serve them to Theo later.

In a concerned voice, she asked the servant, "Where's Theo? I haven't seen him. Is he okay?"

The servant responded with a deferential demeanor, "He is currently in the garden."

"Then I'll go find him." Kaelyn hurried to the garden, her excitement evident in her quick

Theo sat under the pavilion, staring at his phone with a mix of concentration and sadness on his face.

Kaelyn crept up behind him, trying to surprise him, but accidentally caught a glimpse of his phone

screen.

It was a photo of Theo and Elyse!

Kaelyn had rushed to see Theo after work, unaware of the buzz about him and Elyse, having had no time to check her phone.

Her face suddenly went pale as she thought of Theo and Elyse together.

Theo was lost in the photo, his finger tenderly tracing Elyse's face on the screen, revealing his deep affection.

Her heart felt like it was shattering into a million pieces. She mustered up the courage to ask, "Theo, do you still love Elyse?" Her voice trembled slightly.
