Bound Hearts: My Vows to My Disabled Spouse

A Novice In Love

Elyse quickly left Richie's embrace and said with embarrassment, "I'm sorry. I wasn't standing steadily."

Richie just nodded his head. He turned to Kaelyn with a warm smile, "Kaelyn, you're looking great these days."

Kaelyn stepped out of the elevator and started chatting with Richie, completely ignoring Elyse. Elyse didn't take it to heart. When she arrived home, she found Jayden in his wheelchair, engrossed in a book.

She approached him swiftly, closed the book in his hands, and asked with a hint of irritation, "When did you get home?"

Jayden looked up and replied, "I arrived an hour before you."

"Why didn't you come to see my performance?" Elyse asked, her voice tinged with

disappointment.

Jayden, perplexed, raised his eyebrows. "Even if I had made it, I wouldn't have caught your

performance, right?"

Elyse stared at Jayden for a moment, then snorted coldly and headed upstairs.

Jayden, puzzled, turned to Driscoll. "Why is she mad again? I didn't do anything."

Driscoll sighed and explained, "She wanted you to be there. Even if you missed her performance,

showing up means a lot."

Jayden was still puzzled. "But why do I need to go if I had other commitments?"

Driscoll responded with gravity, "It's about showing interest and being caring. That's what matters to her."

"Have I ever ignored her?" Jayden protested, "I've taken care of everything for her."

"You're in a relationship, Driscoll stressed, his tone urgent. "She's your partner!"

Jayden started to object but then fell silent.

Driscoll looked at Jayden's bewildered expression and continued, "She wants you to appreciate

her talents. She's been excited about today's performance for days but you weren't there, despite her anticipation."

Jayden had never truly understood love. However, Driscoll's words shed light on Elyse's

perspective.

"Being involved with a woman is such a hassle." He couldn't help complaining.

Driscoll shook his head, countering gracefully, "No true gentleman finds it bothersome to be with

a woman. You should really try to cultivate a romantic relationship with her."Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Jayden frowned "She's already my wife. Why do I need to work on starting a romance now?"

Driscoll gave Jayden a look that suggested he was a novice in these matters.

"If you don't grasp the essence of love, you'll never understand her thoughts."

Jayden pursed his lips and fixed his gaze on Driscoll. He started to speak several times, hesitated, and eventually remained silent.

Knowing Jayden had absorbed his advice, Driscoll chose to say no more. Just then, Elyse

descended the stairs with an empty glass and headed for the kitchen.

Upon seeing her, Driscoll eagerly began, "Elyse, wait up! Mr. Owen has already..."

Elyse shot Jayden a glance, snorted coldly without a word, and averted her gaze as she continued toward the kitchen.

Jayden clenched his teeth. How could she just ignore him like that?

Noticing Jayden's growing irritation, Driscoll quickly intervened, "Stay calm. She's still

upset.".

Jayden maneuvered his wheelchair to intercept Elyse, but she brushed past him with a glass of

milk, giving him a sharp pinch on the waist.

"Ouch!" Jayden inhaled sharply and clutched at the pinched area.

She left without even a glance in his direction.

She continued upstairs, not once looking back.

Driscoll stood watching the scene, his eyes reflecting a deep sense of helplessness as he

observed the angry woman and the furious man.

Back in her room, after finishing her milk, Elyse found herself repeatedly glancing at the door. She eventually set the glass down on the table and muttered, aggrieved, "Why hasn't he come in yet?" Unbeknownst to her, Jayden was sitting just outside her door.

He could have entered to soothe her anger with comforting words, confident that she would forgive him after he spoke.

However, Driscoll's earlier words had sparked a realization in Jayden, he acknowledged there was more he didn't understand about their relationship.

Several times Jayden almost knocked, but each time he hesitated and eventually retreated to the study.

Elyse waited until midnight, but Jayden never came to apologize.
