Bound Hearts: My Vows to My Disabled Spouse

A Perfect Match

Elyse glanced around, noting the sparse crowd. "This place isn't exactly the best spot for a violin performance. There's hardly anyone around."

"And am I not an audience?" Richie retorted confidently. "Besides, a performer can perform anywhere. If you want it, everything around can be your audience!"

Elyse gave him a skeptical look. "Is that what your music-savvy friend told you?"

"Absolutely. My friend is amazing. You'll meet him when he's back to our country!"

Pointing towards a nearby streetlight, Richie said, "There's light there. You can stand under it and play your violin!"

Elyse hesitated, then walked over to the streetlamp with her violin. She positioned herself, took a deep breath, and began to play.

Meanwhile, Richie pulled out his phone to record a video.

With her eyes closed, Elyse poured her emotions into her music. Every unspoken grievance found

a voice through her violin.

As Richie was recording, he noticed a few people approaching, drawn by Elyse's performance.

Worried about being recognized, Richie quickly donned a mask and a

hat.

But Richie had underestimated the power of Elyse's music.

Soon, as one piece ended, Elyse found herself surrounded by a crowd.

"Bravo! Your music really touched my heart!"

"Are you a professional musician? What's your name? I'd love to look you up online." <

"Could you play one more piece? Your music is so captivating!"

Elyse was used to performing on stage, following a set list, and rarely interacted directly with her audience.

This was the first time she had been so close to her audience, and she found she enjoyed the direct communication.

Subconsciously, she scanned the crowd, looking for Richie.

Richie waved at her, giving her a nod to continue. With his hat and sunglasses, he was confident

no one would recognize him.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Elyse played several more pieces, each one stirring the emotions of

those listening, leaving them eager for more.

After performing three or four pieces, she thanked the crowd and left the park with Richie. Seeing Elyse's smile, Richie teased, "You no longer feel down, am I right?" Elyse was about to say she was feeling great, but as they approached the park's exit, they saw Jayden sitting in a wheelchair, Judy standing next to him.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

Elyse froze, her face falling.

Judy, noticing the man beside Elyse, almost couldn't contain her joy. "Ms. Lloyd, why don't you head home? Mr. Owen has been worried sick about you. He came looking for you himself. And who's this guy with you? Do you two know each other well?"

Elyse glanced at Judy, sensing the trap in her words.

She was about to say something when Richie strode up to Jayden, bending down in front of them. "Excuse me, are you Mr. Jayden Owen?" Richie asked enthusiastically.

Jayden looked at him coldly, not remembering Richie.

Richie said excitedly, "It's really you! I'm Richie Larson. I starred in three movies you invested in, all

of them hugely successful! But you stopped investing in the entertainment circle after that. I never

got the chance to work with you again," Richie said, trying to jog Jayden's memory.

Jayden remembered Richie after the reminder. "I'm not involved in the entertainment business anymore. Perhaps we could collaborate in the future."

Richie's eyes lit up. Jayden could be his future investor. He had to make sure to keep a good connection with him for his own future

Annoyed by Richie's talkative nature, Jayden looked at Elyse, showing his disapproval.

Elyse saw Jayden's reaction and felt uncomfortable. She pulled away from Richie.

"I have to go back now. Thank you so much for your help today," she said, genuinely grateful.

Richie grinned. "No problem. And thank you for helping me reconnect with Mr. Owen!"

Elyse didn't reply. She couldn't help but notice the way Richie looked at Jayden, like a hungry wolf eyeing its prey, ready to pounce.

Jayden couldn't bear it anymore. "Come back with me, Elyse."

Seeing the awkward exchange between Elyse and Jayden, Richie couldn't help but ask, "Are you two married? You seem like a real couple, a perfect match."
