Bound Hearts: My Vows to My Disabled Spouse

Merlin's Intentions

Elyse's eyes widened in shock as she stared at Jayden.

He returned her gaze with a calm expression.

Was he really like a dog? He was literally biting her!

Refusing to be outdone, Elyse pinched Jayden's thigh again.

Despite the pain, Jayden, driven by his frustration with her boldness, bit her lip once

More.

The pain brought tears to her eyes. She groaned, struggling to break free.

Just then, Freddy arrived with a notice in hand, only to find Elyse moaning in the embrace of a muscular man, their lips locked in a kiss.

It was all too much to take in, especially in a public place.

Stunned for a few moments, Freddy turned away, trying to ignore the scene before him. However, remembering the notice he was supposed to deliver, he hesitantly turned back.

"This is the new notification, Elyse. I think it's important. You should take a look," Freddy said, one

hand covering his eyes, the other holding the notice as if he was ready to bolt.

Elyse had never felt so embarrassed, her mind went blank and she remained frozen in Jayden's

embrace.

Jayden loosened his hold, took the notice from Freddy, glanced over it a few times, and handed it

to Elyse. "Take a look," he urged.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

Peeking through his fingers, Freddy watched closely.

Why were they both dressed properly?

Realizing his misunderstanding, he sighed in relief.

Elyse stiffly took the notice, read it, and snapped to attention. "Gary Hank has pulled out of the competition!"

"It was completely unexpected," Freddy responded. "I heard that Grace Fuller and Bart Gino respectively paid a visit to Merlin. Although I am close to Bart, he declined to share any details about his meeting with the director. I have a feeling there's something suspicious going on." Standing up, Elyse murmured, "The notice was released because Merlin was worried Gary might change his mind. This way, Gary can't back out and keep campaigning, and Darren Reynolds will not face another rival."

She couldn't let Merlin's plan work. She needed to talk to Grace and

Bart.w

"Jayden, I have something to do. Go to the lounge and wait for me!"

Noticing the determination in her eyes, he waved his hand, indicating she should go ahead. With a smile, Elyse hurried away.

Seeing her departure, Freddy touched his nose awkwardly and said to Jayden, "! know you two are together, but could you keep it down a bit? This is a public place. You can save it for when you two get home."

Jayden glanced at him and replied, "You're overthinking it."

"You should feel lucky it was me who saw that. If it had been someone else, the rumors would be swirling by now," Freddy stated loudly.

Jayden said calmly, "You should feel lucky it was you here, or someone else would have got the chance to talk."

Freddy felt a chill as Jayden's gaze lingered one last time before leaving. He realized then just how precarious the situation had been.

After wandering for quite some time, Elyse spotted her first target, Bart, who was seated in the lounge cradling a violin and lost in thought.

up?"

"I know Merlin asked you to drop out of the election. I want you to refuse," she said.

"How do you know? I think he suggested it for my own good. Besides, I'm not even sure I can win." "Can you promise you'll be the concertmaster next year? Gary has already pulled out of the competition. He agreed to Merlin's terms, thinking he would be concertmaster on next year's tour. Allhe ended up with was empty promises," Elyse explained.

Stunned by this revelation, Bart then realized Merlin had spoken to Elyse as well. "Did he say the same to you?" he asked.

There was no guarantee either of them would be concertmaster next year.

Elyse's expression hardened. "Yes, but I turned him down. I want to compete. I want Cody to choose me!"

Jaden interjected in surprise. "So it's not just a baseless rumor that Cody is scouting for new talent?"

"It's true. That's why Merlin is so concerned about this competition. He wants us out of the picture, so Cody doesn't notice us," Elyse concluded firmly.
