Bound Hearts: My Vows to My Disabled Spouse

Lanny slammed his fist on the table in absolute rage. He rushed over to Mabel and demanded, "He didn't promise you anything?"

Mabel was frightened at this point. She didn't understand the severity of her situation. All she knew was that she had offered her virginity to Theo under the pretext of getting everything Elyse had once had. Not once had she considered the possibility that Theo would refuse to marry her. Elyse sighed and joined them on the sofa. "How did you get involved with Theo in the first place?" Mabel bristled. She couldn't say that she was the one who had invited Theo, she would sound like a slut

"Why are you asking me that? Why are you so concerned about the matter between Theo and me? I'm telling you right now, he is already mine! You can never take him away!"

Elyse burst into laughter. "Oh, God, you are so stupid. No way Theo will see in a fool like you." "What do you mean by that?" Mabel huffed. "You're jealous of me, aren't you?"

"Yeah, you are right. I am jealous of your obsession that led you to sleeping with a man who doesn't cherish you at all." Elyse shrugged and walked back to Jayden's side. Her expression was perfectly detached. She was no longer interested in helping them with this mess. In fact, she wanted nothing to do with it.

"Cheap whore!" Lanny suddenly slapped Mabel across the face.

Mabel was stunned. She still didn't know what she had done wrong.

Why was her father so mad? Couldn't he tell Theo to marry her? They could just force him if heThis is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

refused.

The solution was very simple. Surely, her father would be able to pull it of.

Glenda shrank back and covered her mouth, afraid that she herself would provoke Lanny further. She couldn't really do anything more than to look at her daughter with pity, even when Mabel was getting beaten up.

"Why was I given such an ignorant fool for a daughter? Did you think that Theo Ward would marry you just because you slept with him? Have you forgotten who he is, huh? Who are we compared to him? He's way out of your league!"

Lanny's words made Mabel's heart ache in a way that surpassed the pain she felt on her cheek. "All want is to be his wife! Sleeping with him is the only way I could think of. So what if he doesn't want to marry me now? That doesn't mean that he won't change his mind in the future!"

Elyse latched on to Mabel's last statement. "Are you saying that Theo asked you to wait while he thinks about it?"

<"Yes! Exactly!"

"Then why are you in such a pathetic state? Did he say no?"

Mabel's indignation was instantly replaced by another bout of sadness.

"No, I don't believe it. Someone must be plotting to pull us apart. He said I was a good match, and

that any man would be lucky to call me his wife!"

And then she broke down yet again, her sobs and wails filling the room.< Lanny felt the urge to hit her again, but he stopped himself. He couldn't act so callously in front of Jayden, after all. Glenda reached out and held her crying daughter. "Oh, my poor dear. What should we do now?" Lanny sighed and rubbed his throbbing temples. He risked a glance at Jayden, but the man remained stoic and silent. After thinking about it for a while, Lanny asked to speak privately with Elyse in his study.

Elyse was blunt. "What do you want to say?" she asked as soon as the door clicked shut behind her.

"As you may have surmised, your sister has fallen for Theo's deceit."

Elyse begged to disagree. She wasn't convinced that Mabel was a victim here, especially since

she wasn't telling them exactly what had happened. No one knew the details of the incident, apart

Besides, even though Theo was the scum of the earth, Mabel wasn't that far behind him. One

thing the two had in common was how efficient they were at hiding their true colors.

In some respect, Mabel was just like Lanny. They were greedy creatures who only cared about themselves.

"Don't say it like that," Elyse said wryly. "We still don't know everything that happened that day." "Yes, yes, you're quite right," Lanny nodded. "I was hoping you could discuss it with Theo, see where he stands on this matter. After all, you used to be a couple."

Elyse didn't fail to notice the cunning glint in the man's eyes. "You want me to ask him what happened that day?"

"Well, I also want you to persuade Theo to marry Mabel. She isn't such a bad choice for a Wife."

It was then that Elyse finally understood. As furious as Lanny was about Mabel's actions, he still wanted to protect his precious daughter.
