Bound Hearts: My Vows to My Disabled Spouse

Chapter 68



"It has to be her!" Elyse exclaimed, her fists punching the air in anger. "Why does she always have to resort to dirty tricks? Why can't she just compete honestly?"

Jayden watched her transition from feeling down to being spirited in seconds, and he sighed, half amused by her resilience.

"Perhaps your acute gastrospasm was caused by holding back too much. Will you do that again next time?"

"Next time, I'm not drinking any water!" Elyse responded firmly, her lips pressed together in frustration at being set up by Rebekah once more. However, her spirits were quickly buoyed by the memory of her flawless performance and the approving nod from

Wanda.

At that moment, her phone chimed.

Jayden noticed the caller ID-it was Lanny. As soon as Elyse picked up, Lanny's voice, irritable and anxious, filled the space. "Elyse, could you try to arrange another meeting with Theo? I'd like to accompany you to discuss Mabel's issue."

Hearing this, Elyse couldn't hide her exasperation. "Dad, Theo isn't going to marry Mabel. Please accept it."

"But Mabel wants to marry him. You need to support her as her sister!"

Lanny called his tactics shameless and unreasonable.

To Elyse, this was typical of him.

Jayden cut off Elyse as she was about to speak, brought the phone to his lips, and spoke coldly. "Lanny, what do you think of my wife?"

"Mr. Owen... are you with Elyse right now?" Lanny stammered, losing his composure upon hearing Jayden's voice.

Jayden ignored his hesitant query, his tone chilling further. "You know Elyse had a past with Theo before she became my wife. Yet, you still pushed her to help your useless daughter. Are you hoping to leverage that past to influence Theo?"

"Mr. Owen, that wasn't my intention. I just wanted to-"

Lanny tried to explain, but Jayden cut him off with an icy rebuff, "It's just her virginity. If that's so important to you, I can recommend a hospital. But if you keep dragging Elyse into this, I assure you, your daughter Mabel's reputation will suffer."

Lanny, sensing the threat in Jayden's words, quickly backpedaled. "I wouldn't dare trouble Elyse further. It's Mabel's mistake. I'll handle it appropriately."

After hanging up, Jayden turned to Elyse, who was looking at him admiringly. "You can't even

handle a scoundrel."

Elyse shrugged. "Annoying as he is, he's still my father."

I don't think you resemble his daughter at all," Jayden retorted irritably.

"Many have said that, but I can't help it. It's genetics," she replied, taking her phone back with a smile.

"Anyway, I'm sure I'll make it through the first round and join the performance team. If I get through the final selection, I'll be the principal violinist."

Jayden chuckled. "If you become the concertmaster, I'll organize a solo concert for you."

"Hold you to that!" Elyse beamed and squinted her eyes joyfully, a sight that gradually filled Jayden with happiness.

After ending the call, Lanny was in his study when Mabel rushed in.

"Did Elyse agree? Will she take me to see Theo?" Her eyes shimmered with hope. She hadThis content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Catching sight of her love-struck expression, Lanny's temper flared, and he rebuked her sharply.

"How can you even suggest that? Do you realize the trouble you've caused? Don't you understand your position? He doesn't care for you at all!"

"Nonsense! Theo wouldn't treat me like that!" Mabel retorted defiantly.

"Wouldn't he? He didn't even pick up when I called. He's blocked my number!" Lanny exclaimed, slamming his hand on the table in frustration.

"You can't reach him, but Elyse can! If she calls Theo, he'll definitely answer," Mabel insisted.

"Enough! She's married to Jayden now. Stop bringing up Theo, Lanny retorted, shaking his head as if to clear it. He seemed resolute when he added, "Your mother and I will find someone suitable for you. Prepare yourself to get married and forget about Theo."

"No! I will marry Theo. I must!" Mabel countered, her voice escalating to a cry. She even began a hunger strike in protest. However, Lanny remained unmoved by her actions. The Lloyd household was engulfed in turmoil over the following days.
