Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband by Devocean

Chapter 4:

As Elyse descended the stairs to the villa’s entrance, Driscoll approached her with concern. “It’s quite late. Where are you off to? Shall I arrange a car for you?”

“No thanks, I’ll be back soon.”

Driscoll watched her depart before heading to the study. Elyse, having agreed to meet Theo, called a taxi and was soon en route. Fifteen minutes later, she entered a coffee shop and instantly noticed Theo, who was in high spirits, busy texting on his phone. A flicker of sarcasm crossed her eyes as she approached and sat across from him.

Theo looked up, his expression souring. “Why are you so late? Do you have any idea how long I’ve been waiting?”

Staring back at him, Elyse felt a chill. They had been together for a long time, yet he was always domineering toward her, a stark contrast to his demeanor with Kaelyn. She had once loved him, believing she could endure anything. Only today had she realized how foolish that was. If she didn’t love herself, how could she expect anyone else to love her?

“If you don’t want to wait, you can leave,” Elyse retorted icily.

Theo, taken aback by her response, grew visibly more upset. “You’re holding a grudge about what happened at the wedding, aren’t you? I get why you’re upset, but can’t you be more understanding and reasonable? I left because Kaelyn was in dire straits—she was depressed and contemplating suicide.”
