Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband by Devocean

Chapter 12:

Carrying the medicine kit, Peyton exited the study and made his way to the living room. He flopped onto the sofa and called out, “Driscoll, the snacks.”

Driscoll quickly approached with a tray of snacks and announced, “Dr. Ellis, I prepared these just for you.”

Peyton sat up, accepted the snacks, and began to vent. “Jayden is really insufferable. He never lets me have snacks at his place even though he knows how much I enjoy them.”

Noticing the shift in Peyton’s demeanor, Elyse asked with a puzzled look, “Dr. Ellis, what’s wrong?”

“It’s your husband’s fault!” Peyton exclaimed angrily. “He irritated me, so I had to step out for some snacks.”

Driscoll chimed in, “Dr. Ellis often gets upset after the examinations because Mr. Owen never cooperates. He finds that snacks help calm his nerves.”

Understanding washed over Elyse, and she sat down on the sofa with a heavy heart. Observing her concern, Peyton offered her a bag of chips and questioned, “What do you see in Jayden?
