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.”
