Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband by Devocean

Chapter 38:

Elyse rolled her eyes at Rebekah and departed with Freddy. They hailed a taxi and headed to the restaurant. Upon their arrival, they entered the bustling hall and encountered Lizzie and several classmates. They immediately launched into lively conversation.

Lizzie blinked and turned to Elyse, feigning innocence. “Elyse, everyone seems curious. May I share your story with them?”

She preferred to remain silent about the matter. The wedding had been a humiliating ordeal marred by betrayal—it was a nightmare for her. Clearly, Lizzie aimed to embarrass her
