Chapter 42:

Elyse wore a look of pride. As Lizzie observed her for a long moment, she realized Elyse wasn’t just putting on an act. She truly felt proud. This revelation shocked her. Then she remembered the rumor that Elyse had married a disabled man, which made her laugh mockingly.

“Come on, everyone! Here comes Elyse’s husband!” Lizzie called out, flinging the door open and drawing all eyes to them. She was determined to have everyone witness this.

Soon, Elyse and Jayden found themselves encircled by the crowd. Seeing Jayden in his wheelchair, someone asked with a hint of disbelief, “Elyse, he really is your husband? You’re actually married to someone disabled?”

Without any hesitation, Elyse nodded affirmatively. “Yes, he is my husband. We’ve tied the knot.”

The room fell silent, leaving everyone momentarily at a loss for words. One blunt former classmate blurted out, “Are you joking? Even if Theo didn’t want to marry you, marrying a disabled man seems extreme. Have you lost your senses?”

“Yes, when I heard the news, I thought it was fake. I never expected you would actually go through with it. It seems so rash,” another added.

As the criticism mounted, Elyse had enough. “That’s enough! It’s my decision. I’ve thought it through, and it’s none of your business,” she declared firmly.

She then turned to Lizzie and reminded her, “You lost the bet. You have to drink five bottles of wine. Keep your promise.”
