Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband by Devocean

Chapter 44:

Theo was in a frenzy at home, startling the servants with his behavior. When Zandra Ward, his mother, stepped out of her room, she caught him in the act of smashing a glass. She was taken aback. Her son usually kept his emotions under wraps. Even under stress, he maintained a calm demeanor and seldom showed signs of irritation. Sensing that something was amiss, she instructed the maid to clean up the shattered glass, then summoned Theo to the study.

“How have I taught you? No matter how angry, you mustn’t show it. You’re to be the head of our family. Displaying such emotions gives your enemies insight into your weaknesses, does it not?” she reminded him.

Theo massaged his forehead. “I’m sorry, Mom. I acted too impulsively today.”

Zandra shook her head, took a sip of water, and pressed, “What’s troubling you?”

Theo remained silent.

Persisting, she probed, “You mentioned a girl got married. Who? And why does it concern you?”

“Forget it, Mom. It’s my issue,” Theo dismissed.

Zandra frowned, trying to piece together the cause of his distress. Then a name popped into her mind. “Is it Elyse?”

Theo’s irritation flared.
