Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband by Devocean

Chapter 49:

The discussion among her classmates sobered Lizzie considerably. Moments ago, she had been beside herself and couldn’t fathom why she had acted so impulsively. Now, she was regaining her composure, finding herself in an awkward position.

Jayden smoothed his jacket and inspected the red wine stains, realizing the jacket was beyond repair. He gazed at Lizzie’s alarmed expression and asked in a flat tone, “How do you plan to resolve this?”

Elyse gently touched the back of Jayden’s hand, signaling him not to intervene. She sharply addressed Lizzie, “Lizzie Robinson, did you intend to embarrass me?”

“No, I didn’t. I just wanted to have a toast and move past our old quarrels,” Lizzie protested. She knew she couldn’t confess to doing it deliberately. With a sorrowful look, she pleaded, “Elyse, your husband is wealthy. It’s only a jacket. Can’t you ask him to overlook this for old times’ sake, since we were classmates?”

Elyse’s irritation flared, and she burst out laughing. “Whether intentional or not, you’ve ruined my husband’s jacket. His wealth isn’t just conjured up. Why should he overlook your actions?”

“You are wealthy yet so petty. Fine, I’ll pay for the jacket, whatever the cost,” Lizzie retorted, her anger evident.

Elyse sneered, “Can you afford it? My fiancé is wealthy. He makes a million a year. I’ll ask him to cover it.”

Lizzie declared, gathering her courage. Even if her fiancé was prepared to pay, it would be a difficult conversation for her. Money was paramount to him, and she often had to negotiate at length just to get some spending money.
