Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband by Devocean

Chapter 57:

It was understandable that Lanny cared deeply about Mabel being his daughter. But he didn’t treat Elyse the same way. What did she even mean to him? She couldn’t recall him ever considering her as his own child.

“You’re well aware of what happened between me and Theo, right?” she asked in a mocking tone. “Do you honestly think I can just tell him that?”

“Why not? I didn’t ask you to get back together with him, all you have to do is convince him to marry Mabel!” Lanny insisted.

Elyse’s anger flared up. “I am a married woman! What will Jayden think if I went looking for Theo?”

“Then take Jayden with you,” Lanny said dismissively. “It’s just as you said, you’re a couple. You can ask him to help you, right?”

Elyse was stunned by his audacity. He was really determined to use everything and everyone to help Mabel out of the mess she had made for herself.

When Elyse said nothing, Lanny’s expression turned vicious. “What? Why are you hesitating? You don’t even want to help your family out? I’m asking for one simple favor in return for raising you all these years, and you can’t even do it? It’s not like I’m forcing you to endanger yourself!”

Elyse took a deep breath and exhaled in a resigned sigh. “Fine. I’ll talk to Theo.”

Only then did Lanny’s face relax. “Good girl, I always knew you were the sweetest. You would never stand by and watch when your family needs you.”
