Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband by Devocean

Chapter 72:

The corners of Elyse’s mouth twitched. Was Jayden driving his cousin away now?

Brook seemed to have expected Jayden’s reaction, though. He grinned and said, “Come on, Jayden. I’ve only been here for a short while. I’d like to stay and chat with you.”

“I don’t think we have anything else to talk about,” Jayden said coldly.

“What do you mean? I am highly curious about your married life,” Brook leaned back, his smile still in place. “Since you got married, my parents have been pestering me to go on dates. They want me to find them a daughter-in-law from a notable family.”

“What’s wrong with that?” Jayden replied dryly. “You’re already thirty, aren’t you? It’s about time you got yourself a wife.”

Brook heaved a long sigh. “I suppose you’re right. But they keep finding me all these brilliant candidates. I may have graduated from a top university, but I am fully aware of my own shortcomings. Do you think it’s all right for me to marry someone so excellent?”

There was a pause, but before Jayden could answer, Brook plowed on. “I’m really jealous of you, you know. You probably didn’t have such problems when you married Elyse, huh?”

Elyse froze in shock. What was Brook saying exactly? Did he find her so beneath Jayden to say that her husband never had to worry about being worthy of her? She was quite outstanding, in fact, in her own right. She had always been at the top of her class since she was a child, and she had graduated with honors from a renowned music university.
