Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband by Devocean

Chapter 88:

With a sudden realization, the maid turned to find Elyse looking lost. Sensing her mistake, she hastened to reassure her. “Please don’t dwell on it. That’s all in the past. You’re his wife now, and he’s devoted to you.” Elyse bit her lip, her silence betraying her inner turmoil.

Yet the pink scarf in the collection room continued to prick at her heart, a constant reminder of Jayden’s past. Seeing Elyse’s distress, the maid hurriedly attempted to console her. “Please don’t be disheartened. The past is just that — past.”

But the weight of the past lingered heavily in Elyse’s thoughts. Why had Theo left after a mere phone call from his past love Kaelyn? And why couldn’t Shaun muster the courage to turn down Dolores? Despite Jayden marrying her, doubts crept in. She knew she should focus on making their present life joyful, but the nagging voice in her mind persisted. What if Jayden chooses his former lover like Theo and Shaun did? What would you do then?

Elyse kept telling herself that they were content together now, and there was no need for jealousy to rear its head.

The maid tried to comfort Elyse again, but Elyse cut her off. “I’m fine. Put my motorcycle away. Let’s head out.” With a forced smile, Elyse suppressed her emotions and turned to leave the collection room.

Over the next two days, her mood remained sour. She kept busy, leaving early and returning late, purposely avoiding any encounters with Jayden. Though Jayden noticed her behavior, he attributed it to her anger over the confiscated motorcycle.

As Jayden’s grandfather’s seventieth birthday approached, Elyse adorned herself in a purple dress Jayden had selected and accompanied him to his grandpa’s place.
