Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband by Devocean

Chapter 176:

Elyse looked at Bryce, who was snoring on the sofa, her eyes filled with complex emotions. Recalling the previous night’s events, she was unsure how to approach him. It was the first time she had witnessed someone wet his pants out of fear.

Jayden led her to the dining room, advising, “Leave him be. Hurry and eat. You’re going to be late.” Elyse shot him a sharp look. If it hadn’t been for their sexual encounters last night, she wouldn’t have overslept.

Noticing the reproach in her eyes, Jayden handed her a glass of milk. “Drink this to soothe your throat. You sound hoarse.” Elyse startled, instinctively touched her throat, and glanced around anxiously at the servants. Thankfully, none had overheard Jayden’s comment, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

“Why are you so shy?” Jayden couldn’t help but be amused by her reaction, finding it increasingly interesting. After a brief look at him, Elyse took the milk and a sandwich, retorting, “I’m not as daring as you.” She ate quickly and left home in a rush.

An hour later, Bryce woke up, yawned, and asked Driscoll for breakfast. Jayden, sitting on the opposite sofa reading the newspaper, remarked casually, “You want breakfast? Aren’t you worried about being late?”

Bryce grabbed his phone to check the time. It was only thirty minutes until half past nine, the start of the workday. He couldn’t afford to be late. If his performance at work was poor, his grandpa wouldn’t consider him a viable candidate for the leader of the company.

Panicking, he hurried to change his clothes. “Jayden, what should I do? Should I take a day off? Maybe I can skip today and go to work tomorrow?”
