Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband by Devocean

Chapter 204:

Theo realized, after much reflection, that his feelings for Elyse were deeper than he had initially thought. Yet he couldn’t understand why. What was it about Elyse, a woman from an ordinary family with ordinary abilities, that captivated him so deeply? When had he fallen for her? He once asked Mabel what being in love felt like. According to her, it seemed he didn’t truly love Elyse. But if he didn’t love Elyse, why did he feel so devastated each quiet night at the mere thought of her marrying Jayden? Theo found himself unable to decipher his own emotions. He was preoccupied with making money yet confused about his feelings.

Regarding his potential marriage to Freda, his initial thoughts mirrored Zandra’s; it was a lucrative arrangement. However, he soon questioned his perspective. Was marriage merely a transaction? Should he really be discussing interests and resources with the woman he would spend his life with? Shouldn’t his wife be the love of his life? For the first time, Theo pondered deeply about something other than finances: love, which he had previously deemed useless and trivial.

Upon arriving at the restaurant, Theo let the waiter lead the way while Freda followed, admiring the establishment’s stylish decor. Instead of taking the menu himself, Theo gestured for the waiter to hand it directly to Freda. Resting her chin on her hands, Freda smiled and declined, “Isn’t this the perfect time for you to learn my preferences? Why not take this chance?”

Theo observed Freda for a moment before accepting the menu. He flipped through it and inquired, “Are there any foods you particularly dislike?” After Freda listed some, Theo selected several dishes. Freda nodded approvingly, “Well chosen. I really like what you’ve ordered.”
