Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband by Devocean

Chapter 217:

He said in a resigned tone, “I know it’s hard for you to believe, but trust me, I’m not interested in Corrie.” Elyse asked calmly, “You are not interested in her?

He gave a big nod. “Indeed, you are my wife.” He was certain the rest of his life would be spent with her as his wife.
