Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband by Devocean

Chapter 221:

Stunned, Elyse stared at Jayden. Did he know she truly cared for him?

Tess was embarrassed by Jayden’s words. Her eyes narrowed as she gave him a brittle look. She could tell Elyse’s impact on him was beginning to get stronger, but it was of no benefit to the Owen family. Though Tess was silent, she was lost in thought, seeking a scheme to deal with Elyse.

Jayden pretended not to notice her demeanor. He opted to demonstrate some respect considering that it was Bryce’s birthday that day. He handed Bryce’s birthday gift to him, saying, “Happy birthday.”

Bryce stopped crying as soon as he received the gift and happily tore the package open. There was a car key. For the very first time, he looked at Jayden warmly. “Thank you, Jayden. I really like the gift.” He was so happy that he couldn’t wait to go try out his new car after dinner. “Not bad, at least you care about Bryce,” Tess said.

Elyse looked at the trio as they enjoyed that momentary family time. She didn’t want to interrupt them. Just then, her stomach grumbled. She was famished. She quietly pressed her stomach as she took a bite from an apple.

Jayden glanced at her, turned, and asked, “Can we have food now?”

“Not so soon. Someone is yet to make the company complete,” Tess said.
