Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband by Devocean

Chapter 229:

After saying that coldly, Elyse left without a backward glance. Mabel watched Elyse’s departing figure and cried out in frustration, a helpless release of her anger.

Elyse, unfazed, heard Mabel’s curses fading behind her. Disappointment in her family had been growing for some time. She exited the building and spotted Jayden in his wheelchair, casually smoking a cigarette and flicking his fingers in her direction. To Elyse, his gesture seemed akin to summoning a pet. She hurried over, puzzled, and asked, “Why are you here to pick me up?”

Jayden lifted his eyes, took her hand, and gave it a squeeze. “We received an anonymous package at home today; it’s addressed to you.”

Elyse’s confusion deepened. “A package for me? What’s inside?”

“A ruby necklace,” Jayden replied, pausing before adding with a hint of jealousy, “The card said it was a late birthday gift.”

Elyse was taken aback. “A birthday gift?” She recalled that her birthday had indeed passed a few days ago, but the rigorous rehearsal and upcoming national tour had made her forget.

Jayden, seeing her stunned expression, felt no anger. “Get in the car,” he instructed softly, then added, “It’s my fault. I should have been more thoughtful than a stranger.”
