Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband by Devocean

Chapter 229:

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.

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

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.
