Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband by Devocean

Chapter 233:

After bidding Cody farewell, Elyse returned home with a troubled expression. Jayden glanced at her and asked, “Did someone pick on you again?” As Peyton heard her approaching, he turned and offered her a cupcake. “Feeling down? Have some cake, it might cheer you up.”

Elyse sat next to Jayden with a solemn look, accepted a warm towel from Driscoll, wiped her hands, and questioned, “What brings you here?” Peyton huffed and rolled his eyes. “Can’t I just drop by for dinner?” “Of course you can,” Elyse reassured him.

Jayden passed a cupcake to her and explained, “His vacation’s almost over. He’s here for one last free meal before returning to work.” Taking a bite of his cake, Peyton chimed in, “Actually, I came to share some juicy gossip with you.”

Intrigued, she leaned in. “What kind of gossip?” Peyton’s eyes lit up as he narrated, “Just a few days ago, I saw Corrie on a blind date while I was out for dinner. She’s been at the same restaurant for blind dates three days in a row.”

Jayden elaborated, “Her family owns a chain of restaurants, including a few upscale ones. It’s not surprising to see Corrie having dates at her family’s restaurant.” Peyton managed a smile and said, “Three blind dates in three days. Is Corrie that eager to tie the knot?”

Jayden replied nonchalantly, “Her grandfather’s seriously ill. He’s had three life-saving injections this month alone, costing 860 thousand each. Corrie’s got ambition. If she marries before her grandfather passes, she stands to inherit a lot more.”

“Is that a Bates family secret? How did you come by that information? They’ve never publicized anything, and I stumbled upon Corrie’s blind dates purely by chance,” Peyton remarked.
