Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband by Devocean

Chapter 239:

Elyse had just sat down and taken a sip of water when Corrie entered the private room, wine glass in hand and a smile on her face. As Corrie took a seat next to Jayden, Elyse couldn’t help but frown. The scent of Corrie’s perfume made Jayden grimace.

“Stay away from me.”

Corrie tried to hide her embarrassment behind a smile. “This perfume was a gift from you, remember?” she replied, glancing subtly at Elyse.

Elyse’s expression of disappointment didn’t go unnoticed by Corrie, who felt a surge of satisfaction. That was the look she was hoping for.

Jayden cut her off sharply. “You’re mistaken. I’ve never given you perfume.”

Ha! Peyton couldn’t hold back a snicker at Jayden’s blunt denial. Embarrassed but quick to shift the focus, Corrie asked, “So what’s the celebration tonight? Why is everyone here?”

Peyton cleared his throat, still suppressing his amusement. “Elyse just wrapped up her first performance as concertmaster. We’re celebrating her success.”

Elyse blushed under everyone’s gaze. Corrie caught the look of admiration in Jayden’s eyes and tightened her jaw. Having once played the role of Jayden’s girlfriend, albeit falsely, she could sense the stark difference in how he now treated Elyse compared to her.

She studied Elyse critically. Beyond her violin skills, Corrie saw nothing extraordinary about her. Yet Jayden’s eyes softened when they landed on Elyse. Could it really be love? With a scoff, Corrie doubted it internally. Could someone as detached as Jayden truly grasp the concept of love?
