Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband by Devocean

Chapter 246:

Elyse didn’t recognize the man, yet he seemed familiar. Seeing her puzzled expression, he introduced himself. “I’m Egan Brooks. Pleased to meet you.”

Egan Brooks, brother of Xander Brooks and Hiram Brooks. It suddenly hit Elyse that she hadn’t encountered anyone from the Brooks family since Xander’s wedding.

Noticing Elyse’s silence, Egan raised his voice deliberately, saying, “I’ve heard that Jayden loves you very much. So where is he today? Does this mean he doesn’t really love you?”

At that moment, Kieran stepped forward, swirling her wine glass and said playfully, “That’s not necessarily the case. Everyone knows Jayden has rarely appeared at social events since his accident. He even threw this birthday party especially for his wife, which clearly shows his affection.”

Egan said, “Oh, then where is Jayden? Why isn’t he here?”

Observing the exchange, Elyse sensed the hostility from the two. She clenched her teeth. It seemed like these two were intent on making a spectacle of her in front of the guests, especially with Jayden absent. Their aim was to turn both Jayden and her into a laughingstock.

Taking a deep breath, Elyse said calmly, “Today is my birthday party. I’m the one celebrating, so why are you so focused on Jayden?”
