Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband by Devocean

Chapter 247:

Egan and Kieran were rather relentless in their demeanor towards Elyse. Peyton, unable to bear the situation any longer, stepped forward to her defense. “This celebration is for Elyse’s birthday. Why persist in seeking Jayden?”

Sensing the need to take charge, Elyse halted Peyton’s intervention with a poised gesture. She recognized that resolving the issue lay squarely on her shoulders; failure would only make her a laughingstock, as the two men undoubtedly anticipated.

Summoning the regal strength within her, Elyse projected an air of authority. “I extend courtesy to you if you are here to offer genuine well wishes. However, if your presence is solely to seek Jayden in the guise of celebrating my birthday, I request your patience in the lounge. I shall arrange a meeting with him at an appropriate time.”

Her gaze swept across the assembly with unwavering resolve. “For those keen on meeting Jayden, kindly accompany these gentlemen.”

Following a brief pause, a guest spoke up. “I’m here solely to extend my birthday wishes, Mrs. Owen, with no ulterior motive.”

Others in attendance echoed similar sentiments. As more guests voiced their intentions, Kieran and Egan, adamant about meeting Jayden, found themselves isolated.

Recognizing the inopportune moment to cause further disruption, Kieran relented. “In Jayden’s absence, what more can be said? Mrs. Owen, happy birthday.”

Though Elyse inwardly bristled at Kieran’s sarcasm, she refrained from retaliation. Confronting Kieran would only serve to underscore Jayden’s absence from her birthday celebration.
