Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband by Devocean

Chapter 261:

After Theo departed, Freda sank into deep contemplation in the chair. She discerned Theo’s sincerity; his words weren’t a jest but earnest truth. His desire to reconcile with Elyse despite her marital status resonated deeply. Yet, Freda grappled with discomfort; relinquishing Theo wasn’t an option. She believed in his inherent goodness. In that moment, the phone’s ring interrupted her thoughts; it was Zandra.

Apologizing profusely, Zandra lamented, “Freda, I’m sorry for Theo’s actions. I failed to rein him in, and I regret the distress he’s caused you. I’ve scolded him on your behalf and even gave him a slap to bring him to his senses. I won’t condone his behavior.”

Freda was taken aback. She originally believed that Theo did not wish to see her when he approached her wearing a mask. “Mrs. Ward,” Freda began, “whether or not you discipline him is inconsequential now. Theo and I were incompatible.”

“That’s not true. Don’t give up so easily,” Zandra implored. “I want no one but you as my daughter-in-law.”

After Theo left home, tranquility had enveloped Zandra. Contemplating Theo’s potential reunion with Elyse, Zandra pondered the Owen family’s response. Despite Jayden’s diminished influence, he still bore the Owen name. Theo’s actions would sting the Owen family’s pride. Regardless of Elyse’s standing within the Owen family, Theo’s actions would sow discord. Though the Ward family held sway, they paled in comparison to the Owens. Zandra hesitated to jeopardize the Ward family’s reputation over Elyse. Thus, the alliance between the Jimenez and Ward families must proceed unhindered.

Zandra reassured her. “But reconsider, Freda. Theo is emotional and persistent. If his relationship with Elyse seems to be going nowhere, wouldn’t it be a positive turn if he directed his feelings towards
