Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband by Devocean

Chapter 262:

Jayden twirled the pen in his hand before placing it down and leaning back in his chair. He scrutinized Elyse and asked, “How much longer do you plan to be angry with me?”

Feeling frustrated by Jayden’s attitude, Elyse replied unhappily, “Do you think it’s all my fault? Am I getting upset for no reason?”

Jayden frowned. “Haven’t I assured you that you’ll always be my only woman? I can give you everything you could ever want. Why aren’t you content?”

Instinctively, Elyse wanted to convey that what she truly desired wasn’t material possessions or what Jayden thought was best for her. But she found herself unable to say it to him. What she really wanted was Jayden’s love. What she genuinely craved wasn’t to be a superficial addition to Jayden’s life but rather a true companion with whom she could share a real connection.

Yet their marriage had been based on practicality, each fulfilling their own needs. Jayden provided protection and support, while Elyse fulfilled her role as his wife, preserving his reputation.

It became clear to Elyse that her desires might have been too ambitious. She longed for Jayden’s affection, but their relationship was founded on practicality rather than passion. In her view, Jayden had fulfilled his marital duties adequately, while her longing for affection seemed excessive.
