Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband by Devocean

Chapter 274:

These days, Elyse spent most of her time rehearsing with the orchestra. As the designated concertmaster for their upcoming performance, she dedicated herself to intense practice sessions. Today, just as she was about to finish practicing, she received a call from Glenda urging her to come home.

Having not spoken to her for a significant period and currently entangled in a disagreement with Mabel, Elyse felt even less inclined to visit. She massaged her forehead wearily and chose her words with care, replying, “I’ve been swamped with work and haven’t had the chance to come back. If it’s something important, we can discuss it over the phone.”

Upon hearing Elyse’s hesitation, Glenda’s voice cracked with emotion. “Since you got married, it’s been ages. I miss you terribly. Please come home for dinner.”

This caught Elyse off guard. It was the first instance of Glenda expressing her longing to see her. This rare display of maternal affection touched Elyse, softening her initial reluctance. After a brief pause, she made up her mind to go. Glenda provided an address and instructed her to come there.

After ending the call, Elyse checked the location, which turned out to be a hotel. She surmised that they would be dining at its restaurant and didn’t dwell on it further.

She got into her car, directed the driver to the hotel, and phoned Driscoll to inform him she wouldn’t be joining him for dinner tonight. The driver glanced at the address, puzzled about why Elyse was heading to a hotel, but he drove there regardless.

Upon arriving, Elyse entered the hotel and located the exclusive dining room. Inside, she found Glenda sitting alone. Elyse placed her purse down and took a seat, casually inquiring, “Where’s Dad?”

With a warm smile, Glenda reached out to hold Elyse’s hand, her tone affectionate. “He’s busy. Let’s not bother him. It’s been a long time since just the two of us had a chance to chat and eat together. I’m not even sure how you’ve been doing lately.”
