Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband by Devocean

Chapter 354:

Upon leaving her home and arriving at the shopping mall, Elyse serendipitously discovered a cozy café and decided to settle in. She treated herself to a caramel latte, savoring each sip with deliberate slowness. In the midst of her thoughts, a familiar voice broke through, startling Elyse.

“Hello, Ms. Lloyd. Mind if I join you?”

Elyse, taken aback, looked up to see Pearce standing before her. “What a coincidence to run into you,” she exclaimed, a hint of surprise in her voice.

“Yeah, what a coincidence,” Pearce echoed with a smile, seating himself gracefully opposite Elyse. He then beckoned the waiter for an iced Americano before turning to Elyse with a quizzical gaze. “What have you been up to lately? I visited Celestial Sounds Symphony in hopes of seeing you, only to learn that you had departed.”

Elyse nodded somberly. “I was dismissed. There’s no recourse at this point,” she replied with a smile tinged with resignation.

“Why did they dismiss you?” Pearce inquired, his curiosity genuine.
