Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband by Devocean

Chapter 358:

Hearing Jayden’s words, a wave of worry washed over Elyse. Pearce, appearing unfazed, asked casually, “What’s wrong? Are you expecting some punishment when you get home?”

With a heavy heart, Elyse sighed and replied, “He wants to invite you to a meal.”

Pearce took a drag of his cigarette, his face partially obscured by the smoke as he raised his eyebrows in surprise. “He wants to invite me to a meal?” he repeated.

Elyse nodded, feeling a strong need to convince Pearce not to accept. “Jayden sounded mad on the phone. If Pearce had gone, he could have been in trouble with Jayden,” she hesitated, searching for the right words, “Maybe you should…”

Pearce finished his cigarette with one last puff and stamped it in the ashtray. He grinned and interjected, “Sure, I haven’t had lunch yet. Can I pick the restaurant?”

Elyse was caught off guard. She hadn’t expected Pearce to accept so quickly. Her mouth fell open, and she was momentarily lost for words. Finally, with some reluctance, she agreed. She silently hoped that Jayden wouldn’t be too hostile towards Pearce.

After ending the call, Jayden quickly headed to the shopping mall where Elyse was waiting. Standing at the restaurant’s entrance, Elyse scanned the arriving crowd for Jayden. When she saw him, she rushed over, her eyes flickering with anxiety. “Are you still upset?”
