Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband by Devocean

Chapter 377:

Elyse’s brows furrowed deeply. “Why is it automatically assumed that any man seen with me must be romantically involved with me?” Her retort crackled with a blend of incredulity and disgust. “It seems like you’re the one with a twisted imagination.”

Kaelyn felt a surge of frustration at Elyse’s newfound boldness. In the past, Elyse had been a pushover, easily swayed and eager to please. Kaelyn could have played her like a fiddle, but now it seemed Elyse had grown a backbone.

Gavin, intrigued by the tension, set his phone aside and chimed in. “Do you two have some sort of history?”

“No, she’s more like my nemesis,” Elyse retorted impatiently.

Gavin, oblivious to their past, glanced between them and offered a pragmatic reminder. “Stay focused on what’s important. Don’t waste energy on insignificant people.”

Elyse nodded in agreement. “Got it, noted.”

With her arms crossed, Kaelyn shot them a cold glare as they entered the elevator. Suddenly struck by inspiration, Kaelyn swiftly dialed Theo’s number. As Kaelyn heard the busy tone, she wasn’t surprised in the slightest. Theo must have blacklisted her, she reasoned. Casting a quick glance at a nearby staff member, she extended her hand. “Could you lend me your phone? I need to make a call,” she requested.

The staff member, sensing the urgency in her demeanor, handed over his device without hesitation. With deft fingers, Kaelyn dialed Theo’s number once more, her heart skipping a beat as the call connected without rejection.
