Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband by Devocean

Chapter 640:

The evening unfolded in a local bar, where Jayden, already nursing his second drink, awaited Peyton. Despite the setting being casual, the atmosphere was anything but relaxed. Peyton, no longer confined by his cast but still using a wheelchair, wheeled into the bar with caution.

Peyton approached Jayden and took a seat next to him, grabbing a bottle and cracking it open. “Why the sudden call? Missing company? You have Elyse, don’t you? Why drag us out?” he asked with a smile.

Jayden ignored the question and inquired instead, “Where’s Clive? When’s he showing up?”

Peyton took a hearty gulp from his bottle. “Caught up in a last-minute meeting, but he’ll swing by later,” he replied, pausing as he caught the troubled expression on Jayden’s face.

He leaned in, concern evident. “Everything alright, buddy? You and Elyse haven’t been at it again, have you? It’s none of my business, but she’s still on the mend. You guys shouldn’t be fighting.”

Jayden’s expression darkened, his brows knitting together. “It wasn’t me who started it. Elyse is the one stirring things up. No matter what I do, it’s never good enough for her. She’s always dissatisfied.”

Peyton, sipping his drink, threw a half-teasing, half-serious comment back. “Maybe you’re just not doing enough, huh?”

It was hard for Jayden to tell if Peyton was joking or not. “Are you even hearing me? It doesn’t matter what I do; she’s never pleased.”
