Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband by Devocean

Chapter 727:

Elyse’s nerves tightened. Edward’s demeanor was like a caged animal, ready to lash out if provoked. Yet, with no chocolate cake in sight at the moment, he seemed relatively calm, and Elyse could momentarily relax.

Elyse and Edward enjoyed a surprisingly pleasant rapport, their conversation about music creating an unusual yet harmonious connection.

Edward raised an eyebrow, his tone teasing. “No, I only know that the one who grabs it first claims it. It should be obvious.”
