Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband by Devocean

Chapter 973:

Feeling a pang of guilt from Louise’s words, Edward knew he wasn’t in the wrong; he understood who he truly cared for. Suddenly, a thought crossed his mind, and he said, “I’ve been swamped lately. I need a favor from you.”

Louise lifted her chin proudly at the mention of Edward needing her help. “What do you need?”

Edward replied earnestly, “I’m overwhelmed and can’t always look after Elyse. Since you have some free time, could you help take care of her when I’m not available?”

Fuming and feeling wronged, Louise struck Edward’s arm. “Have you lost your mind? You know how I feel about Elyse, and yet here you are, asking me to look after her. That’s really pushing it, Edward!”

Keeping his cool, Edward cheekily suggested, “If it bothers you to see me with Elyse, perhaps you should take over. That way, I’m spared the effort.”
