Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband by Devocean

Chapter 1176:

After her conversation, Elyse quickly made her exit, steering clear of Garret.

Garret propped himself against the doorframe, smirking as he watched her swift departure. “Her reaction clearly shows she’s got a thing for Jayden.”

Louise’s voice emerged from behind him. “Give her a break. She’s really confused at the moment. Even if you confronted her about her feelings for Jayden, she wouldn’t be able to give you an answer.”

Garret closed the door and turned back to the room. Louise sat ensconced in her silk robe, her legs and arms crossed, exuding an effortless regality.

Garret walked over and cradled her face gently in his hands, tilting it to meet his gaze.

“What were you and Elyse discussing?” he inquired. “She’s been notably somber since then.”

Louise met his eyes and posed her question. “She believes I would be a superior ruler compared to both of my brothers. What are your thoughts on that?”

Garret hesitated, then responded, “Is ruling something you actually aspire to?”

“I’m unsure,” Louise admitted. She then continued, “What I am sure of is that I have no desire to abide by Chesney’s command to marry Edward.”
