Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband by Devocean

Chapter 1187:

Jayden regarded her with an amused smirk. “Didn’t think you’d be so thoughtful, even washing my clothes.”

“Thoughtful? No chance. I just can’t stand filth in my space. Don’t get any ideas. We’re not about to make nice over something as trivial as laundry. Understood?” She glared, her eyes narrowed, then turned back toward the base, her stride steady and sure.

Jayden caught up with her, concern creeping into his tone. “You just shot someone. Are you alright? First kills can be hard, gnawing at your conscience.”

Elyse shrugged, mulling it over. “Before I fired, that mercenary had his gun aimed straight at me—maybe at Amanda, who knows. Either way, my life was on the line. So…” She paused, letting the silence hang. “If someone’s trying to kill me, I won’t hesitate to strike back. Isn’t that how you operate in combat?”

“Exactly,” Jayden replied, pride softening his gaze. “And you handled it well.” He reached over, ruffling her hair gently.

Elyse scoffed and shook him off, feigning indifference. She ignored him entirely as they continued.
