Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband by Devocean

Chapter 1801:

At those words, Elyse propped her chin on her hands, her eyes locking onto Clive’s face with a piercing intensity.

Clive, caught in the spotlight of her gaze, felt a sudden wave of unease wash over him, his usual composure slipping like sand through his fingers. He faltered, his words tumbling out in a nervous stutter. “W-why are you staring at me like that? Don’t tell me you actually think I’m not man enough?”

Elyse let out a bright, melodic laugh, her voice dancing with amusement. “Not in the slightest! I think you’re quite the charmer. Peyton’s just spouting gibberish—don’t take his nonsense to heart. You’re truly easy on the eyes.”

Clive’s hand shot up to cover his mouth, his eyes fixed on Elyse as if she had cast a spell over him. A faint flush crept up his ears, their tips glowing a soft crimson, and he could feel the warmth spreading across his cheeks like wildfire.

Thankfully, Peyton’s attention was elsewhere, sparing Clive the embarrassment of being caught in such a fluster. He leaned in close to Elyse, dropping his voice to a conspiratorial whisper. “My buddy is just putting on an act, you know. If a lady calls him good-looking, his head will swell bigger than a hot air balloon. Don’t feed his ego and continue tossing compliments my way instead.”

Elyse chuckled, her laughter bubbling up like a spring. “Didn’t I already say you were a looker too?”
