Bound Hearts: My Vows to My Disabled Spouse

Chapter 24 Perhaps He's Feeling Jealous

Elyse and Jayden had just settled into their car to head home when Elyse's phone began to ring. She checked the caller ID, saw Theo's name, and irritably hung up.

Yet Theo's number flashed again on her screen, prompting her to disconnect the call once more. Jayden, who had been watching her, inquired, "Who was that calling you?"

Elyse, caught unprepared and about to fabricate a name, was stopped by Jayden's slow,

deliberate words. "I appreciate honesty."

Reluctantly, she confessed, "It was Theo." She pouted slightly. Observing her frustration with the phone, Jayden commented with a cold tone, "He keeps calling. There must be something he needs to tell you. Why don't you just answer it?"

Elyse, sensing a threat in his voice, quickly replied, "We're done. What could he possibly want from me now? I'll ust block his number. I won't answer his calls ever again!"

Jayden gave a small smile and mused, "You're married now. It does make one wonder what he wants to talk about with you." His voice carried a trace of sarcasm as he maneuvered his wheelchair into the study

Elyse, left feeling puzzled and overlooked by Jayden's actions, sought insight from Driscoll who

had been observing them. "Driscoll, what does he mean by that? Why is he ignoring

me?"

Driscoll, with a smile, remarked, "It seems he is feeling jealous!" "Jealous?"
