Bound Hearts: My Vows to My Disabled Spouse

Chapter 103 Sometimes Once Is All It Takes

Shortly after, Jayden ushered Elyse into the car, and they were on their way home.

Elyse slumped in the back seat with her hands covering her face. Jayden assumed that her low spirits were due to her not wanting to sleep with him. The thought gave him an overwhelming sense of dread.

"If you don't want me to touch you, then I won't," he said in the steadiest voice he could manage. "It's not that," Elyse said, sounding both confused and exasperated. "I just have one question. "Your legs... How?"

"Ahem!" The driver sounded like he had choked on air. The poor man was likely shocked by her words. He quickly pressed the button that drew the partition up. He knew when to make himself scarce, and he certainly had no intention of getting fired.

Jayden's face darkened. He suddenly leaned over and grabbed her by the chin, forcing her to look at him. "If you really want to know, I'll be more than happy to show you once we're home." Realizing that she had said something she shouldn't have, Elyse backed away and awkwardly hung her head. "Never mind, I'm not curious anymore!"

The rest of the drive was silent. When they reached home, they were greeted by a cheerful Driscoll. He was beaming, and practically hopping on his feet.

Elyse still had to go to the studio, so she went straight to her room to take a shower and change. Jayden was planning to take a shower as well, but Driscoll stopped him before he could turn toward the stairs.

"Excuse me. There are a good number of empty rooms on the third floor. Why don't we make the biggest one the nursery?" Driscoll's voice was jovial as he prattled on. "Also, about that small, open space in the garden... Should we turn it into a playground?"

What he said didn't make any sense to Jayden. He frowned and asked, "Why would we need those things?"

"Why, for your and Elyse's baby, of course!"
