Bound Hearts: My Vows to My Disabled Spouse

Chapter 157 Out Of Gratitude

Elyse kept her appointment with Theo and headed to his place. However, she didn't go there alone. Jayden's men followed and protected her throughout the journey.

She carried a specially made alarm device from Jayden. If she pressed a button, Jayden's men would immediately intervene.

She arrived on time and rang the doorbell.

Theo opened the door, dressed in a housecoat, which made him seem more approachable than usual.

He noticed the violin case in her hand and raised an eyebrow, asking, "You just finished your practice?"

Elyse nodded and asked, "What do you need from me at your home?" "Come in," Theo said, leaning against the door frame with a lazy posture.

With a sigh, Elyse walked in reluctantly and bent down to change her shoes.

Theo's gaze drifted to her waist, noticing for the first time how slender and well-proportioned she

was. He wondered why he hadn't noticed it before.

"Doesn't Jayden mind you coming here?" Theo asked, half-jokingly.

After slipping into slippers, Elyse gave him a cold glance and said, "You know he would mind, yet you insisted I come alone. Did you do that deliberately? Just drop your
