Bound Hearts: My Vows to My Disabled Spouse

Chapter 178 Refusing To Return

After offering Darren some encouragement, Elyse retreated to the violin practice with a weighty heart, determined to refine her skills until she felt satisfied.

Upon her return home, she unexpectedly encountered Kieran. Surprised, she inquired, "What brings you here?"

"I'm here to see Jayden," Kieran replied tersely, striding into the living room without further ado. Perplexed, Elyse hastened her steps and settled beside Jayden, her gaze lingering on Kieran with curiosity.

Unmoved by her presence, Kieran remained fixated on Jayden, his expression tinged with weariness. "Where have you taken my sister?"

It dawned on Elyse that Kieran's visit was prompted by concern for Judy.

Rather than interjecting, Elyse remained silent beside Jayden, observing the tense exchange. Setting his book aside, Jayden met Kieran's gaze squarely. "What's your motive for seeing her?"

"She's been absent for too long. I only just learned she came here. Regardless of her

transgressions, I implore you to release her," Kieran pleaded earnestly, his demeanor verging on submission.
