Bound Hearts: My Vows to My Disabled Spouse

Chapter 217 Do You Really Consider Me As Your Wife

He said in a resigned tone, "I know it's hard for you to believe but trust me, I'm not interested in Corrie."

Elyse asked calmly, "You are not interested in her? What's your relationship with her, then? What transpired between the two of you in the past? When do you intend on explaining everything to me?"

Jayden was wearied by her questions. He asked, "Why do you bug with too many questions? You are my wife. I'll always protect and take good care of you. Is that not what matters?"

Deep inhalation couldn't suppress the emotions that surged in Elyse's heart. She thumped the back of the sofa so hard as she tried to vent her anger.

"Jayden, do you really consider me your wife?" she asked resignedly.

He gave a big nod. "Indeed, you are my wife."

He was certain the rest of his life would be spent with her as his wife.

"You regard me as your wife, yet you keep me in the dark? You make it difficult for me to connect

with you. You make me feel so distant even when we're together."

His calm eyes saddened her all the more. Her legs grew weak and she squatted.

She asked as she held her knees, "Jayden, you have secrets you are hiding from me. You don't consider me your wife as you claim. If you did, you wouldn't have built walls around yourself." For a second, Jayden was flustered. Did she know his secrets?
