Bound Hearts: My Vows to My Disabled Spouse

Chapter 274 Rare Display Of Maternal Affection

These days, Elyse spent her time rehearsing with the orchestra. As the designated concertmaster for their uping performance, she dedicated herself to intense practice sessions.

Today, just as she was about to finish practicing, she received a call from Glenda, who urged her to e home.

Having not spoken to her for a significant period, and currently entangled in a disagreement with Mabel, Elyse felt even less inclined to visit.

She massaged her forehead wearily and chose her words with care, replying, "I've been swamped with work and haven't had the chance to e back. If it's something important, we can discuss it over the phone."

Upon hearing Elyse's hesitation, Glenda's voice cracked with emotion. "Since you got married, it's been ages. I miss you terribly. Please, e home for dinner."

This caught Elyse off guard. It was the first instance of Glenda expressing her longing to see her. This rare display of maternal affection touched Elyse, softening her initial reluctance.

After a brief pause, she made up her mind to go. Glenda provided an address and instructed her to e there.
