Bound Hearts: My Vows to My Disabled Spouse

Elyse expressed surprise. "Rebekah confessed her love? Did Freddy accept her?"

"Freddy..." Darren's tone carried a mix of emotions. "His intentions were unclear. He didn't outright reject her. Instead, he mentioned needing time to consider, which pleased Rebekah."

To Darren, Freddy's actions hinted at ulterior motives, though he refrained from speculating further.
