Bound Hearts: My Vows to My Disabled Spouse

Chapter 17 If You Insult Jayden Again

Jayden clenched his jaw and replied in a cold tone, "I came downstairs looking for you." Elyse, too frightened to speak, lowered her head.

Driscoll, misinterpreting the situation as playful banter, couldn't help but feel a thrill of excitement. "By the way, the Brooks family sent over an invitation just now. Xander Brooks is getting married and has invited you two to the wedding."

"Xander Brooks?" Jayden repeated.

"Yes. The wedding is tomorrow," Driscoll replied respectfully.

Elyse, puzzled, interjected, "He sent it the day before the wedding? Shouldn't invitations be sent out half a month or a month in advance?"

Jayden's response was icy. "It's not surprising. Xander is a playboy and has never been serious about anyone. Maybe he got someone pregnant."

Elyse's mouth fell open in shock, but Jayden found her expression somewhat endearing.

Driscoll then asked, "Will you attend the wedding tomorrow, sir?"

"I've received the invitation, so I must go," Jayden said indifferently.

Driscoll looked concerned as he spoke "But I remember that the relationship between his family

and you isn't good. They didn't attend your wedding. They

just sent a gift. Why do you feel the need to go?".

Jayden glanced at Elyse, his expression calm, and replied, "I have to go. If I don't, how will they

see how beautiful my wife is?"

Elyse caught his gaze and felt a wave of shyness wash over her, her cheeks warming noticeably. "Let's go. Don't just sit around," Jayden said. He moved over to her, took her hand, and they started towards the entrance.

Driscoll watched them leave, waving with a smile of satisfaction.

"Where are we going?" Elyse asked, puzzled.

"We're going to a wedding tomorrow. As my wife, you need to look stunning, or it'll reflect poorly onme."

"Is being your wife always this stressful?" Elyse asked.

Jayden gave her a lazy glance. "What? Having second thoughts?"

"No. I think I'm so fortunate to be your wife," Elyse responded, shaking her head.

Suddenly, Jayden's heart skipped a beat. He was so taken aback that he momentarily lost his

breath. How could she be so naive? Did she really think it was lucky to marry a man like him?

A flicker of emotion passed through Jayden's eyes, but it quickly faded. He knew he couldn't

expect too much from someone, or he would be the one who ended up hurt.

Jayden and Elyse got into the car and soon arrived at a shopping mall.

Elyse, pushing Jayden's wheelchair, took a leisurely stroll through the mall.

"We have a lot to buy today. We need clothes for the wedding tomorrow, and also some jewelry."

"That must cost a lot of money, right?" Elyse asked nervously.

"You're my wife, and you're the only one entitled to spend my money," Jayden responded.

Elyse paused for a moment, then asked, "Isn't this an unnecessary gesture?"

"I have a good reason, so no, it's not," Jayden assured her.

Nodding, Elyse continued shopping with him. They went to a boutique where Jayden selected a

dress for her. Afterward, they headed to a jewelry store.

As they arrived, the staff quickly cleared the store in a practiced manner and then escorted them to the second floor.

"Hold on a moment! Jayden Owen, I also need to pick up some jewelry from this store. Count me

The voice made Elyse turn around. She saw a man with a crew cut walking into the jewelry store,

his hand resting on the waist of a glamorous woman.

Jayden looked back at the two and said sharply, "Hiram Brooks, how dare you ask me to buy you anything? Get out of my sight."

Hiram was taken aback by Jayden's blunt refusal, and the smile on his face nearly vanished.

The woman next to him frowned and asked, "Hiram, who is this cripple? He's shown you no respect."

Patting the woman's shoulder, Hiram feigned anger and replied, "What are you saying? This is the legendary Jayden Owen!"

"To me, he's a cripple who should stay at home," she retorted dismissively.

Their exchange caused the atmosphere in the store to turn icy.

Noticing the stares directed at Jayden, Elyse walked over with a determined stride and positioned

herself in front of Jayden. Her expression cold and stern, she warned, "If you insult Jayden again, I'll have you thrown out of here."
