Bound Hearts: My Vows to My Disabled Spouse

I Got Bitten By A Puppy

Judy didn't wait for Driscoll's response; she strode confidently towards the stairs.

But Driscoll, disliking Judy's unilateral decisions, intervened, his tone tinged with impatience and a

hint of warning. "Miss Foster, whether you're a guest or a maid, it's not within your rights to meddle in Mr. Owen's affairs."

Narrowing his eyes, Driscoll cautioned, saying, "Please remember your place and refrain from acting inappropriately."

Judy clenched her teeth, seething at Driscoll's presumption. After all, he was just a butler-how dare he address her like that?

In her mind, Judy vowed that once she became Jayden's wife, the first person she would dismiss would be Driscoll.

Observing Judy's reluctance to comply, Driscoll sensed her hidden agenda. He surmised that she intended to seek out upstairs. Driscoll was keenly aware that Judy's presence was the primary catalyst for the discord between Elyse and Jayden.

This time, Driscoll was resolute in his decision not to allow Judy to ascend to the second floor and potentially disrupt the peace between Elyse and Jayden, no matter the circumstances.

Judy's lips twisted in irritation as she responded sharply, "What's the matter with you? You are as wary of me as you would be of a thief? Are you afraid I'll jeopardize their relationship?" Maintaining his composure, Driscoll replied diplomatically, "Miss Foster, you're overthinking. I just ask that you adhere to the rules."

With gritted teeth, Judy begrudgingly withdrew.

Half an hour later, Jayden emerged, his face exuding contentment.

Driscoll stepped forward, directing a maid to bring out the breakfast that had been carefully kept

warm.

As a devoted butler, Driscoll respected his master's privacy and refrained from prying into Jayden's personal affairs. Even if Jayden chose to forego breakfast and emerge later in the day, Driscoll remained discreet and didn't inquire further.

Yet, Judy couldn't resist expressing her concern, approaching Jayden with genuine care. "Mr. Owen, why the late descent? Are you feeling unwell? Shall I fetch a doctor for

you?".

Jayden lifted his head, striding past Judy toward the dining room, his attention fixed elsewhere

Despite being disregarded, Judy remained undeterred, trailing after Jayden as she spoke. "Why

are you alone downstairs? Where's Ms. Lloyd? Is she still sleeping? Why is she sleeping in when you're up?"

Driscoll felt a twinge of discomfort at Judy's probing. As he readied a reprimand, Jayden

interjected sharply, "Her affairs are not your concern. If idle chatter is your forte, perhaps

domestic service isn't

your calling. You're free to depart and indulge in gossip elsewhere."

Jayden's disapproving words left judy feeling deeply upset.

How could Jayden defend Elyse so staunchly?

Yet, Judy masked her emotions with a simple acknowledgment. "Understood."

'At that moment, Elyse descended from the upper floor, violin in hand, her movements hurried.

Spotting her, Driscoll called out, "Mrs. Owen, breakfast awaits. Please, join us."

Elyse's gaze met Jayden's complacent expression, stoking her ire. It was his insistence on their morning intimate encounter that nearly made her tardy.

"Il pass on breakfast. It's too late. I need to join my orchestra members immediately." Following her statement, Elyse hurriedly departed.

Jayden tore his gaze from Elyse, addressing Driscoll. "Arrange for a sandwich to be sent to her later."

Driscoll nodded deferentially. "Of course."

Judy glanced around without saying a word.

Seated at the table, Jayden started his breakfast. Meanwhile, Judy stood nearby, lightly touching

her belly. "Mr. Owen, I've been waiting for you and haven't eaten yet. May I join you for breakfast?"

Mr. Owen?"

Jayden, without lifting his gaze, responded icily, "I recall you offering to serve in the household,

yet now you seek to join the master for breakfast. Are you committed to servitude or not?"

Judy's eyelids fluttered in unease.

Jayden's demeanor had shifted overnight. What had prompted this sudden change?

Cursing inwardly, Judy suspected Elyse's meddling.

In that moment, Judy's disdain for Elyse deepened, but she couldn't dwell on it. She needed to act swiftly. "That's not my intention," she clarified hurriedly. "I'm eager to serve you. Please don't dismiss me in anger."

Jayden remained silent, intensifying Judy's anxiety. She knew she had to remain by his side, or all her plans would unravel.

Then, she noticed a red mark on Jayden's neck. Seizing the opportunity to connect with him, she gently pointed it out. "Mr. Owen, are you injured here?"

Jayden reached for his neck, acknowledging the mark. With a hint of mischief, he adjusted his collar and said, "Yes, I was bitten by a puppy."

No "puppy" dared to nip Jayden's neck except Elyse.
