Bound Hearts: My Vows to My Disabled Spouse

He's A Thousand Times Better Than You

Hearing Elyse's words, Theo's eyes widened in surprise.

Gritting his teeth, he fumed, "What on earth do you see in this cripple? For heaven's sake, I'm way better than he is, yet you're choosing him over me."

Elyse scoffed and retorted, "He is a thousand times better than,"

Her words pierced Theo's heart and caused him to suddenly place a hand on his chest and begin

to gasp. Stunned, Richie said nervously, "Don't tell me Mr. Ward is having a heart attack!"NôvelDrama.Org © content.

Elyse shook her head and replied through gritted teeth, "No, he's most likely just incredibly pissed at me!"

Shaking his head, Jayden took out his phone with the intent of summoning an ambulance but paused when Theo stumbled away. Observing Theo as he walked away, Richie couldn't help but let out a sigh. Theo looked like a lion who

had tried to get himself a lioness and got bashed in the face. He looked devoid of any iota of pride portrayed the very definition of depression and defeat. With another sigh, this time inward, Richie turned his head toward Elyse and Jayden and saw just as the former shook off the latter's hand in a hostile manner.

Frowning, Jayden tried to hold Elyse's hand again but she withdrew her hand away from his reach. Pursing his lips, Richie tore his gaze away from them. The fact that the couple was still ina disagreement had flown out of his mind. No wonder they couldn't cooperate very well just now. Richie cleared his throat and said, "I've ordered the dishes, Mr. Owen, and they are on their way. If

you

don't mind, perhaps you should stay and have dinner with us. After all, your wife is quite famished and

needs to eat. If she has to go home before she has dinner, she might develop some stomach issues." Looking at Elyse, who held her head aloft without sparing him a single glance, Jayden let out a helpless sigh and said, "Alright, Ill stay and eat here."

With that, Richie led them back to the private room. Once they were settled in their seats, a waiter arrived with the dishes and began to serve them.

So famished was Elyse, that she seized her fork the moment the waiter served her and began to devour

the food.

Jayden asked with a frown, 'Didn't you have lunch?"

"had no appetite during lunchtime," Elyse replied casually without even looking up at Jayden. Realizing at that moment that Elyse had missed both breakfast and lunch, Jayden pounded his fork on the table angrily and asked through gritted teeth, "Why on earth would you intentionally starve yourself?! Have you forgotten that one's body needs energy?!"

Hearing this, anger surged through Elyse. Jayden was the one who informed her this moming that he was going to send someone over with her breakfast. However, the person, who turned out to be Judy, hadn't delivered it at all.

Why on earth would Jayden task Judy with delivering breakfast to her when he could easily have asked Feeling depressed regarding this, Elyse had lost her appétite when lunchtime came around. Arriving home

someone else?

and hearing what the servants were saying had only made her blood boil more in anger. "I said I had no appetite! It's my own business! Stop talking to me like I'm under your control!" Elyse fumed as she felt a lump in her throat and placed the fork in her hand down. She was livid with anger again.

Seeing that Elyse was upset, Jayden said anxiously, "You shouldn't go for a whole day without eating.

Such action could damage your health. I'm pretty sure you don't want to end up sick, right? Elyse glared at him and fumed, "Wasn't I audible enough just now?! I said you should stop talking to me like I'm under your control!"

At that moment, Jayden lost his cool and slammed his fork on the table.

With a sigh, Richie put down the drumstick that he had been eating, swallowed the meat still in his mouth, and persuaded, "I think it's high time you guys settled your differences. I mean, no matter how complicated the issue you guys have with each other might be, it could easily be resolved if you both take your time to explain your grievances to the other party. We can have a good meal and simultaneously resolve the misunderstanding between both of you."

Fire flashed through Elyse's eyes and she thundered, "We don't have any damn misunderstanding between us."

Jayden watched Elyse intently as, unable to hold it back anymore, a tear began to fall out of the corner of her teary eyes. Clearly, she was still keeping some of her anger at bay.

Richie shook his head at Elyse and said, "I don't believe that. From the way I see it, you're acting

expression the moment you laid your eyes on that woman was clear to see. If I'm to take a guess,

I'd say that you are quarreling with Mr. Owen because of that woman, right?"

Widening her eyes, Elyse covered her ears and yelled, "I don't know what you're talking about!" However, it was clear to see from her reaction that she was lying.

Turning to face Jayden, Richie said sincerely, "It's not like I wish to speak to you in any sort of condescending manner, Mr. Owen, but why are you putting your wife through this sort of thing? Irrespective of what your intentions must have been regarding what you did, just give in and apologize if you still wish to keep her as your wife."

Hearing this, Jayden scoffed and looked at Richie as if he had gone out of his mind. How could he ask him to apologize? suddenly flashed through Jayden's mind. Was Richie trying to insinuate that Thinking of this, an idea Elyse was always at loggerheads with him these days because she was jealous of Judy? With a frown, Jayden instinctively looked up at Elyse. Her eyes were filled with hurt and she had her arms into any sort of communication with him.

crossed. Gritting her teeth, she clearly didn't want to get With a bit of hesitation in his voice, Jayden asked, "What woman are you talking about? Which woman would want to be between me and my wife?"

Just as Richie was about to reply, Elyse sat up and yelled accusingly, "You know very well who the woman in question is! Don't pretend like you don't know that it's Judy! All these while, she's been rude to me but you didn't give a damn."
