Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband

Chapter 1524:

“Leave it alone, Elyse.” Gavin’s words carried a gentle warning as he crossed his arms. “Some stories need to unfold without an audience.” A thoughtful silence claimed Elyse before she nodded. “I suppose you’re right.”

Yet curiosity flickered in her eyes like candlelight. “So when you asked me to invite Celeste over last time, you were asking it for Mr. Tucker?”

“Exactly,” Gavin admitted. “We’d hit a wall trying to arrange a meeting ourselves.”

“Humph,” Freda interjected, tossing her silken hair with dramatic flourish. “Only I can get her to show up. My family sponsors a ton of music events, you know. People in the industry wouldn’t dream of offending Celeste, and she wouldn’t risk offending my family.”

“That makes sense. Celeste wouldn’t give us the time of day, but she can’t ignore your invitation,” Elyse acknowledged.

“See?” Freda shot Gavin a playful wink. “You wouldn’t even be in the same room with Celeste if it weren’t for me.”

“You’re right. I’m a lucky guy to have you as my girlfriend,” Gavin grinned.

A rosy blush painted Freda’s cheeks. It was the first time Gavin had publicly acknowledged their relationship.

“You two are disgustingly sweet,” Elyse smirked.

With her cheeks still tinged pink, Freda wrapped herself around Gavin.

“We’re going to be even sweeter.”

“‘Ugh, gross,” Elyse mock-shivered.

The moment was interrupted as Jayden appeared behind Elyse, wrapping his arms around her waist.

Elyse’s body tensed at his touch. “What are you doing?” she asked, pivoting to meet his gaze.

Jayden cast a knowing look at Gavin and Freda. “We’re pretty sweet too; you just haven’t seen it.”noveldrama

“If we haven’t seen it, it hasn’t happened. Prove it!” Freda challenged with a scoff.

Elyse’s eyes flicked instinctively to Jayden, her heart racing as she doubted he’d dare make a move in front of Gavin and Freda.

But Jayden surprised her, gently lifting her chin and pressing his lips to hers.

Freda’s gasp echoed through the room as she covered her mouth, unmistakable envy shimmering in her eyes.

Breaking away, Jayden arched a brow in triumph. “Didn’t happen, huh?” he teased. “We were practically glued while you were all who-knows-where.”

“Come on. Get a room! It’s sickening,” Freda groaned, rolling her eyes. The playful atmosphere dissolved as Elyse’s attention drifted to the backyard, worry creasing her brow. “They’ve been out there for ages. I hope they’re not arguing.”

Gavin shook his head, a knowing smile playing on his lips. “Don’t worry. Mr. Tucker knows what he’s doing. He genuinely wants to make amends for what happened.”

“Why were they on such bad terms?” Elyse’s brow furrowed in concern.

Gavin shrugged. “I don’t really know. His past is largely a mystery to me.”

Noticing Elyse’s troubled expression, Jayden gently ruffled her hair. “If he’s apologizing, I’m sure things will work themselves out. They just need space and time.”

“It’s taking forever,” Elyse muttered under her breath.

“Are you hungry?” Freda interjected, brightening the mood. “I’ll have some snacks brought out.”
