Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband

Chapter 1590:

She tapped her temple and muttered in frustration, “Do you think Corrie noticed?”

Elyse waved the thought away with a dismissive gesture. “Not a chance. She was far too consumed by her own anger to notice anything so subtle.”

Propping her chin in her hands, Elyse studied Camille with a mischievous smile. “Are you sure you’re not a professional actress? You were so convincing, we genuinely thought you two were a real couple at first.”

Blushing at the compliment, Camille fidgeted with her fingers. “Actually, no. I’m not an actress. I work at a bar, serving drinks. Last night was my first shift, and that’s when Brook noticed me and offered me this job.”

Elyse raised an eyebrow, intrigued. “And what exactly did you do to catch his attention?”

Camille hesitated, her cheeks tinged pink. “I kind of stole a customer’s focus away from another girl. That customer ended up buying ten cases of beer from me. When the other girl got upset and cursed me out, I played the innocent victim. Brook said he needed someone with my knack for subtle manipulation to provoke a horrible woman.”

Elyse burst into laughter, unable to contain herself.

As it turned out, Camille’s eccentric personality wasn’t an act—it was simply who she was.

Shaking her head in amusement, Elyse remarked, “Brook really lucked out with you. You’re just what he needs to handle his big problem.”noveldrama

Elyse’s eyes sparkled with mischief as she teased, “Surely spending time with Brook beats slinging drinks behind the bar, doesn’t it?”

Camille nodded, enthusiasm radiating from her face. “Brook promised that once everything falls into place, he’ll provide me with an apartment and support my return to education.”

Elyse’s eyebrows shot up in surprise. “Return to education? Just how young are you?”

A hint of shyness crept into Camille’s voice as she replied, “I’m just a month shy of legal adulthood. Brook suggested taking a gap year to focus on college entrance preparation.”

Astonishment colored Elyse’s features. “Well, that’s unexpected. He has certainly grown generous, supporting your educational pursuits.”

Camille’s fingers nervously threaded through her hair. “Truth is, I’m no academic prodigy. Even with a year of preparation, top universities might remain out of reach.”

Elyse paused thoughtfully before suggesting, “Have you considered pursuing acting? You could dedicate the year to preparing for both auditions and entrance exams.”

Hope illuminated Camille’s features as she leaned forward eagerly. “Do you honestly believe I could succeed in the entertainment industry?”

A knowing smile spread across Elyse’s face. “Your recent performance was quite convincing. Had you not confessed, we’d still be none the wiser.”

A rosy blush colored Camille’s cheeks as she responded softly, “Perhaps I’ll explore that path then.”
