Bound Hearts: My Vows to My Disabled Spouse

Maybe I'll Never Get To Know Him

Feeling a bit self-conscious, Elyse turned and found herself staring directly into Corrie's piercing and jealous gaze.

Corrie didn't mask her jealousy. Instead, she shot a sly grin that said it all.

Elyse felt uneasy, a sense of disfort settling in.

At that moment, a guest approached them, beaming, and remarked, "Mr. Owen, I must say I envy the love shared between you and your wifThis is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Another guest chimed in, "They say Mr. Owen is aloof, but it seems he showers all his affection on his wife."

The guests all sang praises of Elyse and Jayden's love.

Suddenly, Corrie called out Jayden's name, capturing everyone's attention.

When Jayden looked at her, he saw the sorrow in her eyes. As a tear slipped down her cheek, she fainted right in front of Jayden.

The unexpected turn of events shocked the crowd, leading to gasps and directing everyone's gaze toward them.

"Corrie Bates!" Jayden cried out, startled as she fainted. Unlike his Elyse didn't respond. In that moment, she felt a profound disinterest in anything to do with him.

Suddenly, Jayden pulled her into his arms and kissed her, catching everyone by surprise. Their stunned faces mirrored their shock.

"Whoa!"

The crowd gasped, marveling at the display of affection.

It was clear how deeply Jayden and Elyse loved each other.

Elyse hadn't anticipated such a bold gesture from Jayden, especially not here, amidst the influential crowd.

Undoubtedly, Jayden was making a statement. By kissing Elyse, he was publicly declaring her as his wife and expressing his deep affection for her, all while disregarding the opinions of others. After the kiss, Jayden released her, but she remained dazed. Holding her hand, he led her away from the dance floor as the music continued to

Watching Jayden and Elyse, Brook smiled and mented, "You two are really deep in love-"usual indifference, he anxiously reached out to assist her.

"Corrie Bates? What's she doing here? Isn't she Jayden's ex?"

"Yes, that's her. Could she be so upset that she fainted when she saw Jayden

happy?

"It appears she still has deep feelings for him. I thought maybe they had moved on."

Despite the subdued conversation, a few words reached Elyse's ears.

They suggested that Corrie fainted because she couldn't bear witnessing Jayden with another

woman. This seemed to validate Corrie's deep feelings for Jayden, feelings that, unfortunately,

were not reciprocated.

The words stung Elyse.

In many people's eyes, Corrie and Jayden were meant for each other, making Elyse wonder about

her place. Was she just an obstacle between them?

Next to her, Jayden appeared deeply concerned for Corrie.

Elyse had a sudden realization. Corrie's fainting seemed orchestrated, especially considering the suggestive expression she had observed on Corrie's face just moments before.

Snapping out of her thoughts, Elyse quickly stopped Jayden and whispered, "Corrie is fine. Don't get too worked up."

Jayden's face twisted into a frown as he scolded, "But she fainted!" His tone suggested that Elyse had been inconsiderate, revealing his disappointment.

Elyse froze. She could discern that Corrie had clearly feigned fainting, yet Jayden scolded her in front of everyone.

Upon hearing about the fainting, Peyton swiftly approached as a doctor

After examining Corrie, Peyton couldn't determine the cause with just a brief inspection.

With concern, Jayden asked, "How is Corrie? Is she okay?"

Peyton responded, "I'm not sure. We need to get her to the hospital."

Corrie was taken to the hospital, and Jayden went along.

Elyse felt a sense of unease and quickly followed, grabbing Jayden's hand. She pleaded, "Jayden,

today is my birthday party. Can you stay, or at least wait until after the party?"

Fearing Jayden might refuse, Elyse added, "Driscoll and Peyton will be

there. With so many people around, Corrie will be fine."

Jayden pulled his hand away, looking bewildered. "Why are you acting so cold-hearted? You used

Elyse felt a pang of hurt and asked, her voice strained. "Overreact? Jayden, is this how you see

me?"

Worried about Corrie's condition, Jayden quickly replied, "Corrie fainted at the party. I can't leave

her alone. You stay home. We'll talk later."

Without another glance, he hurried off.

In that moment, Elyse felt a chasm opening between them.

Despite their marriage, she realized how little she knew about Jayden.

His past, personality, thoughts, dreams, and ambitions were a mystery to her.

Tracy, concerned for Elyse, followed her closely.

Seeing Elyse standing stil, Tracy's concern

Understanding how deeply Elyse was affected, Tracy approached her cautiously. "Are you alright?

I don't think Jayder

Tracy tried to offer fort, but Elyse interrupted. "I don't understand Jayden. Maybe I'll never

get to know him,"

All Tracy could do was embrace Elyse warmly, providing a small bit of fort.
