Bound Hearts: My Vows to My Disabled Spouse

Unraveling His Feelings For

Without any hesitation, Theo nodded. "Yes, I know what I'm talking about."

This response aggravated Zandra, her breathing being heavy. She questioned, "You promised to marry Miss Jimenez. What made you change your mind?"

Theo paused for a moment before responding casually, "I must confess, I'm in love with Elyse. She's the one who has my heart, and I can't see myself with anyone else."

Zandra, irked by his declaration, snapped back sharply, "You love Elyse Lloyd? If that were true,

you wouldn't have gotten involved with another woman. What's her name? Kaelyn Bennett,

She continued with increased frustration, "If you really loved Elyse, why did you leave her on your wedding day for Kaelyn? My silly son, do you even understand what you're doing?"

Theo opened his mouth but said nothing.

He knew his mother was right; that was exactly how he had treated ElyseText © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

He had neglected her, hurt her, and let her down time and again.

And now, he was facing the consequences of his actions.

With a bitter smile, Theo admitted, "You think I'm stupid, don't you? I should have realized sooner.

But it's only now that I truly understand how much I love her."

Zandra snorted and mented dismissively, "Yes it's ridiculous! Elyse is now Jayden's wife. You

need to apologize to Miss Jimenez, win her back, and make her fall for you again."

Theo remained silent, meeting Zandra's gaze quietly.

Zandra, sensing his thoughts, slammed her hand on the table again, insisting, "How many times

do I need to tell you? Elyse is married. There's no future for you two."

"She may be married, but she can get a divorce." Theo said firmly, "Jayden is disabled. Elyse won't find happiness with him, I'm the only one who can truly make her happy."

Zandra's eyes widened in shock at his words.

"You abandoned Miss Jimenez to chase after a married woman? I can't believe you're my son. How foolish!"

Theo had made up his mind, deeply regretting how he saw Elyse being mistreated by Jayden. He regretted realizing his love for her too late, pushing her into the arms of another man.

Theo said firmly, "I will personally visit Freda's family and explain everything. As for Elyse, please

don't try to stop me, Mom. I am serious about this."

Zandra was so outraged.

She couldn't believe that her son would reject a single woman from a prestigious family in favor of pursuing a married one.

Zandra attempted to persuade him, saying, "Theo, you're too young to understand what true love is. I doubt your feelings for Elyse are real; it seems more like a case of possessiveness. Perhaps

I've been too pushy about your dating life. Alright, I won't pressure you to find a girlfriend anymore. Just take some time to calm down."

Zandra was about to leave, but Theo called out to her.

"Mom, it's you who doesn't understand what love is."

Zandra froze, looking back in disbelief. "What did you just say?"

Theo remained silent for a moment.

Initially, Theo suspected his feelings were just possessive. Seeing Elyse quickly marry someone

else had left him feeling unfortable and wanting her back.

However, over time, he realized his feelings were genuine, particularly when Elyse shared intimate

00000 details about her life with Jayden.

Theo became consumed by jealousy whenever he heard Elyse speak fondly of Jayden, confirming his true feelings.

He understood he truly loved Elyse; her influence on his emotions was undeniable. Looking earnestly into Zandra's eyes, Theo continued, "When I was in school, you asked me to select my friends based on their family backgrounds and characters, and I plied. You advised me to associate with wealthy relatives and disregard the poorer ones, and I did just that. I picked my friends and acquaintances to meet your expectations because you prioritized benefits above all, ignoring anyone who couldn't offer you any advantage. But now, I can't marry just for financial interests."

With a cold expression, Zandra responded sharply, "Don't forget you e from a wealthy family. Financial interests will never betray you."

Theo smiled wryly, his eyes reflecting a deep sadness.

"Exactly! That's why I treated her carelessly when we dated. I knew she didn't meet your

standards and would never be approved as my wife. I ignored my love for her, letting her bear the weight of my frustrations and disappointments."
