Bound Hearts: My Vows to My Disabled Spouse

Chapter 162 She'll Understand Then.

Elyse stared at Jayden's long legs and lost in thought. "How did you manage to get here without the wheelchair?"

Raising his head to glance at her, he asked, "How do you think I did?"

She stared at him for some time, doubts about his disability stepping into her mind. She always felt Jayden was the one who had come to save her when she was kidnapped by Joanna. Or was it alla dream?

Elyse walked up to him and pinched his thigh with all the strength she could muster.

Peyton stood aside and held his breath. He was afraid Jayden wouldn't endure the pain but shout.

On the other hand, Jayden calmly stared at him as he tried to hold back the pain.

Elyse's doubts were cleared after the physical examination.

"I can't feel the pain, but I'm sure there is a bruise left. Would you like to examine another spot?"

Jayden asked with a sigh.

Not quite satisfied, Elyse withdrew her hand. "How did you get down here?"

"Ask him," Jayden pointed at Peyton.

Peyton trembled with fear on hearing his name. Why was he being involved in the issue?

"Peyton, why did you come to our house at this time of the night? And of all places, the

basement?" Elyse interrogated.

Jayden had invited them previous the night, he had walked to the basement by himself too!

Peyton rubbed his forehead, trying to come up with an excuse. "I had a bad day, so I came to have

a drink with my friends."

He glanced at Jayden and continued, "He didn't want to follow us, so we carried him down here."

Jayden nodded in confirmation and shrugged helplessly as he said, "See? I was forced here

outside my will. It was never my intention. All I wanted to do was to go to bed."

Elyse was still not convinced. She didn't believe him until she saw the cart that contained bottles of Whiskey and ice close to Clive.

"What happened to you? Why did you bring him down here for a drink this night? It's not good for him," she addressed Peyton dissatisfactorily.

"He broke up with his girlfriend," Jayden defended.

"What? I..." Peyton was shocked. How could he have a break up and not know about it?

The dissatisfaction in Elyse's voice suddenly turned to pity. "I promise I knew nothing of that

nature. I wasn't aware you were seeing someone."

Clive tried to hold back his amusement, he walked up to Peyton and patted his shoulder. "We

didn't know about his relationship until today as well."

It made more sense.

Elyse was completely convinced. She yawned and said to Jayden, "Where is your wheelchair? I'll help you get it."

"Don't worry about that. They would help me with that. You just go back to sleep."

She thought about it for a while, then she turned around and left the room.

When they were certain that she had left, Clive said, "Fortunately, I saw her follow you to the basement."

Peyton hissed as he faced Jayden. "It's high time you told Elyse the truth."

Jayden stood up and collected the bottle of whiskey from Clive. He observed the bottle as he nonchalantly replied, "Why should I?"

"You even did the most intimate thing with her. Don't you trust her enough to tell her the truth?" Peyton continued, "I think she cares about you a lot, she deserves to know the truth."

Jayden objected without hesitation, "She is not smart. I don't want her involved in my affairs."

Peyton frowned. "Have you ever thought about how she would feel if she found out that you've been lying to her?"

However, Jayden couldn't care any less. "I have my plans. Besides, I'm certain she'll understand me then."

Peyton didn't like the fact that Jayden wasn't listening to him. Clive noticed this, he came over and patted Peyton on the shoulder as he said, "Forget it, man. He just feels that it's not the right time. Brook has Enzo pissed off, and things are really tensed in the Owen family."

Jayden nodded in affirmation. "So my mother is anxious to arrange for Bryce to work in the company. She desperately wants a share."

Peyton sneered, "Your brother is just a dumbass. He's bound to embarrass himself."

"More reason why I'm going to the company tomorrow. I'll ike to teach him something," Jayden replied

"Really? Are you that kind?"
