Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband

Chapter 1470:

Freda’s confident demeanor faltered slightly, but she quickly recovered, chasing after Elyse. “No, seriously. I really need your help. There’s no one else I can turn to!”

Elyse didn’t even break her stride. “Still a no,” she replied flatly. “I’m starving. Let me eat in peace.”

But Freda was nothing if not persistent. She followed Elyse like a shadow, her tone growing increasingly insistent. “I’m not leaving until you promise to help me!”

Elyse sighed deeply, sitting down to eat as Freda hovered nearby, her eyes practically boring into her.

Once she finished her meal, Elyse stood and headed toward the stairs, intent on retreating to her room. But Freda, true to her word, trailed after her like a stubborn shadow.

Elyse stopped mid-step, exasperation clear on her face, and turned to face Freda. “Let me guess—you’re trying to pursue Gavin, aren’t you? If that’s the case, figure it out yourself. What on earth could I possibly do to help you with that?”

Freda’s eyes sparkled with determination as she blurted out, “If you could just say something nice about me to him, he’d come around faster.”

Elyse raised a skeptical brow and shook her head firmly. “No way. I barely know you, let alone your virtues. If you want him to notice you, you’ll have to do it on your own.”

Freda, not one to give up easily, grabbed Elyse’s arm with a dramatic sigh. “But if you don’t help me, how will I ever become his wife? I promise, if I do, I’ll make sure to treat you well in the future.”

Elyse stared at her, utterly dumbfounded. The sheer audacity of Freda’s words left her momentarily speechless. Was she seriously planning to marry Gavin?

With a weary sigh, Elyse rubbed her temples, feeling a headache starting to creep in. Finally, she plopped down on the sofa, her expression a mix of exasperation and curiosity. Crossing her arms, she looked at Freda and asked, “Alright, spill. What’s going on between you and Gavin? Why the sudden infatuation? Last I checked, you were head over heels for Theo. What changed?”

Freda’s face initially lit up, her smile spreading warmth across her features. Yet, the moment Theo’s name was mentioned, that warmth twisted into a grimace, almost wild in its intensity.

“Let’s not even go there with Theo Ward,” she grumbled, shaking her head. “I can’t fathom what I saw in him.”

Elyse, thoroughly puzzled, asked, “What’s the story? Did someone push you into saying yes to him? I’m lost.”

“No, it was all me.” Freda sighed, a hint of frustration in her voice. “I tricked myself into thinking it was right. I had this epiphany that I actually despised him and wasn’t bound to stick with him. Honestly, I reckon I could’ve convinced myself to marry any guy they lined up for me.”

Elyse raised her eyebrows, slowly processing Freda’s words. “So, what’s the deal with Gavin then?”

A blush tinged Freda’s cheeks. “Do we really have to dig into Gavin? It’s a bit mortifying.”

“If it’s too much, you’re free to leave,” Elyse offered, her tone soothing.noveldrama

“No, I’ll spill it,” Freda burst out, the words tumbling out in haste. “A couple of months ago, on a business trip overseas, I met Gavin at a swanky cocktail party. He was this beacon of charisma, drawing in a crowd of admiring older women.”

Elyse, skillfully ignoring the strain in Freda’s voice, responded evenly, “Gavin tends to draw a crowd. He’s got that charm. Looks like you’ll have to deal with it.”
