Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband

Chapter 1275:

Elyse dabbed at her eyes, gently wiping away the tears. Jayden observed her with a softening gaze, a subtle smile curving his lips.

This move was proving to be a masterstroke. Convincing Driscoll and the others to join him here was shaping up to be his wisest decision yet.

Driscoll relieved Elyse of her luggage and beamed at her.

“The chef has whipped up your favorite raspberry cake and brewed some black tea.”noveldrama

The mention of those delightful cakes, lovingly prepared by the chef back home, evoked warm memories in Elyse. She managed a smile, her heart lightening.

“It’s been ages. I’ve missed them terribly.”

Jayden watched her retreat, his satisfaction growing with each passing moment.

Driscoll had indeed thought of everything. Knowing how to tickle her taste buds was truly the key to unlocking a woman’s heart, and their chef was a maestro of such arts. Leisurely, Jayden followed and settled beside Elyse in the backyard.

Soon, Driscoll ambled over and asked, “Sir, might I tempt you with some of the raspberry cake as well?”

Feeling buoyant, Jayden nodded.

“Certainly, I’m eager to discover what makes this particular cake so beloved.”

Elyse scoffed lightly.

“Come on. If you’re not fond of it, just be honest. No one’s forcing your hand.”

Jayden propped his chin on his hand, his eyes twinkling.

“Who ever said I despise cake?”

Caught mid-bite, Elyse stared at him, incredulous.

“You enjoy cakes?”

Jayden’s gaze drifted off, hinting at a distant memory. After a brief pause, he mused, “I believe I once did.”

Elyse’s brow creased slightly.

“You seem unsure?”

He shrugged nonchalantly.

“It’s been quite some time. I’d need to ponder that.”

Elyse sensed his reluctance to explore further and decided not to press him.

From the sidelines, Driscoll watched their exchange, his heart quietly shattering.

The past six months had seen them drifting apart, embroiled in constant disputes. Driscoll had dreamt of this moment—their reconciliation—and now that he witnessed their relaxed banter, he sighed with mixed emotions.

After savoring the last bite of her raspberry cake, Elyse took a leisurely sip of her tea and fixed Jayden with a playful look.

“So, when are you going to open up? Surely you can’t delay our chat indefinitely, can you?”
