Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband

Chapter 1287:

“Alright, I’ll be waiting at the entrance,” Pearce said before ending the call.

Shortly after, Chloe pulled up to the venue. Pearce stood at the entrance, letting out a sigh of relief as he watched Elyse step out of the car.

Seeing his expression, Elyse asked with a touch of surprise, “What’s wrong? You look worried.”

Pearce lowered his voice and explained, “Remember I was setting up the dinner banquet for you yesterday? It turns out several notable families have shown interest in attending. We now have a number of VIP guests here, and I’m worried I might need help managing everyone.”

Elyse’s mind raced as she processed this. “VIP guests? Like who, exactly?”

“Celeste Griffin, for one. She’s here,” Pearce said solemnly.

Elyse blinked, confused. Not familiar with the intricacies of the city, she admitted, “I have no idea who that is.”

Pearce couldn’t hide his surprise. “You don’t know her?”

Blushing slightly, Elyse scratched her head. “I don’t think it’s that odd, is it?”

Pearce’s brows furrowed in bewilderment. “Hasn’t Cody ever mentioned Celeste to you? That’s strange.”

Elyse’s confusion deepened. “What does Cody have to do with this?” she asked, her mind racing.

Realizing she truly had no idea, Pearce softened his tone as he explained, “Celeste was both your dad’s and Cody’s violin teacher.”noveldrama

Elyse gasped, her hand flying to her mouth in shock. Pearce continued, “She publicly renounced Cody and your dad as her students years ago. They’ve been estranged ever since.”

Pearce paused, his face clouding over. “Celeste and Grandma… let’s just say they’re like oil and water. They don’t get along.”

Elyse’s confusion deepened. “Why? What happened?”

Pearce sighed, his tone heavy. “It all started when Grandma said some pretty awful things to Celeste, accusing her of corrupting your dad and making him neglect his family duties. Celeste was outraged, and their relationship has been tense ever since. Whenever they meet, an argument is inevitable.”

Elyse nodded slowly. “So, you’re telling me there will be drama if they meet at the banquet?”

Pearce hesitated before nodding reluctantly. “Exactly.”

Elyse blinked in thought. “If they cause a scene, can’t you just kick them out?”

Pearce grimaced. “Me? I’m not that capable!”

Elyse grinned at his expression and, taking Chloe’s hand, led her into the venue. She maintained a cheerful demeanor, but inside, her heart was weighed down with apprehension.

A woman who bore a grudge against Cody and her father—Elyse couldn’t shake the feeling that tonight might be chaotic.

Chloe, noticing Elyse’s tension, squeezed her hand gently and said, “Don’t worry too much. Even if Celeste plans to stir up trouble at the banquet, she wouldn’t dare do it openly. That would be highly inappropriate.”
