Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband

Chapter 1390:

“Then go and tell my grandma that you have no interest in marrying me. Tell her you’re not attracted to me—just make sure she understands we’re not getting married.”

Victor touched his face, his expression troubled. He considered himself quite attractive and usually well-received by women. Why was Elyse not affected?

She was completely indifferent, a direct hit to his pride.

After a moment of quiet reflection, Victor inquired, “So, if it’s not me, is it your complicated ex you still have feelings for?”

Elyse pursed her lips, choosing not to respond.

The expression on her face confirmed for Victor that he had struck a sensitive chord.

“He really means that much to you?” he asked.

With a weary sigh, Elyse responded, “It’s complex. I can’t just give you a straight answer.”

“You’re unsure of your own feelings?” Victor perceived her response as avoidance.

“Actually, I’ve been reflecting on this quite a bit,” she confessed.noveldrama

Noticing her indecision, he couldn’t help but chuckle.

“Really? The mere fact you’re struggling so much to define your feelings probably means you love him. You’re just unsure why.”

A look of realization dawned on Elyse’s face, as if clarity had suddenly struck her.

After a thoughtful silence, she murmured, “You might be right. If there were no love, I wouldn’t be this confused.”

Her turmoil was indeed rooted in her love for Jayden, as she grappled with understanding why she would fall for him. With a playful smile, Victor said, “Sounds like you’re quite love-struck. Pearce really should have introduced us earlier.”

Elyse stiffened. His words seemed more pointed than flattering.

“Now that we’ve got that sorted, perhaps you should tell my grandma that you’re not interested in marrying me?”

Victor spread his arms wide, adopting an expression of mock despair.

“I wish I could, but my parents are pushing hard for me to get married. Without their pressure, Felicia wouldn’t have even brought this proposal to my family.”

Elyse was taken aback.

“So, you’re not interested in calling it off? You think we should… try this?”

“Let’s be clear. Just because I’m not ending it doesn’t mean I’m eager to try,” Victor explained.

Elyse’s understanding clicked into place.

“You’re proposing… a partnership?”

Victor nodded affirmatively.
