Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband by Devocean

Chapter 1025

Chapter 1025:

Edward's presence seemed to roll off Theo like water off a duck’s back.

“Thank you,” Elyse said as she got into the car.

Edward, though clearly not thrilled, followed suit.

Once inside, Edward, still green with envy, probed, “So, this woman you're going to see—she’s a mutual friend of

yours and Theo's?”

Elyse pondered for a moment, then nodded. “You could say that, but there's more to it.”

“What do you mean?” Edward asked, sulking.

“She's closer to Theo,” Elyse explained. “They've got a much stranger connection.”

Suddenly, the penny dropped for Edward, and his jaw hit the floor. “Hold up, Theo, this woman isn’t your ex-

girlfriend, is she?”

Theo's face darkened like a storm cloud. He was itching to boot Edward out of the car.

Elyse hadn't expected Edward to hit the nail on the head so quickly. She chuckled. “You're sharp, aren't you? You

figured it out right away. Thought | was being subtle.”

Edward puffed up like a peacock, seizing the chance to needle Theo. He cocked an eyebrow at him, his eyes

practically screaming, “See that? I'm getting gold stars from Elyse, while you're just part of her past.”

Theo caught the smugness radiating off Edward and saw red. If Elyse hadn't been there, Theo might have been

tempted to introduce Edward's face to his fist.

After a beat, Elyse, recalling something, asked curiously, “What about Mabel? Did you let her go?”

“Let her go?” Theo's voice was calm, almost cold. “If she can’t lead us to Kaelyn, she'll never walk free. She's

waiting at the agreed location,” he added with a casual shrug.

Elyse was taken aback. “She’s cooperating that easily?”

Theo's lips curved into a wry smile. “With a bomb on her? Even if she wanted to escape, she wouldn't get very

far.”

The tdrove up to their destination, where Elyse quickly noticed Mabel, guarded closely by a circle of

bodyguards.

Mabel stood in the center, appearing quite pitiful. After spending just a day with Theo, Mabel had become

notably more subdued. If Elyse had realized earlier how much Mabel feared Theo, she would have had him

intervene sooner.

Elyse sighed quietly, hands in her pockets, as she slowly approached. Mabel caught sight of Elyse, and a spark of

hope lit up her eyes. She attempted to move towards Elyse, but the bodyguards blocked her way.
