Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband

Chapter 1471:

“That’s something I’ll never get used to!” Freda snapped, her tone charged with emotion. Just picturing those women swooning over Gavin made her want to scream.

“What happened next?” Elyse gently prodded.

Freda suddenly covered her face, her cheeks aglow.

“You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to,” Elyse said softly after a pause.

“No, it’s… it’s actually something wonderful,” Freda stammered, her hands still shielding her face.

“Something wonderful? Like what?” Elyse encouraged.

Taking a deep breath, Freda began, her voice trembling slightly. “At that party, some drunk started hassling me. I felt really vulnerable because no one seemed to notice or…”

“Just when I thought it couldn’t get any worse, Gavin appeared out of nowhere and put him in his place.”

“You fell for him because he swept in and saved the day?” Elyse asked, tilting her head slightly.

“Of course not! Do I seem that shallow?” Freda retorted, her voice pitching up. “I was thankful, sure, but he hardly gave me a second glance after that. I just let it go and walked away.”

Elyse let out a sigh. “But if you weren’t head over heels then, what changed your mind about him?”

Freda scratched her head, pondering. “It all changed after the party. That incident kind of shattered my preconceptions about him. I started seeing him in a new light.”

Elyse studied Freda closely. “How long have you been trying to catch his attention?”

“About two weeks? He came back to town, and I sort of… tagged along,” Freda admitted. She then added with a hint of frustration, “He’s difficult! I’ve been all over him for two weeks, and he hasn’t even shared his number!”

Elyse couldn’t help but chuckle. “So you’re saying you’ve made zero headway?”

Freda exhaled deeply, her shoulders drooping. “Exactly. I’m out of ideas, which is why I came to you.”

Elyse’s eyes widened in surprise. “You can’t be serious! I can’t get tangled up in this!”

“Why not?” Freda pressed, her voice tinged with desperation. “Just because we’ve had our ups and downs, you won’t help me now? If I win him over, we could end up being good friends!”

Elyse winced, shaking her head. “You’re missing the point about Gavin. He values directness. Using me to orchestrate things won’t endear you to him.”

Freda looked perplexed. “Why not?”

“Gavin values genuineness,” Elyse explained with patience. “Bringing me into the mix would mean meddling in something that should be purely between you two. He wouldn’t see it as a gesture of love.”

Freda’s face reflected her confusion slowly turning into understanding.

Elyse continued, “A true relationship is crafted by the two people involved. If I step in, it diminishes the personal experiences and emotions that you and Gavin should be building together. Handling it on your own makes those moments invaluable, uniquely yours and his.”
