Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband

Chapter 1559:

Jayden blinked in disbelief. “You’re saying a grown man was held captive by a little girl? That sounds impossible!”

Elyse scratched her head, her expression clouded. “It felt entirely plausible in the dream. The girl seemed to be a princess, exuding power, while the man was just a commoner.”

“A princess?” Jayden echoed, his mind spinning with the implications.

Elyse sighed, throwing off the covers. “I need a shower,” she said with an air of resignation. “I’m drenched.”

Jayden sat back, lost in thought. Elyse’s dream clung to his mind like a shadow that refused to be shaken. How could a mere little girl subdue a man? What kind of twisted kid was she?

When Elyse reappeared from the shower, her hair damp and skin flushed, she found Jayden still deep in thought.

“It was just a dream,” she said, trying to dismiss it. “Let it go.”

They left their room and descended to the hotel restaurant for breakfast. There, they ran into Celeste, whose warm smile quickly beckoned them over.

“Come sit with me,” Celeste said, gesturing to an empty spot at her table.

Elyse and Jayden didn’t hesitate, settling in across from her.

Celeste wasted no time. “I heard from Nick last night that you invited him to some kind of performance. What’s this about? What kind of event is it, and how big is it?”

Elyse relayed Rebecca’s explanation, her words calm and measured. But the moment Celeste heard it, her reaction was as sharp as a thunderclap.

“Absolutely not!” Celeste snapped. “Neither of you is going to that!”

Elyse blinked, stunned by the sudden outburst. “Why not? Isn’t it for a good cause?”

Celeste’s expression darkened, her anger palpable. After a long pause, she asked, “Did Cody ever tell you about your father?”

Elyse felt a jolt of confusion. What did her father have to do with any of this?

“Didn’t he ever explain why things fell apart between us?” Celeste pressed, her tone as cold as winter frost.

Elyse shook her head, completely at a loss. Neither she nor Gavin had ever heard a whisper of tension between Cody and Celeste. Cody had never uttered a single word about it.

Your next adventure is at g al n ovels . con

Celeste sighed heavily, as if the weight of the past bore down on her. “I understand why Cody wouldn’t want to bring it up. It hurt too much. But trust me, attending that performance will only lead to pain.”

Elyse’s curiosity burned brighter, but Celeste shut the door to further explanation, refusing to say more. She simply repeated her firm refusal, insisting that they were not to attend.

After breakfast, Celeste left abruptly, leaving Elyse sitting at the table, lost in a storm of unanswered questions.

“Want me to dig around and see what I can find?” Jayden offered gently.

Elyse nodded. “Please. I need to know.”
