Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband

Chapter 1776:

“Flowers? From you? This isn’t like you. What’s the occasion?”

“I didn’t order any flowers,” Jayden remarked.

Elyse’s grin faltered. Driscoll’s expression tightened with unease.

“If not you, then who?” she questioned.

Moving swiftly, Driscoll snatched up the unwelcome bouquet. “I’ll find out, sir.”noveldrama

Jayden’s gaze lingered on Elyse, amusement flickering in his eyes. “Someone surprises you with a gift, and your first instinct is to ask me about it?”

Elyse tensed up. “Are you seriously questioning my loyalty?”

Jayden scoffed, brushing off her words. “Get rid of them. They’re irritating,” he instructed Driscoll coldly.

Without hesitation, Driscoll carried them away.

Jayden strode upstairs, irritation rolling off him in waves. Elyse followed closely behind.

Once inside, she could feel his frustration filling the space. Desperate to ease the tension, she blurted, “Don’t be upset! I had no idea who sent them. I just assumed they were from you.”

Jayden’s lips curved into a sarcastic smirk. “Seems like whoever it was knows you better than I do. They even picked your favorites.”

Elyse recognized his jealousy, irrational as it was. He was brooding, and she knew how difficult it was to calm him in this mood.

Planting her hands on her hips, she challenged him. “Can you speak to me properly?”

“What’s that supposed to mean? I’m not shouting, am I?” he retorted.

Elyse let out an exasperated chuckle. He was being so childish. Rather than argue, she climbed onto his lap, cradled his face, and bit his lip—teasing yet firm.

Jayden inhaled sharply, lips parting slightly, just enough for her tongue to slip through.

His eyes widened in shock. She was unusually daring tonight. Normally, she shied away when he tried to prolong a kiss.

Since she rarely took the lead, he decided to enjoy it, but then he sensed that something felt off.

He pulled back, noticing her lips slick with moisture. “We’ve done this countless times. You still haven’t mastered it?” he asked, discreetly swiping his lips.

Elyse lifted her chin, defiance gleaming in her eyes. “Excuse me? I happen to be excellent at kissing.”

Jayden chuckled. “You made it feel like you were gnawing on a bone. This is my mouth, not a chew toy.” He ruffled her hair. “Let me demonstrate how it’s really done.” He drew her in, capturing her lips in a deep, lingering kiss.

Elyse melted into it, but she wasn’t about to let him win. Tonight, she was taking control. He’d been insufferable, and she planned to put him in his place. Shoving him back, she pinned him to the mattress.

Jayden blinked up at her before bursting into laughter. “Did you sneak a drink or something? You’re feisty tonight.”
