Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband

Chapter 1476:

Freda pouted, clutching the dresses tighter. “It might be a casual dinner for you, but for me, this is a rare opportunity. I want to impress Gavin.”

Jayden snorted. “I think his lasting impression of you was when you were with Theo Ward.”

Freda glared at him, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment. “Shut up, Jayden!” She looked ready to strangle him on the spot.

Elyse sighed, already tired of the argument. “Fine. Wear them if you want,” she relented.

Freda’s face lit up instantly. “Thanks! Once Gavin and I are together, I’ll make sure to treat you well. And we can be best friends.”

Elyse raised an eyebrow, her lips twitching in amusement. She wasn’t sure how to respond to such an absurd promise, so she settled for a wry smile.

Jayden, however, wasn’t ready to let it go. “Why is she so confident she’ll end up with Gavin?” he asked, glancing at Elyse.

Elyse frowned at him. “Why do you think she won’t?”

Jayden shrugged, leaning back lazily. “Ultimately, it’s Gavin’s decision. But have you ever heard him talk about love? He comes off like a man who will die alone.”

Elyse scowled. “Don’t say that about him. He’s just selective. He’d rather be alone than settle for the wrong person.”

Jayden shook his head, a small smirk on his face. “Even if he were to give Freda a chance, it’d be a long, uphill battle. He strikes me as the type to make people suffer before letting them in.”

Elyse tilted her head, clearly confused. “Why do you see him that way? Is there anything positive you can say about him?”

Jayden gave her a meaningful look, his tone turning serious. “You don’t get it. Men like Gavin are proud, stubborn, and impossible to figure out. Someone like Freda, with her tough exterior but soft heart? She’s easy prey for him.”

Elyse’s worry deepened, her brows furrowing. “You make Gavin sound like some manipulative mastermind. I think you’re being unfair.”

Jayden rolled his eyes, smirking. “Oh, so you think I’m making this up? Fine. Just wait until Gavin gets here. Then you’ll see I’m not pulling your leg.”

Elyse folded her arms, her lips twitching with barely contained skepticism. “Alright then, we’ll wait and see.”

Gavin had no idea that Jayden and Elyse were waiting on him like characters in a personal drama.

When Gavin arrived at Jayden’s place, a neatly wrapped gift in hand, he was met by Elyse’s piercing gaze. Handing her the gift, he quirked a brow and asked, “What’s with the intense stare? Did I grow a second nose or something?”

Elyse quickly shook her head, then blurted out without thinking, “Two noses? What are you, a monster?”

Gavin froze, caught off guard for a beat before a grin broke across his face. “Well, if your violin practice gets any worse, you’ll know whether I’m a monster or not.”

Elyse groaned, waving her hand as if to shoo the awkwardness away. “Never mind. Forget I said anything, okay?”

With a chuckle, Gavin wandered into the living room, where Jayden was lounging on the sofa, sipping tea like he had all the time in the world. “Well, aren’t you the picture of relaxation today?” he remarked, his gaze shifting to the four teacups neatly arranged on the table. “Four cups?” Gavin asked, his brow lifting. “Expecting someone else besides me?”
