Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband

Chapter 1494:

She’d known that Freda had been chasing Gavin for a while, but had it really happened this fast?

Elyse could hardly wrap her head around it. She quickly dialed Gavin’s number, hoping to get some clarity, but he didn’t pick up.

She sat there, completely stunned.

Chloe, noticing Elyse’s dazed expression, raised an eyebrow and asked, “What’s up? You look shocked.”

Elyse rubbed her temples, trying to shake off the surprise. “I’m fine. It’s just… Gavin’s announced he’s in a relationship.”

Chloe nodded knowingly. “But isn’t it a good thing? I mean, he’s happy, right? Can’t you handle it?”

“It’s not that I can’t handle it,” Elyse replied, pausing as she tried to find the right words. “It’s just… yesterday, they were still—” She trailed off, unsure if she even needed to say it out loud. She decided not to dwell on it.

Gavin was always the more level-headed one, so if he’d made this decision, it was probably the best one for him.

With that thought, Elyse took a deep breath and let the emotions settle. She took a sip of her drink to calm her nerves and then said, “My cousin’s taking me out for dinner later. Want to tag along?”

Chloe’s eyes lit up with interest. “Free food? Of course, I’m in.”

Elyse grinned and nodded. “Great. I’ll let him know.”noveldrama

Curious, Chloe asked with a playful twinkle, “Is your cousin single?”

Elyse glanced up from her phone, slightly surprised. “Yeah, he is. Why? You into him?”

Chloe let out a dramatic sigh. “It’s not so much about him. It’s just… all my friends are in relationships, and I’m the only one flying solo. Feels like I’m the last person on Earth.”

Without someone to call my own. Elyse raised an eyebrow. “So, you thinking about giving my cousin a shot? I could help you out, you know.”

Chloe shook her head with a laugh. “Nah, I’m good. I’d rather stay single. If I ever did get into a relationship, I’d probably get bored and break up before it even went anywhere.”

Elyse sighed, feeling a bit helpless. “With that kind of attitude, when do you think you’ll ever meet your Mr. Right?”

Chloe took a calm, unhurried bite of her cake. “No rush. Love will find me when it’s ready. I’m working hard, so I trust the universe won’t let me down.”

Elyse nodded, agreeing with her. “You’re right. Love is probably just waiting for you around the corner.”

But even as she said that, she couldn’t help but think that maybe it was worth a shot. Maybe tonight would be the night Chloe and Pearce clicked. If not, no big deal.

That evening, Elyse and Chloe arrived at the restaurant as planned. The moment they stepped into the private dining room, Elyse felt the weight of eight sets of eyes on her.
