Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband

Chapter 1537:

Lowell froze, his body stiffening as if bracing for a blow. After a moment, he lowered his head, his voice subdued. “Why bring up Tracy? She’s been gone for months.”

Jayden’s expression hardened. “Just because no one mentions her doesn’t mean we’ve forgotten. Have you?”

Lowell’s jaw tightened, anger flashing in his eyes.

After a long, tense silence, he finally spoke. “Anyway, I’ve said what I needed to. I’m leaving.” Without waiting for a reply, he turned and walked off.

Jayden watched him go, the satisfaction of unsettling Lowell fading. He soon lost the desire to linger and headed home.

Back at home, Jayden recounted his exchange with Lowell to Elyse.

Elyse was livid when she discovered the Ruiz family planned to profit from the commotion. “What’s the matter with Dolores? Why does she thrive on scheming? And seriously—does she have to marry Shaun?”

Jayden, lounging comfortably on the bed, replied with a trace of amusement, “Maybe she’s just utterly fixated on him.”noveldrama

“Twisting someone’s arm to stay in their life isn’t love; it’s control, plain and simple,” Elyse fumed, folding her arms tightly. “Why does she have this obsessive grip on Shaun and no one else?”

“Because he almost tied the knot with Tracy. That near-miss has burrowed into Dolores’s mind, turning into an unhealthy obsession,” Jayden remarked knowingly, peeling back the layers of Dolores’s stubborn motives.

Elyse began pacing, her heels clicking on the hardwood floor. After a moment, she stopped and declared, “No way—we can’t let Dolores have her way. You’ve got to warn Shaun to steer clear of the Ruiz family.”

Jayden gave a reassuring nod. “Relax, I’ve already given him the heads-up.”

Elyse exhaled in relief but then tilted her head with curiosity. “Wait—you really brought up Tracy in front of Lowell? How’d he take it?”

Jayden smirked at the memory. “He had this cocktail of emotions written all over his face, but guilt wasn’t one of them.” After a beat, he added, “Oh, and he’s seeing someone.”

Elyse’s eyes widened, her disbelief evident. “Lowell’s seeing someone? I once thought he’d end up with Dolores…”

Jayden chuckled, shaking his head. “That’s exactly what I told him. You should’ve seen his expression.”

Meanwhile, Lowell sat alone in his car, a cigarette dangling from his lips. Though he didn’t take a single drag, the ash crumbled to the tip as it burned itself out.

He crushed it in the ashtray before fishing out his phone. After a brief hesitation, he dialed Tracy’s number.

Tracy, still awake, picked up quickly. Her voice carried a hint of surprise. “Lowell? Shouldn’t you be working? What’s up?”

Lowell’s voice softened, a rare vulnerability creeping in. “I just… miss you,” he admitted quietly.

For a moment, Tracy was caught off guard. Then, with warmth in her tone, she replied, “If you miss me, then come over. I’m home, and I’d love your company.”

Lowell’s lips curled into a faint smile. “Alright, I’m on my way. Need me to grab you any snacks, darling?”

Tracy’s voice turned playful. “No snacks for me, honey. Just having you here is more than enough.”
