Bound Hearts: My Vows to My Disabled Spouse

Harbored No Regrets

Upon hearing this, Tess's heart softened.

She placed her hand on Corrie's back, comforting her. "Don't cry, Corrie. You're a good girl and

you care for Jayden; I see that. Even though you and Jayden have feelings for each other, someone else is in the picture. There's nothing we can do,"

Jayden's mood darkened upon hearing this.

"Mom, please watch what you say." His tone was icy.

A chill swept through Tess, erasing her arrogance. She asserted stubbornly, "It's true. You and Corrie would have made a great couple, but you married that woman. You're driving me crazy!" Corrie responded softly, trying to calm Tess. "Please don't bring that up. I knew I lost my chance with Jayden when I moved abroad last year."

She wiped away a tear and continued with a hurt voice, "It's hard for me. I wasn't there for Jayden when he needed me most."

As she spoke, her tears flowed even more. "My parents didn't tell me anything about Jayden's condition while I was abroad. I assumed he was living well."

Corrie calmly wiped her tears. She knew she was in the right, she harbored no regrets about leaving Jayden.

She couldn't afford to let anyone uncover her history with Jayden, particularly the part where she had left him.

"Tess, I'm really sorry. If anyone misinterprets this, could you vouch for me? It's been hard enough losing Jayden."

Tess nodded.

Corrie was like a daughter to her, and she would defend her no matter what.

"Don't worry. I'll always support you."

Pretending to be touched, Corrie hugged her tightly and said, "! know. You're even better than my mom."

Embracing Corrie, Tess expressed earnestly, "It would have been wonderful if you had married Jayden."

Corrie didn't respond.

She had achieved her objective, and this scene was meant for others to see.

If questioned, she planned to claim she had apologized and sought reconciliation with Jayden, but© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

he had refused her.

Even if it made her seem desperate, it was preferable to being labeled heartless. Meanwhile, Bryce sat there eating his birthday cake, filled with confusion.

Today was supposed to be his celebration, yet why did it seem like he was invisible?
