Bound Hearts: My Vows to My Disabled Spouse

History Tends To Repeat Itself

Elyse recalled Taylor's sly grin just as Shaun and the hotel staff burst outside. Urging Tracy onto the motorcycle, they quickly mounted it and the engine roared to life.

As they sped away, a bodyguard reached out and snatched the white veil from Tracy's head, detaching it from her hair.

Tracy's long hair fluttered in the wind as she turned to see Shaun, his face twisted with anger and resentment.

With a liberating smile, she yelled back, "I don't like you anymore. Go back to your ex! I don't give a damn!"

Elyse then drove off towards the sea with her.

Sitting on a seaside reef, she sent a message to Jayden. Relief washed over her when she found

out he had left the hotel with Tracy's parents. However, she wondered why Shaun had been so unexpectedly accommodating.

Seconds later, Jayden replied, "If I decide to leave, how can Shaun possibly stop me?"

Elyse chuckled, picturing Shaun's furious expression.

Turning around, she noticed Tracy sitting on a nearby reef.

She had removed her crystal high heels, and her white gown was now smeared with sand and

mud, making her look somewhat wild with her disheveled hair.

"Jayden will pick us up later, Elyse informed her. Then she stood up and joined Tracy on the reef. Tracy stared blankly at the vast sea. "What do you think a former lover represents ina man's mind?"

Her question reminded Elyse of Theo. When they were together, Theo's ongoing entanglement with Kaelyn had caused her repeated pain. In his heart, Kaelyn was the lover he couldn't forget. "Perhaps a former lover is someone for whom a man would forsake his own wedding." Tracy knew about Theo and Elyse's past and sought to comfort her. "But it doesn't matter now. You're married to Jayden, and he doesn't have any woman in his heart."

Elyse felt embarrassed and admitted with some apprehension, "Actually... I don't know if Jayden has had any girlfriends before. He's never spoken to me about his past relationships."

Seeing the fear in her eyes, Tracy reassured her with a smile, "What are you afraid of? You are his wife now. Besides, he is disabled. Who else would accept that?"

She paused thoughtfully before adding, "Don't dwell too much on what happened to me. You and Jayden are meant to be happy together."

Elyse nodded, her resolve firm. She saw Jayden as her husband, now and for the

future.

Suddenly, the sound of a car horn broke her thoughts.

Turning around, she saw Jayden's car parked by the roadside. "Let's go. It's time to go home."

As they settled into the car, Jayden filled them in on what had happened after they left the venue. Shaun's grandmother, who was seriously ill, had rushed over from the hospital to put an end to

the spectacle.

Tracy bit her lip. "His grandma is very fond of me. Shaun agreed to marry me just to fulfill her wish. I've called off the wedding. Now I feel sorry for her kindness to me."

Elyse comforted Tracy, saying, "It's not your fault. It's Shaun's issue. Don't blame yourself."

Tracy returned to the hotel to change into simpler clothes before they all headed straight to the airport.

Upon arriving, Elyse noticed Lowell. He still had the air of nobility but seemed more relaxed, as if he had accomplished his mission to disrupt the wedding.

Tracy also spotted Lowell and walked up to him without expression, tossing a bank card from her pocket at him. "Here, take it back."

Lowell raised his eyebrows. "It's just a small sum. You keep it."

Tracy retorted, "Who needs your dirty money?"NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Disgusted by Lowell, she vowed never to return to Liverton.

Elyse, pushing Jayden's wheelchair, passed by Lowell.

He couldn't resist stopping her. "You finally lost to me. Doesn't that bother you?"

Elyse sneered in response, "Do you really think your sister will be happy with Shaun after you've ruined the wedding? Don't make me laugh. History tends to repeat itself."

Lowell's expression darkened. "Are you cursing her?"

Elyse replied coolly, "If that's what you think, there's nothing I can do. I'm just curious to see how long you can shield your sister's love." With a roll of her eyes, she continued pushing Jayden's wheelchair away.
