Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband

Chapter 1550:

Edward rested his chin on his palm, tilting his head to study her face.

Inside, a voice screamed at him, “Take her away. Leave everything behind and start anew! You only need to be with her.”

But his rational mind quieted these desperate thoughts. The other voice said, “She’s found her happiness now, and that man will cherish her as you would have. You can’t rewrite life’s timeline. Your chapter has ended.”

Elyse’s thoughts began to blur as fatigue settled in. She stifled a yawn. “Let’s call it a night. I need to head back to the hotel and rest. Tomorrow’s performance awaits.”

Edward looked at her and asked, “If you met me before Jayden, would you have fallen in love with me?”

Elyse sat in contemplative silence, the weight of his question slowly sinking in.

She’d always known of Edward’s feelings, but she’d believed time had dimmed them. Had his heart never truly let go?

Leaning back, she chose her words with careful consideration. “I once tried to make myself fall in love with you.”

Edward’s breath caught, then released in a bitter smile. “But you failed.”

“That’s right. My heart wouldn’t yield. Even if we’d met first, I don’t believe I would have loved you.” Elyse spoke with gentle firmness, her honesty unwavering.noveldrama

She treasured Edward as a friend and refused to toy with his emotions or offer false hope.

Truth might wound, but deception would devastate.

Noting the shadow crossing Edward’s features, Elyse’s voice softened. “Edward, your happiness matters to me more than you know. I can’t be the one to give you what you seek, but someone out there will. They have to.”

Elyse arrived at the event venue earlier than anticipated, mentally prepared for her performance.

While preparing to take the stage, she pulled her phone from her pocket to send a message to Jayden; however, a text from Louise diverted her attention.

“Why does Edward seem so upset today?”

After a brief hesitation, Elyse responded, “I’ve crushed his hope once more.”

Louise replied with a burst of casual laughter.

Keeping her phone, Elyse shifted her focus to her imminent performance.

Promptly at 1:00 pm, the performance kicked off. Scheduled fourth, Elyse entered the stage in shiny black heels, her presence commanding. Her eyes scanned the audience, capturing their absorbed attention. Fearlessness radiated from her, replaced by a commanding aura of mastery. As she positioned herself, she initiated her piece.

The music resonated through the hall, energizing the air. Positioned at the orchestra’s forefront, Elyse fueled the group’s passion with her vigorous lead.

From the audience, Celeste regarded Elyse with an expression of deep admiration and respect.

The music sparked a noticeable excitement among the attendees. The crowd swayed and moved rhythmically, captivated by the melody. In the front row, Louise and Edward were engrossed in Elyse’s performance.
