Bound Hearts: My Vows to My Disabled Spouse

Chapter 311 Making A Scene

Feeling unjustly accused, Elyse's heart bristled with indignation. She shrugged off Tess' hand. "When did I betray Jayden? Please, don't make unfounded accusations."

"Unfounded accusations? Stop denying it!" Tess snapped, her frustration evident as she retrieved her phone from her bag. With a quick motion, she dimmed the screen and presented it to Elyse. "Take a look for yourself. Didn't you have an affair? You were seen embracing another man. Do you truly believe the Owen family is oblivious to such matters?"

As Elyse studied the photos, a myriad of retorts danced on her tongue, but she them

back. Instead, she met Jayden's gaze. "Haven't all these images been deleted from the internet?" "They've been dealt with, but a few slipped through the cracks, and someone managed to save them." Jayden glanced towards Tess, questioning, "Who sent these photos to you?"

In the grip of her anger, Tess bellowed, "It doesn't matter who sent them! What matters is that Elyse betrayed you. You need to divorce her, or you'll have to forget me being your mother." With a sense of smug satisfaction, Tess crossed her arms and fixed Elyse with a challenging stare, convinced Jayden would act as she

desired.

After all, no man could tolerate being cheated on.

Yet, Jayden didn't react as Tess anticipated.

Instead, he calmly instructed Tess to leave. "You've said your piece. It's time for you to go." Tess was taken aback by Jayden's dismissal. "You're kicking me out? I came here to support you. How dare you push me away? Are you trying to disown me?"

Jayden's response was nonchalant. "You ever consider me your son?"

Tess' expression darkened at the unexpected retort from her

But Jayden had no desire to engage further. "If I were to divorce Elyse, who would you suggest I marry?"

Seated on the sofa, Tess accepted the tea offered by Driscoll, took a sip, and spoke deliberately. "Naturally, someone who can be of assistance to you. I believe Corrie is a suitable candidate. If At the mention of Corrie, Elyse was bewildered. Did Tess genuinely not know, or was she pretending not to know that Corrie was now seeing Brook?

Elyse's confusion deepened as she turned to Jayden, silently seeking clarification. Had Corrie and Brook parted ways after just a few days together?

Jayden's interest piqued as he inquired, "Did Corrie persuade you to e to me?"

Tess, rolling her eyes at Jayden's assumption, replied, "She didn't persuade me. I decided to

e."

With a flick of her fingers, Tess enlarged a photo on her phone, her tone turning intense. "Let me you, don't you intend to divorce Elyse, now that you've discovered she is like this?" Jayden shook his head firmly. "No."

Tess, frustration evident in her demeanor, abruptly rose from her seat, a stream of curses escaping her lips. "Having a son like you is beyond humiliating. You're forsaking a wonderful woman like Corrie. If you persist with Elyse, a fickle woman who will likely betray you again, don't expect me to support you."

Though Jayden didn't mind being scolded by Tess, he couldn't tolerate her berating Elyse. His casual fagade dropped, replaced by a cold demeanor. "Driscoll, escort our guest out." Driscoll promptly approached Tess, gesturing for her to leave.

Tess couldn't fathom the notion that Jayden would actually insist on her departure. "Are you serious? I'm your mother!"

With a livid expression, Jayden asserted, "You've shown no respect for me or my wife. Despite being my mother, you must leave our home."

"How dare you contradict me. You, the seductress, must have manipulated him. I must teach you

a lesson." Enraged, Tess raised her purse, poised to strike Elyse in her fury.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Elyse, with her legs injured, found herself unable to evade in time as Tess's purse collided with her face.

Tess still harbored intentions of striking Elyse once more. Unable to witness such hostility any longer, Jayden tenderly cradled Elyse in his arms, his voice soothing as he intervened, "Elyse's past rumors have been quelled. Moreover, Corrie is now dating Brook. It's time to cease these impulsive actions, lest you incur the wrath of Brook and his family."

Tess, caught off guard, drew in a sharp breath, her agitation gradually subsiding as she processed Jayden's words. "Corrie is seeing Brook?"

After a moment of bewildered contemplation, Tess's countenance underwent a shift. Hastily grabbing her purse, she departed in haste, leaving behind a charged atmosphere.

Internally chastising Tess's recklessness, Jayden turned his attention back to Elyse, his touch

gentle as he reassured her, "Let me tend to your face and ensure you're not injured."

Elyse, still nursing her wounded pride, shook her head in reluctance "I'm fine," she replied, her voice tinged with

Jayden sensed that Elyse's mood would be less than sunny today, evident from the shadows that lingered over her disposition.

However, if Elyse was in a gloomy state, his own mood would undoubtedly mirror hers.
