Bound Hearts: My Vows to My Disabled Spouse

Swear To Disown Him

Jayden was as stubborn as ever.

Brook smirked at him. "I never pegged you to be an affectionate person,< nor did I expect you to end up being so deeply attached to Elyse."

Jayden didn't even look at him. "Instead of speculating on my personality and relationship, you should hurry and find yourself a wife."

Brook glanced at Elyse and gave a little snort. "Well, I need to get back to the company for a meeting." Then he left.

"What did he mean?" Elyse asked Jayden once Brook was done. "What does he have to do with Joanna' suicide that he would specifically come and inquire about it?"

"He did go out of his way, didn't he? That must mean there's a connection between him and Joanna."

Joanna had once managed to slip from the whole Owen family's watch, and on such an important day, too. Not only that, but she was also able to hide and away for a certain length of time. She would have never done these things without the help of someone powerful. Moreover, she was somehow allowed to show up at Enzo's house afterward. If Brook hadn't interceded on her behalf, she might have been beaten at first sight.

Jayden sneered inwardly. It seemed that Brook had really gone all out just to win their

grandfather's favor and seize leadership of the Owen family.

"Mr. Owen, your mother is calling. Driscoll came over holding the home phone, looking a little

worried.

Jayden was quite surprised. His parents had been cold to him ever since the accident.

No one even called to greet him during the festivals or any other special occasions. Why was his

mother calling now?

He took the phone and pressed it to his ear. Before he could even greet his mother, she spoke ina tired voice. "Come home, Jayden. Something happened to your brother."

"If he is ill, then send him to the hospital," Jayden said calmly. "What do you expect a cripple like me to do about his circumstances?"

This wasn't the response Tess was expecting from him. "How can you say such things?" she snapped. "! tell you something happened to your brother, and this is how you react? You are his big brother, for goodness' sake! Come home right away, or you can just forget you ever had a mother."

She was snarling toward the end, in a voice so loud that even Elyse heard her. "What happened to your brother?" she whispered to Jayden with a frown. "Why would your mother talk about disowning you?"

"Mr. Owen?" Driscoll also asked with concern. "What happened?"

Jayden ignored their questions and handed the phone back to the butler. "Arrange for a car. I

won't know what happened if I don't go there."

And so, Elyse and Jayden drove over to his parents' house.

They had barely stepped on the porch when they heard the commotion inside-Bryce was sobbing,

while Tess and Andrew fought in the background.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Taking a deep breath to brace herself, Elyse followed Jayden through the front door. She was

greeted by a tea cup soaring in her direction <<> like a missile landing on its target. Fortunately, Jayden caught it at the last second, or she would have been gravely

injured.

Jayden fiddled with the cup and glared at his brother. "Bryce," he said slowly, "if you throw another temper tantrum, I will throw you out."

Elyse was surprised to see Bryce calm down the moment he saw Jayden, but there was an obvious resentment in the younger man's eyes.

Now that Bryce had finally quieted down, Tess turned to Jayden and proceeded to berate him. "How can you say that to your little brother? Throw him out? Who do you think you are?" Then she walked up to Bryce and took his face in her hands. "What is it, my baby? Why are you upset, hmm? Did something happen?"

Bryce just turned away without saying anything, and stepped away from his mother.

He had been kicking up a fuss out of nowhere, and Andrew was utterly exhausted. "If you have something to say, then come out of your room and discuss it with us like a proper adult!" He

Tess took Bryce's hand and urged him out of his bedroom. When they passed by Jayden, Bryce deliberately bumped into Jayden's wheelchair.

Bryce was an overweight person, and he didn't hold back his strength. He used so much force that Jayden's wheelchair was almost overturned to the side.

Elyse hurriedly took the handles and steadied the wheelchair. "What are you doing?" she asked, exasperated. "Are you trying to hurt Jayden?"

Bryce just rolled his eyes at her and snorted.

Tess, on the other hand, turned sharply and glared at her with disapproval. "What are you being

so cross for? Jayden didn't get hurt, did he? He's sitting right there! I'm warning you, don't even think about criticizing my son."

Elyse had already known about Tess's favoritism toward Bryce, but she never expected it to be this bad. She opened her mouth to defend Jayden, but he stopped her.

"It's okay. You don't have to do anything on my account."

He had long since grown used to this treatment. It didn't even affect him now.

But it was all new to Elyse, and she couldn't help but feel aggrieved for him.

Just then, something caught her eye. On the floor just inside Bryce's room was a phone. Its screen was lit up, and on it was Joanna's photo.
