Bound Hearts: My Vows to My Disabled Spouse

I'm Not A Maid

Richie's remark startled both Jayden and Elyse. They exchanged glances before simultaneously turning away, an unspoken agreement between them. Although they remained silent, there was a subtle shift in their mood for the better.

Seeing that they didn't contradict him, Richie grew more enthusiastic. "So you are Mr. Owen's

wife. I must be blind not to have noticed. I'd like to formally invite you to dinner next time. Please, don't turn me down."

Elyse's lips twitched into a reluctant smile, and she nodded her agreement.

Richie then urged, "You should probably head back now. Your maid looks quite displeased. She might be cursing you under her breath."

Maid? Judy was taken aback, wondering if Richie was referring to her. Once she realized he was, she managed a forced smile. "You're mistaken. I'm not a maid," she corrected gently.

Richie scrutinized her further, his expression skeptical. "That's hard to believe. You don't seem like you come from a wealthy and influential family."

Judy felt a surge of anger. Richie's careless words in front of Jayden threatened to undo the

positive impression she had worked hard to establish. "I am not a maid. You're wrong," she

insisted once more.

Richie, still puzzled, asked, "If you're not a maid, why are you following them around?"

His blunt words left Judy at a loss for words, unable to muster a quick response.

"Mr. Owen, please defend me. How can he speak about me in such a manner?" She looked to Jayden for support, hoping he would intervene on her behalf.

However, Jayden barely glanced at her and responded with impatience, "You are a maid, aren't you? He's not wrong."

Judy was stunned. Despite her close relationship with Jayden today, he hadn't come to her defense. Why?

Elyse approached and took hold of Jayden's wheelchair, bidding Richie farewell before turning to leave with Jayden.

Judy hurried after them, eager to take over wheeling Jayden herself. In her mind, that was a duty

fit for a wife, and she saw herself as Jayden's true spouse, not willing to concede the role to Elyse. Just as Judy was about to make an excuse to intervene, Richie stopped her. "Where do you live? Let's go together."

Richie, treating Judy as an outsider, believed he was being thoughtful and considerate to all

women.

As Jayden and Elyse moved further away, Judy grew anxious to catch up but Richie held her back, asserting, "Enough. You're just a third wheel. Stay away from them. I'll see you

home."

Frustrated and fed up with Richie, Judy protested, "I'll go back with them."

Richie paused, then responded with a sarcastic smile, "I understand you reject the title of a maid,This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

but let's face it. Your self-importance is truly unparalleled."

Judy could no longer contain her anger. Pointing at Richie, she exploded. "What is wrong with you? How is my relationship with Jayden any of your concern? I was his companion long before any of this. Why can't I follow them?"

When she turned around, Judy realized that Jayden and Elyse were no longer in sight. Her heart

Richie, taking a step back to distance himself, retorted, "You're delusional! You claim you're not a maid, yet act like one, and now you even think you're Mr. Owen's woman. If you were, then what does that make Elyse?"

After a brief pause, Richie dismissed her, "Forget it. I'm not taking a lunatic home. You can go back by yourself." He then walked away without a second glance.

Fuming, Judy hurried to catch up with Jayden and Elyse, but they were nowhere to be seen not even their car.

Feeling utterly humiliated, Judy clenched her teeth. For a moment, she considered just going home, but she soon regained her composure. She had only been at Jayden's house for a day. It was natural for him to overlook her.

"As long as I stay with Jayden longer, he'll remember me," she reassured herself, convinced that she could eventually replace Elyse.
