Bound Hearts: My Vows to My Disabled Spouse

A Love-struck Theo

Freda received Theo's call and quickly arranged a meeting place before ending the conversation. Theo, wearing a mask, arrived at the designated spot. Freda was already there, dressed in a light- colored, floral-patterned dress, her hair neatly done up, and her makeup subtly

applied

For a moment, Theo mistook her for Elyse.

Elyse liked dressing up that way. But it didn't quite fit Freda.

Elyse, with her gentle and easygoing nature, suited such soft styles.

Freda, on the other hand, was vibrant and chatty, her usual look more bold and captivating. This subdued style didn't reflect her true personality.

Looking at Freda, Theo said indifferently, "Miss Jimenez, this outfit doesn't seem like you. Please change to your usual style."

Freda felt a wave of embarrassment.

She had researched Elyse's favorite styles and dressed accordingly to impress Theo.

However, Theo noticed it immediately and pointed it out directly.

Embarrassed and annoyed, Freda forced a smile and asked, "You used to call me Freda. Why have

you suddenly started calling me Miss Jimenez?"

After a brief silence, Theo decided to be honest. "I've reconsidered everything. I think it's best we

end things and go back to how things were before."

Surprised, Freda inquired, "Why? Didn't we agree to date more and see how things go?"

Theo nodded. "Yes, we did agree, but I've realized we're not patible. If I've hurt you, I'm readyProperty of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

to make it up to you."

Freda's smile vanished, and her voice turned cold. "Give me a reason. I won't accept this without one."

Theo replied, "I've realized who I truly love. The woman I love is Elyse Lloyd. As a psychology major, you understand the concept of exclusivity. I don't want to be with anyone but Elyse." Freda stared at him in disbelief. "Elyse Lloyd? You're dumping me because of her?"

Her tone made Theo frown. He clarified, "We were never officially together. It's not fair to say I'm dumping you."

"Elyse is married. You can't be with her. And you are still choosing to love her?" Freda tried to confirm with him again.

Theo's patience was wearing thin, puzzled why everyone was so surprised that he wanted to win Elyse back.

Jayden, Elyse's husband, was disabled, Theo couldn't understand how Elyse could settle for someone in such a condition.

Though Elyse often spoke highly of how well jayden treated her, Theo suspected she felt

pelled to say that because she was married to him. Surely, she wouldn't criticize her husband

openly.

Elyse was too considerate to ever publicly embarrass her husband. Whether it was Jayden or any other man.

Theo's words disheartened Freda. She had feelings for him, which was the only reason she had

entertained the idea of a relationship with him. To move their relationship forward, she even wore

a dress she disliked just to impress him.

She would have gone to great lengths for him, yet she felt let down by the oute.

Freda bit her lip, struggling to e to terms with the situation.

Being from a wealthy background, she was unaccustomed to such

rejection

Seeing her silence, Theo assumed she had e to accept the reality. He stood up and said,

"Miss Jimenez, take care."

Freda hesitantly asked, "Aren't you interested in my family's

resources?

partnership. I won't oppose."

Freda's anger flared. "What's so special about Elyse Lloyd that you'd cancel a project worth 100 billion dollars? Don't you want to make money? That's profit. That's money!"

Freda's focus on financial gain reminded Theo of Zandra, who also prioritized wealth above all. Freda scoffed, "You're sacrificing a fortune for a married woman. Theo Ward, are you so love- struck?"

Theo sighed and said, "Miss Jimenez, perhaps you've never been in love, but love can make even the richest sums seem trivial."

A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of Freda's mouth.

She thought Theo was hopelessly in love. However, she remembered that he had left Elyse at the

altar. Otherwise, why would Elyse have ended up with Jayden?

Theo could read her mind. He understood that others might not grasp or even ridicule his feelings. He even despised himsetf at times.

Regardless of whether Elyse would reciprocate, he was determined to try winning her back.

Surely, he couldn't lose out to a cripple like Jayden, could he?
