Bound Hearts: My Vows to My Disabled Spouse

Enjoy Her Admiration

Glenda rolled her eyes. "You treat her like your daughter, even though she isn't. Isn't that unnecessary?"

"Just go, leave me alone, and make sure Mabel doesn't repeat her antics," Lanny replied sharply. He thought for a moment before adding, "Perhaps it's time to find her a boyfriend. She's not cut out for show business. It's probably best to marry her off quickly."

Glenda exhaled deeply. "She's taken a liking to Theo now. She insists on marrying him. What am I supposed to do?"

"Persuade her to consider others. Theo has no interest in her. How could you possibly force him?" Glenda could only shake her head. She couldn't even get close to Theo, much less compel him. Realizing Lanny was reluctant to set Mabel up with Theo, she felt a heavy heart. She knew discussing this with Mabel could potentially anger her, leading Mabel to lose her temper. Exiting the room, she noticed Mabel was ready to shower.

Mabel approached her mom immediately after the latter left the study. "Mom, what were you and Dad talking about?"

Glenda looked at her and answered, "He wants me to find you a boyfriend so you can settle

down.' "Theo?"

"Why him? Theo doesn't even like you. Plus, he left Elyse after three years together. That shows he's not dependable."

Mabel remained unconvinced. "That's only because Elyse wasn't up to the mark! Besides, Theo

never really liked her that much. I'm different. I'm far better than her. In time, he'll see my

strengths." Glenda looked at Mabel with concern. What would she do if Mabel continued to fixate on Theo?

What would happen if Lanny inquired about it later?

Mabel was not interested in continuing the conversation with Glenda, feeling that her mother

simply didn't understand her feelings.

After a relaxing shower, she laid on her bed and started scrolling through her phone. There were still negative comments about her online, and her agent had advised her to stay home until the public backlash subsided before she resumed working. She understood that worrying over the situation was futile. She had just been released from the police station, and maintaining her current freedom was the best she could hope for.

While on her phone, she stumbled upon Theo's Facebook. Back when Elyse and Theo were together, Mabel had managed to get his Facebook details, posing as Elyse's sister. She had secretly sent messages expressing her love, but Theo never responded.

Mabel was aware that he had no romantic feelings for her. Yet, his indifference only made him more appealing to her, and she found his aloofness charming.

However, she had refrained from messaging him again, especially since Theo was planning to marry Elyse. She feared the repercussions, particularly the possibility of him mentioning her messages to her parents, which could lead to a good scolding.

But now that Theo and Elyse had split, Mabel felt there was nothing to lose by pursuing him.

After pondering for a moment, she sent a message to Theo without << any further hesitation.

After having sex, Theo and Kaelyn laid together on the bed, naked. Suddenly, Theo's phone on the

bedside table vibrated. He picked it up and glanced at the screen.

Kaelyn, curious, peeked over and noticed it was a message from Elyse's sister. A flash of

annoyance crossed her face, but she masked her irritation with nonchalance.

"Why are you friends with Elyse's sister?" she inquired casually.

He had met Mabel before and had not had a favorable impression of her from the start. She had frequently sent him unwelcome messages, which he neither responded to nor did he bother to block or delete her.

Noticing the look on Theo's face, Kaelyn smiled playfully and held his chin. "You don't like Elyse's sister, but you seem to enjoy her admiration"

"You know me too well, Theo admitted. If he hadn't enjoyed the attention at some level, he would have cut off contact with Mabel long ago.

Kaelyn kept her smile, understanding Theo's mindset perfectly. Having been with various men before, she could easily read their thoughts.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Despite Theo's attempts to appear noble and virtuous, she knew his true nature was self-serving, cold, and ruthless.

"I'm your haven of tenderness," she coed. "Whenever you're hurt or weary, I'm here to offer you comfort. Honey, aren't I the best?"
