Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband

Chapter 1391:

“Precisely. We can pretend to be an item to silence our family. Privately, you deal with your complex relationship with your ex, and I’ll keep looking for the one. Does that sound like a good plan?”

Elyse and Victor celebrated their partnership with a cheerful high-five as they entered the living room, instantly catching the watchful eyes of Pearce and Felicia.

“We were just having a good talk.”

“You really expect me to believe that?” Pearce, suspecting more, cornered Victor against the wall.

“Why is my grandma trying to set you up with Elyse?”

Pearce released him, muttering,

“She’s getting too involved. Elyse isn’t going to like this at all.”

“Why don’t you believe that Elyse and I could fall in love at first sight?” Victor asked.

With a dismissive snort, Pearce replied,

“That’s laughable. She wouldn’t be interested in you.”

Temporarily silenced, Victor finally said,

“Both you and Elyse seem overly confident. Ever consider that I might not be interested in her?”

Pearce was unwavering.

“Whether or not you’re interested, she wouldn’t be interested in you anyway.”

At his breaking point, Victor was about to confront Pearce physically when Pearce quickly left the bathroom and returned to the group.

Elyse said,

“Dinner’s on the table. You two finally showed up.”

During dinner, Elyse ate quickly, planning her exit, but Felicia kept steering the conversation towards Victor.
