Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband

Chapter 1431:

Jayden frowned. “What are you doing here? You think you can just barge into our room?”

“I was bored, needed someone to chat with,” Shaun explained lamely.

Jayden interrupted him, “Your dad’s proposal has been accepted. I’m in charge of you until your memory comes back.”

A spark of hope lit up Shaun’s face. “So I can stick around with you guys?”noveldrama

Jayden’s face remained impassive. “You’ll be staying in a nearby house. Someone will be there to look after you. And while you’re getting your memory back, I expect you to keep out of trouble.”

Shaun stared at him, his face a mixture of disbelief and frustration. “You’re not seriously going to keep me locked up, are you?”

“Not locked up, but I do expect your full cooperation.” With that, Jayden grabbed Shaun’s arm and guided him downstairs with a firm grip.

In the living room, Velma and Hanley were seated, looking somewhat uneasy. Jayden checked his watch, breaking the slight tension. “It’s already lunchtime,” he suggested casually. “To celebrate our new arrangement, why don’t you join me for a meal?”

Hanley and Velma exchanged hesitant glances. Before either could respond, Shaun was already bounding toward the dining room. “I was hoping you’d say that! I’m starving. Watching Elyse eat made me want to snatch her plate.”

Hanley’s expression soured at Shaun’s lack of decorum. “You good-for-nothing! Where did you pick up such manners?”

Shaun tossed a cheeky look over his shoulder. “You said you’re my father, so I guess I learned from you.”

Hanley clutched his chest, momentarily winded by the retort.

Velma quickly intervened, “Let it go, Hanley. He doesn’t remember anything, not even us. How can we expect him to know proper manners?”

Taking a deep breath to calm himself, Hanley managed a strained smile. “Jayden, I’m so sorry,” he said, trying to smooth things over. “My son’s been quite the challenge lately. I really appreciate your patience.”

Jayden nodded, a gesture of understanding. “Don’t worry about it. I’ll handle it as promised.”

After all, Hanley was compensating him generously, and Jayden understood the language of money all too well.

Despite Shaun’s uncouth behavior, Hanley and Velma remained throughout the meal. He was still their son, after all, and their affection was evident. When Hanley and Velma finally left, Shaun showed no such attachment.

The moment the door closed behind them, he eagerly asked, “So, which room is mine?”

“Like I mentioned before,” Jayden responded firmly, “this is my house. You won’t be staying here. I’m taking you to your new place now.”

Elyse appeared at the foot of the stairs just then. Catching Shaun’s disappointed expression, she added, “I’ll come along.”

The three of them climbed into the car and drove to the house Jayden had selected for Shaun.

Located in the neighboring gated villa complex, the house was modest compared to a mansion but perfectly suitable for one person.
