Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband

Chapter 1515:

Raw fury blazed in her eyes. “Fine!” she snarled, trembling with rage. “I’ll bring you your precious proof! Don’t think you can weasel your way out of this!”

With that declaration hanging in the air, she stormed off, dragging her parents in her wake.

Only when they were safely ensconced in their car did Lucille dare voice her concern, her words barely above a whisper. “What proof could you possibly have? We both know Shaun never laid a finger on you.”

“Oh my God! If we don’t have proof,” she paused, her mind racing with possibilities, “why not fabricate it? After all, Shaun’s memory is already compromised!”

Her father, Leon Ruiz, spoke up. “Are you really that determined to marry Shaun? The world is full of eligible men who might actually want to build a life with you, not someone we’d have to trap with lies.”

“Marry someone else?” Dolores clenched her jaw, her eyes blazing with frustration. “Why would I ever think of that? Shaun belongs to a reputable family, he’s attractive, and I know everything about him. There’s no one else who compares.”

Leon silently agreed. The Kennedys had always been his preferred choice for forming a strategic bond, but Shaun’s memory loss had turned him into a mystery, making Leon second-guess his plans.

“Dad, you need to support me with this!” Dolores demanded.

Leon glanced at her before replying, “What about Lowell? Let him take care of it.”

Dolores rolled her eyes. “Lowell? Have you forgotten that he doesn’t even bother returning your calls?”

Leon’s expression darkened. “He’s probably just overloaded with work.”

“Oh, come on. He’s completely infatuated with some woman. He’s ignoring us, and he’s lost all focus on the business,” Dolores said, her tone laced with annoyance.

Lucille stepped in to defend Lowell. “You shouldn’t talk about him that way. He’s not like that at all.”

Dolores shook her head dismissively. “Mom! You don’t even understand your own son. I know him better than you. He’s out of control! He’s absolutely lost it. No one’s more reckless than him.”

Lucille frowned and exchanged a worried glance with Leon, clearly unsure of how to respond.

Dolores stared out the window, her voice firm with resolve. “Lowell doesn’t matter right now. The only thing that counts is marrying Shaun while he’s still lost in amnesia!”

After the Ruiz family left, Elyse exhaled deeply and turned to Shaun with a sly grin. “What are you, some kind of ultimate prize? Dolores seems completely obsessed with you.”

Shaun stiffened, picking up on the teasing tone in her remark. “What are you implying? I haven’t done a thing to lead her on. She’s the one chasing after me. I even insulted her, and she still wouldn’t back off!”

Elyse’s face carried a blend of amusement and a deeper, harder-to-read emotion. “Do you realize how much you used to prioritize her in the past?”

Shaun snapped, his tone sharp with irritation. “What could I have possibly done?”noveldrama

Elyse’s words came out slowly, each one carrying a subtle, simmering intensity. “You humiliated your fiancée at your own wedding… all for Dolores. And after that, you even…”

Elyse let her voice fade into silence. She realized that saying more might overwhelm Shaun.
