Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband by Devocean

Chapter 1628

Chapter 1628:

Brook, seemingly enjoying the discomfort he was causing, let the silence stretch between them before finally

continuing, “If | were to marry her, I'd be constantly wondering how many times she would betray me. Marrying

her would only bringmisery.”

Zoe, incensed, slammed her hand onto the table. “How could she behave this way? This is utterly scandalous!”

Her voice was sharp, like the crack of thunder in a storm. “In all the women who've married into the Owen

family, none have ever displayed such disgrace!”

Jordy opened his mouth, but the force of Zoe's fury left him speechless. He lowered his gaze, his discomfort

palpable.

Zoe's indignation was still simmering. “She’s not even married yet, and she’s already shown such a lack of

decorum. One can only imagine what she would be like after marriage.”

Jordy, his voice barely a whisper, ventured, “But... what if Corrie changes once she’s married? What if she stops

her... affairs?”

Zoe's tone was scornful. “Change? Do you honestly believe that a woman who has lived a certain way for so long

will suddenly transform after marriage? Trusting such a woman to becfaithful is like hoping a leopard will

change its spots!”

Jordy, though taken aback, tried to argue, “But isn’t it common for people to settle down after marriage?”

Zoe let out a humorless laugh. “As if marriage could be a magic cure! If it were that simple, there wouldn't be

cheating or divorce. Everyone would be the epitof a perfect couple!”

Jordy fell silent, unable to muster a response.

Brook, watching the exchange from the sidelines, couldn’t suppress a grin, though he tried to remain composed.

Zoe took a deep breath, her tone softening somewhat. “Brook, now that your grandpa is no longer here, and with

only your mother by your side, the Bates family might try to take advantage of your situation if you try to end

things with Corrie. How about this? When you're ready to put an end to it, letknow. Jordy and I will step in

and handle the negotiations with the Bates family on your behalf.”

Brook was taken aback by her offer, a surge of relief flooding through him. He tried to temper his gratitude.

“Thank you so much!”

Zoe smiled warmly. “You're welcome. We're family, Brook.” She glanced at the clock. “Now, let's not linger here.

Con, wash up and get ready for dinner. You must be starving, aren't you?”

“I am indeed,” Brook replied, exaggerating slightly as he clutched his stomach. “I cstraight here from work,

and I'm famished!”

Zoe's expression softened in sympathy. She patted him on the shoulder, a reassuring gesture. “You've had a lot

to shoulder at such a young age. It's no small feat, taking on the responsibilities of the family. Among the

younger generation, there are few who stand out like you.”

Brook gave her a reassuring smile. “Don’t worry. I'll manage the company. | won't let you down.”

Zoe's eyes lingered on him with a mixture of pride and affection. Among all the younger generation, Brook held a

special place in her heart. He was more approachable than Jayden, more composed and perceptive than Greg or

Debora.

Brook headed to the restroom.
