Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband by Devocean

Chapter 507:

Corrie emerged from one of the guest rooms of Enzo’s estate, unsurprised to find Jayden present. Enzo’s failed

assassination attempt from the previous day was too significant to conceal.

Dressed in a sharp shirt and suit pants, Corrie stepped out and coincidentally crossed paths with Enzo’s butler,

who was heading back to meet Enzo. She greeted him, “Good morning.”

Returning the greeting, the butler, who had been scolded by Jayden earlier, softened slightly upon seeing

Corrie’s respectful demeanor, feeling a hint of satisfaction. “Good morning, Miss Bates. Have you had breakfast

yet? I'll have the chef prepare something for you.”

Corrie was pleasantly surprised by his gesture. “Thank you.”

With a nod, the butler headed towards the kitchen, leaving Corrie feeling touched by his thoughtfulness.

Corrie made her way to the dining room where Enzo was quietly having breakfast.

Upon noticing her, he gave her a cold glance and instructed, “Have a seat.”

Taking her place with a mixture of nervousness, Corrie settled into the chair. Enzo continued to eat in silence, his

demeanor unreadable.

Finally, he broke the quietude with a casual inquiry. “I heard you were eager to seelast night. What's on your

mind?”

Corrie nodded, her expression serious. “Mr. Owen, | need to discuss something crucial with you.”

Enzo’s eyebrows lifted in silent encouragement for her to proceed.

Gathering her resolve, Corrie said, “Yesterday's operation took an unexpected turn. | diverted the target to Elyse,

needing to confirm a suspicion.”

Enzo’s demeanor remained composed as he prompted, “And what suspicion is that?”

Leaning forward slightly, Corrie whispered, “I suspect Elyse might be expecting.”

Enzo’s gaze sharpened with surprise and intrigue.

Corrie was certain that the knowledge of Elyse’s pregnancy could be a valuable bargaining chip.

After a tense moment of contemplation, Enzo finally spoke in a hushed tone, his expression laden with

complexity. “Is Elyse truly pregnant?”

“Without a doubt. You can verify it by checking Elyse’s hospital records.”

As if on cue, the butler entered the dining room with breakfast and placed the plate in front of Corrie. “Please

enjoy your breakfast, Miss Bates.”

Enzo ate quietly, his thoughts evidently preoccupied.

Corrie, sensing the gravity of the situation, dared not speculate on his intentions.

Once breakfast concluded, Corrie prepared to depart.

However, Enzo stopped her with an unexpected invitation, “There will be a small gathering at my place tomorrow

evening. You and Brook are welcto join.”

Corrie’s excitement was tempered by a facade of composure as she graciously accepted his offer. “Thank you for

the invitation, Mr. Owen. We'll be there.”

With a nod of acknowledgment, Enzo dismissed Corrie, who was escorted out by the old butler.

With a cheerful smile, the butler extended his congratulations to Corrie. “Congratulations, Miss Bates. Your

recognition by Mr. Owen is truly remarkable. Among the younger generation, only Jayden has had the honor of

attending this gathering. It’s a first-tinvitation from him for you, and Brook should feel glad to have a

girlfriend like you.”

Corrie’s happiness was palpable as she expressed her gratitude, “I'm deeply grateful for Mr. Owen’s

acknowledgment. In the future, I'll strive to be his capable help, sharing his burdens.”

The butler lightened the mood with a jest. “I suppose you'll have to start calling him Grandpa soon.”

Corrie blushed at the playful remark, feeling a tad embarrassed to respond.

After bidding farewell, she entered her car, brimming with excitement.

In the car, her excitement bubbled over, and she couldn't contain her joy. She let out a happy shout, her

enthusiasm filling the confined space. Startled, the driver in front turned to her, a look of fear in his eyes as he

pleaded, “Miss, you scared me. Could you please be quieter?”

Realizing her lapse, Corrie responded, “I'm sorry, | got carried away; I'll keep it down.” Despite the reprimand,

her excitement remained unabated. She eagerly reached for her phone, intending to share the news with Brook.

However, she hesitated, recalling his lackluster response to messages. Aware of the dinner’s significance, she

resolved to ensure his attendance, regardless of his reluctance.

Dialing his number, she caught Brook in a sour mood as he navigated his way to the office.

Brook picked up the phone with an impatient tone, his voice reflecting his irritation. “Why did you callin the

early morning? | don’t have tto go shopping with you!”

Corrie couldn’t help but roll her eyes at Brook's response. “Your grandpa extended a gracious invitation tofor

the gathering tomorrow at his place. Naturally, as my boyfriend, your presence is non-negotiable,” she replied

firmly, emphasizing the importance of his presence.

Brook's brow furrowed in confusion. “Why would my grandpa invite you? It’s usually reserved for his close

associates. What makes you worthy of such an invitation?” he questioned, his tone tinged with skepticism and

curiosity.

Corrie’s voice took on a steely edge. “That's not for you to question. You need to be there, and you better

behave. If you embarrass me, you'll regret it.”
