Bound by love: Marrying my Disabled Husband

Chapter 1416:

Victor looked at Elyse with a hint of sadness. “If you say no, it’s going to make things pretty rough for me.”

Elyse bit her lip, her expression clouded with hesitation.

Just as the tension between them thickened, Zayn’s voice cut through from a distance. “Come dance! Enough talking!”

Seizing the moment, Victor grabbed Elyse’s hand and pulled her towards the dance floor.

Elyse looked around, bewildered. “We’re dancing now?”

“Why not just dance and see where it takes us?” Victor suggested, guiding her closer with an arm snug around her waist. They began to move with the rhythm.

Initially, Elyse stumbled a bit, but soon she was moving in sync with Victor, her steps growing more confident.

Victor laughed softly. “You’ve got some serious moves.”

Lost in the music and the festive vibe, Elyse flashed a wide smile. “Looks like I’ve got a great teacher.”

In that moment, Victor gazed down at her; her eyes sparkled, her cheeks tinged pink from the excitement of the dance.

He reached out, gently brushing her cheek.

Elyse’s eyes widened, but then Victor held up a feather. “It’s just a feather from the lady next to us; it landed on you.”

With a playful roll of her eyes, Elyse teased, “Here I thought you were making a move.”

Victor chuckled, his eyes twinkling. “I should be the one worried about you making a move on me.”

Elyse gave a short, amused snort but didn’t reply.

After a brief pause, Victor ventured, “How about dinner tomorrow?”

Without hesitation, Elyse declined. “No, thanks. I’m swamped with work.”

“Having dinner won’t interfere with your work,” Victor pointed out.

“You should think of a way to get your parents to back off this arranged marriage idea,” Elyse countered, curling her lips.

Victor pressed his lips together, holding back his real thoughts.

Saying them aloud might just make her refuse to dance with him again. When the music faded out, they drifted apart.

Zayn wove his way through the crowd, his eyes bright with excitement. “Elyse, you’re incredible! Dance with me too?”

“Sure,” Elyse responded with a nod.

Her agreement seemed to spark a buzz, and soon, several others were vying for a chance to dance with her.

For the first time, Elyse was the center of attention at a party, and it both surprised and overwhelmed her. She glanced instinctively at Victor.

Victor crossed his arms and offered a reassuring smile. “Just go with it and enjoy the tunes.”

After a moment’s hesitation, Elyse turned and joined Zayn on the dance floor.

Victor watched her, a childlike smile spreading across his face, and he couldn’t help but mirror her joy.noveldrama
