Falling For My "Disabled" Wife novel Chapter 2

However, Sophie quickly dismissed that idea. She must have been mistaken. Roger had been blind for over a decade. How could he see her?

Ursa chose that moment to push Sophie forward. "Mr. Roger, this is my precious daughter, Sophie, the elder sister of Laura."

The butler's face turned dark upon seeing the Bourn family push a paraplegic out to them. "According to the rumors outside, Mr. Bourn, you only have one daughter named Laura Bourn, right?"

Russell was struck dumb. He looked at Ursa instinctively.

Ursa put on a smile and quickly explained, "You haven't heard, Mr. Rehbein, we have always had two daughters. It's just that Sophie has difficulty walking and rarely goes out, so few people know about her. Laura is still young and hasn't graduated from college. Naturally, the older sister has to marry first."

Ursa's explanation was irrefutable, but Willard Rehbein was experienced. He saw through their intentions immediately. The Bourn family was trying to make a fool of Rogers.

Just as Willard was about to speak up for Roger, Roger suddenly said, "Since that's the case, let's get in the car."

"Mr. Roger!" Willard's brows furrowed. He guessed that Roger hadn't seen that Sophie was a paraplegic. Willard said bluntly, "Mrs. Bourn mentioned that Miss Sophie has difficulty walking and has been in a wheelchair. Why don't we go back and reconsider the choice of bride with Mr. Norman?"

As he heard that they wanted to return to reconsider, Russell's expression changed. "Although Sophie has difficulty walking, she is still my daughter. Mr. Rehbein, how can you openly spurn her?"

"Yeah! Aren't you bullying us?" Ursa also echoed Russell.

Although being openly criticized was somewhat unpleasant, Sophie found it amusing how Russell and his wife defended her. She would never have imagined the seemingly hypocritical couple would stand up for her one day.

As Sophie watched the scene unfold with amusement, Roger suddenly seemed to look in her direction and asked, "Miss Sophie, are you willing to marry me?"

Caught off guard, Sophie was momentarily stunned. She soon felt the oppressive looks from Russell and his wife. She snorted inwardly and responded, "I am."

Of course, Sophie was willing. Marrying Roger would allow Sophie to successfully leave the Bourn family. It would also mean that Russell and his wife were no longer her guardians. Once that happened, Sophie could transfer all her overseas assets back. Even if Roger was blind, with the background of the Nicholls family, the Bourn family wouldn't dare to interfere with Sophie anymore. Sophie had money. All she needed was a person with a strong background who could help her leave the swamp she was stuck in. It did not matter if Roger was blind.

"If you don't mind me today, I'll never abandon you in the future," Sophie stated resolutely. If Roger could help Sophie leave this home, it would not matter if she had to marry him. After all, compared to those cunning individuals, Roger currently had no ulterior motives toward her. If Roger did not mind that she was in a wheelchair, Sophie would never leave the blind Roger behind.

None of them had ever seen Sophie speak like that with someone before. Ursa was struck with an ominous feeling. Before Ursa could think further, Roger suddenly bent down and, astonishingly, lifted Sophie into his arms.

"Mr. Roger!" Willard was startled. His eyes widened in amazement. "You... What are you doing?"

"Lead the way," Roger instructed coldly.

"Yes, sir!" Willard, afraid that Roger might trip and fall with Sophie, hastily grabbed Roger's sleeve and guided him forward.

Sophie had lived for so many years, but it was the first time she had such intimate contact with a man. She was so frightened that she wrapped her arms around Roger's neck. Sophie had expected him to stumble, but Roger walked steadily as though he was afraid of dropping her.

Willard brought Roger to the side of the car, nervously advising him to lower his head and move forward. Willard guided Roger step by step to place Sophie into the car safely.

The scene shocked the Bourn family. 'Is Roger blind? How can he carry Sophie into the car so smoothly and naturally?' they wondered.

Ursa recovered from her shock first. She hurriedly urged Geneva, "What are you still standing here for? Hurry up and get in the car!"
