Falling For My “Disabled” Wife by Veronica Winifred

Chapter 1 

It had been ten years. Today was the day that Sophie Bourn finally managed to escape from the Bourn family. However, Sophie didn’t expect it would be because she was marrying in someone’s stead. 

Laura Bourn, the biological daughter of Sophie’s foster parents, refused to marry a blind man. 

Thus, Sophie’s foster mother agreed to let Sophie, the free blood supplier, leave the Bourn family 

and marry in place of her daughter. 

Today was the day Sophie would go to the city hall to register marriage with the third son of the Nicholls family, who had been blind for many years. The servants of the Bourn family started packing Sophie’s luggage early in the morning. 

Sophie’s foster mother, Ursa Bourn, approached Sophie’s wheelchair when her things were almost packed. Ursa pretended to be close to Sophie as she held Sophie’s hand and said, “Sophie, Mom is grateful to you for marrying on behalf of your sister. If anything happens in the future, let me know. I’ll try t 

fulfill what you want. Make sure to come home every month to visit us.” 

Sophie looked at Ursa’s hypocritical face and forced a fake smile in front of her foster father and grandmother. “Okay.” 

Fulfill her wishes and needs? Sophie had heard those empty promises for so many years, but not once did Ursa follow through. As for coming back home often, Sophie knew very well that it was to ensure that Sophie would return every month to transfuse blood to Laura.. 

Unable to bear her mother’s kindness toward Sophie, Laura made a sarcastic remark. “Sophie, you must cherish this marriage. If it weren’t for me, as a paraplegic like you, you would never have been able to marry into the Nicholls family.” 

The Nicholls family isthe wealthiest and most prestigious family in Habourland, with businesses worldwide. Laura’s parents went through a lot to arrange the marriage. However, they never expected the marriage would be with the blind Roger Nicholls. Laura was naturally unwilling to marry him. 

Sophie chose not to paniper Laura today. “Indeed. If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t be paralyzed, and I wouldn’t have to marry a blind man for you.” 

“What did you say?” Laura was furious. Sophie usually endured everything, yet she dared to rebut her today. 

Seeing her granddaughter being retorted, Harriet Bourn, Laura’s grandmother, who was sitting on the couch, couldn’t hold back her tongue. “How ungrateful. How can you talk to Laura like this? Even if you are marrying on behalf of her, the Nicholls family is the top family in Habourland. It’s a blessing for you to be able to marry into the Nicholls family. As for your legs, it’s your fate to be paralyzed. Don’t blame my granddaughter!”

Seeing that her grandmother was backing her up, Laura became even more outrageous. “Exactly! Do you know how many people want to marry into the Nicholls family? If you weren’t adopted by the Bourn family, you wouldn’t even qualify for it!” 

Sophie looked at the shameless grandmother–granddaughter pair with a cold gaze. They had said such things many times in the duration of Sophie’s stay in the Bourn family. 

Sophie usually tolerated them. But since Sophie was leaving today anyway, there was no reason to endure it anymore. “Is that so? Are you also fated to be a widow, Grandma? Are you also fated to have a blood disease, Laura?” 

Sophie hit a sore spot with her remark. Laura flew into a rage and cursed, “Sophie, no matter what, my life is still better than yours. You are a paraplegic who will be marrying a blind man. You’ll be looked down upon for a lifetime! You know what? I think you’re the perfect match for Mr. Roger!” 

“Laura! What nonsense are you spouting?” Russell Bourn, Laura’s father, heard Laura as he walked down the stairs. He was furious. “Is this how you should talk to your sister? I think you need to be taught a lesson!” 

Russell’s performance was convincing, but Sophie remained expressionless. Even when Laura pushed Sophie down the stairs, resulting in Sophie’s disability, Russell sided with Laura. He would only appear as though he was scolding Laura, but Laura got away each time. 

Seeing her daughter being scolded, Ursa interrupted hurriedly, “Why scold her? If Laura doesn’t understand, you should teach her. Sophie isn’t someone who would be petty over a few words, right, Sophie?” 

Every time, no matter how outrageous Laura’s actions were, Ursa would turn it into a moral argument against Sophie. Sophie was disgusted by it. “That’s enough. Your whole family has been acting for ten years. I’m not in the mood to play along with you today.” With that, Sophie coldly reached out and wheeled her wheelchair toward the door. She only wanted to leave the Bourn family as soon as possible. 

Seeing that Sophie didn’t change her mind, Russell quickly recovered and immediately instructed. the servants, “What are ve 

still standing there for? Move these things out.” 

Ursa turned to Geneva Gross, the maid who was assigned to take care of Sophie when Sophie went. to the Nicholls family. “Remember to bring Miss Sophie back home on the 28th of every month, understood?” 

If it weren’t for substituting Laura’s in the marriage, Ursa would never let Sophie leave the 

Bourn family in her lifetime. Even if Sophie married into the Nicholls family, Ursa must ensure that Sophie continued to provide blood for her daughter. 

“Understood, madam. The plump maid nodded with a determined expression. 

Only then was Ursa satisfied. She followed Geneva and the other servants to see Sophie off.

Chapter 1 

Sophie was at the door, looking at the distant road. She had heard that the Nicholls family decided not to hold a wedding ceremony because of Roger’s eccentric temperament. They would come to the Bourn family’s residence directly to pick her up, complete the registration for marriage, and then return home. Sophie had to admit that she was slightly curious about what her blind husband looked like. 

After Russell and Ursa came out with the servants, a black extended limo drove down the main road, followed by two cars for protection. As the wealthiest and most prestigious family in Harbourland, even though Roger was blind, the car he sat in was the latest limited edition luxury 

car. 

The cars came to a stop. The butler of the Nicholls family got out hurriedly. He opened the car door and bent down to help his employer out. 

A man wearing a black suit and sunglasses slowly descended from the car, assisted by the butler. The man exuded a noble and compelling aura. Although he wore sunglasses, his forehead and checks appeared as though they were lovingly sculpted. He looked handsome and elegant. His eyebrows were straight, and his lips were thin. If he did not require the aid of the butler as he walked, one wouldn’t be able to tell that he was blind. 

The Bourn family couldn’t help but be surprised when they saw such a handsome guy with a powerful presence. ‘Is this Mr. Roger Nicholls?‘ they wondered. Even though Roger was blind, it didn’t hinder the fact that he was a handsome man. And a wealthy man at that. 

Even Laura was stunned. After all, she had never seen such a handsome man before. A fleeting regret flashed through her mind for rejecting the marriage. 

The man had already been assisted by the butler to approach the group. The butler said softly, “Mr. and Mrs. Bourn, this is Mr. Roger Nicholls, the third son of the Nicholls family.” 

Russell shook himself out of his stupor and hurriedly extended his hand. “Good to meet you, Mr. Roger.” Compared to Roger’s calm composure, Russell seemed a bit uneasy. 

“Good to meet you, Mr. Bourn.” Although it was a greeting, Roger’s voice carried a hint of coldness. as he asked, “May I know who is my wife?” 

Roger’s words made Sophie raise an eyebrow. ‘Did I imagine it? Why did I feel like Roger just glanced in my direction a moment ago?‘ she wondered.
