Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1522:

Clayton turned to her with a half-smile, though his eyes remained frosty. “Don’t test my patience. I’ve been more than tolerant with you lately.”

Confronted with Clayton’s stern gaze, Beth hesitantly let go of his hand. She watched him walk away, her eyes brimming with a sense of loss.

Beth murmured to herself sadly, “He must be angry with me. Why else wouldn’t he stay to eat with me? I don’t know what to do to earn his love.”

The butler gazed at Beth with compassion and couldn’t resist commenting, “Miss Fletcher, you’re pampered by the Fletcher family. When have you ever been treated like this? There are so many admirable men out there. Why set your heart only on Mr. Morgan? He’s not worth your tears.”

This time, Beth didn’t react with anger. Instead, she responded in a low tone, “You don’t understand. When I love someone, I can’t think of anyone else. I only see Clayton, and I only want to be with him.”

Beth’s mood lifted slightly. “It doesn’t matter. He has promised to marry me. As long as he marries me and I remain by his side, he will eventually fall in love with me.”

The butler exhaled deeply at Beth’s unwavering obsession but chose to remain silent. Beth was utterly infatuated with Clayton.

Kallie didn’t expect to cross paths with Caitlin again under such circumstances.

Perhaps due to recent exhaustion, Sophie suddenly came down with a high fever that night.

Kallie was terrified and, without time to reach the family doctor, rushed Sophie to the hospital.

The doctor recommended that Sophie be admitted to the hospital for her recovery.

While Kallie and Sophie were on their way to the ward, they walked past a VIP room and heard a familiar voice.

Kallie even doubted her own ears. How could Caitlin be here? But it was unmistakably Caitlin’s voice. Even more startling was the sight of Clayton entering the VIP room.

Kallie knew she had to approach this with caution.

Just then, Jake showed up from work.

Kallie asked Jake to look after Sophie while she went to investigate further. When she reached the ward, the door was slightly open. She caught sight of Caitlin and Clayton hugging.

At that moment, Kallie felt a headache coming on. She had previously suspected that Caitlin might be the woman involved with Clayton. But she distinctly recalled that Caitlin was aware Clayton was engaged. Given Caitlin’s character, how could she get involved with someone else’s partner?

Kallie was sure Caitlin wasn’t that kind of person. Clearly, Clayton had been pursuing Caitlin.

But seeing this scene, Kallie was forced to accept the reality.

Caitlin sensed a stare and glanced up to find Kallie at the doorway. Her body turned stiff as if her blood had frozen.
