Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1523:

Clayton caught Caitlin’s discomfort and followed her gaze to see Kallie. His reaction was even more noticeable than Caitlin’s. He almost instantly pushed Caitlin away, disregarding how she felt.

Caitlin, however, was too upset to care about his actions at that moment. She just stared back at Kallie. Kallie looked angry, and her hands balled into fists.

A mix of emotions crossed Clayton’s eyes, but he approached to greet her. “Kallie, what brings you here?”

Kallie shot Clayton a frosty glance, her tone sharp and cold. “Mr. Morgan, we’re not on such familiar terms. Please address me formally.”

Clayton didn’t show any anger, maintaining a calm demeanor. “Glad to see you here. Caitlin hasn’t been feeling well for days. Seeing you will cheer her up. You two should have a chat.” With that, Clayton made to leave.

Caitlin reached out and tightly grasped his hand, shaking her head subtly to indicate she wanted him to stay.

Seeing Caitlin this way, Kallie nearly lost her cool.

Kallie felt even more troubled. She took a deep breath and fixed Caitlin with a serious look. “Caitlin, is there anything you want to tell me?”noveldrama

Caitlin moved her eyes away from Kallie, visibly irritated. She had questions for Kallie. Why did Kallie treat her this way? Why did Kallie pretend to care after what she had done to her?

Meanwhile, Clayton was trying to soothe Caitlin. “Don’t stay right outside. If you need me, just call me.”

As Clayton walked out of the room, Kallie looked at him and said, “You don’t need to worry. I’m not going to harm Caitlin.”

Hearing this, Caitlin scoffed.

This hurt Kallie deeply. She stared at Caitlin in disbelief, and her voice was filled with confusion. “What’s the matter, Caitlin? Don’t you trust me?”

With Clayton gone, Caitlin felt no need to restrain herself. She turned away and said coldly, “As you’ve noticed, Clayton and I are in love. Though you’re my cousin, you shouldn’t meddle in my life anymore. And there’s no need for you to be malicious toward me. I know I mean nothing to you. It’s pointless to waste your time or effort on me.”

Kallie was puzzled but tried to understand the situation. She faced Caitlin incredulously. “Are you saying that I’m against you? What have I possibly done to hurt you?”

At Kallie’s words, tears started to form in Caitlin’s eyes. She charged toward Kallie, trying to see what kind of soul lay beneath her “facade.” “Why the pretense? It’s just us here. I need to understand why you did that to me. Despite the humiliation I’ve faced due to your unfairness, I’ve never blamed you. Yes, I became Beth’s servant, which brought you shame. I might not have been submissive to you, but that was to avoid bothering you. If you can’t stand me, why didn’t you just send me away? Why put me through this plot?”

As Caitlin’s face streamed with tears and hurt, Kallie found herself becoming calmer. She tried to soften her tone. “Caitlin, you know I would never intentionally hurt you. There’s nothing for me to gain from harming you. Whatever you’ve been told, let’s discuss it openly. Perhaps someone is trying to create a rift between us. But Caitlin, you’re so smart. How could you not see through it?”
