Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1500:

The events of the night before swirled in her mind, making her question Clayton’s feelings. To add to her uncertainty, Clayton had left by the time she woke up.

Feeling anxious, Caitlin reached for her phone and saw a message from Kallie.

While Kallie’s message had been sent out of concern, Caitlin, having experienced the drug’s effects, interpreted those words differently. Kallie’s inquiries about her location seemed as if it were her unease talking, seeking confirmation whether her actions yesterday had succeeded.

Overcome with anger and hurt, Caitlin flung her phone aside.

At the sound, Clayton rushed in from outside.

Caitlin looked up, surprised to see that Clayton hadn’t actually left. Tears immediately filled her eyes.

Clayton came over and embraced her, his face showing a trace of sorrow. “Caitlin, don’t cry. This is on me. I should never have taken advantage of you while you weren’t thinking straight last night. The fault is mine.”

Caitlin quickly wiped her tears. She looked at Clayton with urgency, shaking her head repeatedly. “No, Clayton, my anger and pain aren’t because of you. It’s because of other reasons.”

Clayton still appeared full of regret. “I get it. Even if you choose not to share, I know it’s because I’ve complicated your life. Beth targeted you because of me. I’ve thought it through. I’ll tell the police everything. Beth and I will accept whatever comes our way. And you…”noveldrama

His eyes softened as he looked at Caitlin. He continued sincerely, “You might find this hard to believe, but even though you and Kallie look alike, my feelings for you aren’t influenced by that.”

Caitlin was taken aback, her heart swelling with surprise and happiness. Clayton had just admitted his feelings for her. The one she liked, reciprocated her feelings!

Overwhelmed with joy, Caitlin was nearly at a loss for how to respond. But as Clayton made to leave, she was struck with sudden panic. Acting on impulse, she leapt from the bed, naked, dashed after him, and wrapped her arms around his waist.

“Don’t leave.” Caitlin’s voice shook as she added shyly, “To me, you’re the most important person. What will I do if you go? Besides, none of this is your fault. It would mean everything to me if you didn’t despise me. I’ve had feelings for you for so long. I never acted on them because you were engaged. But now that we have… Clayton, can I ask you a question? Is there a chance for us? Could you give me a chance?”

In a fleeting moment that Caitlin missed, a shadow passed over Clayton’s eyes, and his lips curled into a strange smile. But when he turned back to face her, any hint of that expression had disappeared. He gazed at Caitlin tenderly.

Without a word, his response came through his actions. He leaned down and kissed her lips.

Caitlin’s heart skipped a beat, and her cheeks blushed even more deeply. She wrapped her arms around Clayton, responding to his advance. After a morning of intimacy, when Clayton finally stopped, Caitlin was too exhausted to move.

Clayton was tender and caring. He cleaned Caitlin up, prepared food for her, and even insisted on feeding her so she wouldn’t have to do anything.
