Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1501:

This act of being lovingly cared for filled Caitlin with a deep sense of warmth, and she looked at Clayton with eyes brimming with love.

However, just at that moment, Clayton’s phone buzzed.

As Caitlin saw who was calling, the warmth in her heart quickly dissipated, and the tender feelings began to fade away. Clayton looked at Caitlin and decided to ignore the call.

Caitlin turned her face away, pressed her lips tightly together, and said nothing. She clearly looked upset.

“Are you angry?” Clayton suddenly asked.

Caitlin bit her lower lip and responded, “I’m not angry. I just feel like being with you unofficially doesn’t mean anything. What exactly am I to you?”

She fixed a stubborn gaze on Clayton, though her eyes held a hint of vulnerability and caution. They hadn’t talked about their relationship since yesterday. She had assumed they were a couple, particularly after being intimate and expressing their feelings for each other. However, Beth’s call to Clayton was a stark reminder of the reality. She didn’t want to be just a casual fling. What happened last night was indeed uncontrollable, but there was still time to set things right. Caitlin recalled that Clayton’s feelings for Beth were far from deep.

Clayton met her gaze but remained silent.

Something dawned on Caitlin, bringing tears to her eyes.

But Clayton did not offer her comfort. Instead, he rose with a cold look and said, “Caitlin, did I forget to mention? What I despise most is being pressured. I thought you were different from other women. I admired your stubbornness, but now it seems you’re just eager to become my wife. Is that the status you’re after?”

With those words, Clayton grabbed his jacket from the bed and walked out, not once glancing back.

Caitlin was left feeling furious and devastated. She couldn’t understand why Clayton’s demeanor had changed so drastically. Could it be that he never truly cared for her, and his previous actions were merely a charade? But there was nothing she had that Clayton could possibly want to exploit.

Reflecting on the tender moments they had just shared and his current detached attitude, Caitlin felt a deep pain in her heart. She tried to brush it off, but tears streamed down her face relentlessly.

In a fit of anger, Caitlin swept everything from the nightstand onto the floor. Clayton, already on his way out, heard the noise but didn’t stop. His face remained set in an unyielding mask of indifference.

Downstairs, Clayton climbed into his car. His assistant approached quickly, his voice tinged with concern. “Mr. Morgan, it seems Miss Nixon and Mr. Reeves’s people are close to figuring things out. Shouldn’t we involve Miss Cooper? If they uncover our actions and Miss Cooper finds out the truth, it could undo everything we’ve worked for.”

Clayton remained composed. “What’s there to be afraid of? Caitlin won’t suspect that I staged this. Even if Kallie and Jake have their suspicions, do they have any proof?”
