Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1502:

Clayton had meticulously orchestrated the plan, ensuring every detail was flawless. The only unpredictable factor was Caitlin. However, given her current state, he was confident she wouldn’t believe any accusations, nor would she think him capable of such actions.

The assistant felt somewhat relieved by Clayton’s confidence but still asked, “Mr. Morgan, what’s our next move? Should we keep Miss Cooper close to you?”

Clayton dismissed the idea. “Forget it. She’s not sharp enough. She wants an official relationship. Let’s wait until she thinks more clearly. If she stays with me in her current state, she’ll just cause trouble. You stay here and make sure someone watches her.”

The assistant nodded and left the car.

Just as the assistant left, Beth found Clayton. Spotting his car on the side of the road, she quickly jumped in.

This behavior was typical of Beth. Despite her privileged background, she was endearing and cheerful, which made others feel at ease. She could sort through her emotions on her own. Once inside the car, Beth began acting coquettishly toward Clayton. “Why didn’t you pick up my call? Weren’t you worried about me? I was held at the Nixon estate by Kallie and Jake all night, scared I wouldn’t see you today.”

Initially, Beth had intended to follow the butler’s advice to approach things slowly—first buying the neighboring house and gradually getting closer to Clayton.

However, that wasn’t in Beth’s nature. She couldn’t bear Clayton’s detachment, and in a surge of excitement, she went straight to him. Her real intention wasn’t to confront him about the missed calls. She simply yearned to be close to him. It was as simple as that.

Clayton didn’t reject her approach. As Beth settled onto his lap, he squinted slightly. Although he maintained the air of an enigmatic gentleman, there was an indefinable charm about him in moments like these.

Beth’s cheeks flushed, and she gazed at him with infatuation.

Clayton said indifferently, “You have only yourself to blame. Had you not insisted on bringing Caitlin along, none of this would have happened. Beth, you really should work on your temper.”

This time, Beth didn’t argue back. She simply snuggled against Clayton, enjoying the rare warmth, and pouted. “But Clayton, I like you, and I can’t stand other women near you. Caitlin had it coming.”

Clayton idly twirled a strand of Beth’s hair around his finger. His gestures were affectionate, but his gaze remained cold.

Beth was used to Clayton’s distant demeanor.noveldrama

She shifted slightly, trying to draw closer, but Clayton grabbed her wrist. “Not today. I’m not in the mood for that.”

In the past, such a rejection might have wounded Beth’s pride and left her feeling degraded. But this time, she simply offered a sweet smile and slid off Clayton’s lap. She even softly suggested, “Could it be you’re just worn out lately? Why don’t we head back and rest?”
