Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1505:

Caitlin slowly turned her head, and her eyes met Clayton’s. Seeing the apparent concern in his eyes, she wondered if this was all just a dream. Was it an illusion? Otherwise, why would Clayton, who had made it clear that he didn’t want to see her again, suddenly be here? Her voice was raspy as she spoke, “Is this a dream? Clayton, didn’t you say you never wanted to see me again?”

Clayton reached out tenderly to touch Caitlin’s face, his voice filled with distress. “It’s all my fault. Do you know how much it hurts me to see you like this?”

Caitlin blinked, and more tears flowed freely from her eyes. Feeling the warmth of Clayton’s hand on her skin, she realized it was all real. It wasn’t a dream. He had indeed come to see her. But why? To what end? He would leave her again, just like he always did.

With that thought, the spark in Caitlin’s eyes dimmed, and her voice turned cold. “Go away. I don’t want to see you.”

With her back to Clayton, Caitlin couldn’t see his expression. Her voice was tinged with resignation as she spoke, “I know you don’t want to be tied to me, and I won’t ask you to take responsibility. Just leave. I’ll act as if you were never here.”

However, Clayton responded urgently, “I’m not leaving. I want to stay here with you—otherwise, I won’t be at peace.”

Caitlin’s heart skipped a beat when she heard this. She gritted her teeth and asked, “And if you stay, then what are we? What if your fiancée finds out about us? What will she think?”

Clayton didn’t respond right away.

The emotional pain Caitlin felt at that moment was even worse than the physical one.

“Caitlin, can you look at me? Just one more time?” Clayton’s voice carried a hint of pleading.

Moved by his tone, Caitlin couldn’t help but soften. She turned her head toward him.

Clayton leaned in and gently pressed a soft kiss to her forehead the moment she did.

Though it was just a fleeting touch, it left a lasting impression on her heart. She looked up at him, her expression filled with a mix of emotions. Clayton stood up and smiled gently. “I know you don’t want to see me anymore. You hate me. I promise I won’t appear in front of you again.”noveldrama

Caitlin felt a wave of mixed emotions rush through her. Her eyes brimmed with tears as she gazed at Clayton, unwilling to look away. Deep down, she didn’t want this. But her stubbornness refused to let her admit it.

As Clayton walked away, Caitlin noticed something was off. His steps were uneven, a subtle limp disrupting his usual stride. This was the first time she had ever seen him like this. Her eyes widened in shock, and for a moment, she forgot to breathe.

“Clayton,” she called out, her voice laced with concern. “What’s going on? Are you hurt?”

But he didn’t answer. He just kept walking, never once looking back. A knot of anxiety tightened in Caitlin’s chest. Yet, over the next two days, there was no sign of Clayton.
