Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1486



Chapter 1486:

Kallie was so furious that she nearly let out a scornful laugh. With biting sarcasm, she said, “I used to think you were just blind to the obvious, but now I see you’re smarter than I thought. It’s just a shame that your intelligence is so terribly misplaced.”

Beth appeared unfazed by Kallie’s sarcasm, her eyes fixed on Caitlin, who was nervously hiding behind Kallie. She fixed Caitlin with a sharp, threatening gaze. “Caitlin, step out and tell them if I threatened you. Stop hiding behind Kallie and pretending you can’t hear me. You’ll still have to face what’s coming.”

Caitlin clenched her teeth, ready to step out from behind Kallie.

Kallie gently grabbed Caitlin’s hand. “Caitlin, maybe you misunderstood me, but I can explain everything. Even if you resent me, I hope you won’t continue to be her servant. Don’t be scared. I’ll protect you.”

Seeing the sincerity in Kallie’s eyes and feeling the warmth of her hand, Caitlin hesitated. Maybe things weren’t as Beth had claimed after all. No matter what Kallie’s true intentions were, her kindness had been unmistakable all along.

As Caitlin wavered, Beth suddenly mouthed something to her. Caitlin’s body tensed as she understood Beth’s silent message, but Kallie didn’t notice.

Just as Kallie was about to have Beth escorted out, Caitlin suddenly pulled away from Kallie’s grasp.noveldrama

Under Kallie’s stunned gaze, Caitlin moved to stand beside Beth, her head lowered, unsure whether it was out of disgust or the fear of meeting Kallie’s eyes. Her voice trembled as she said, “Miss Nixon, I know you mean well, but you’ve got it all wrong. Miss Fletcher didn’t bully me, and she told the truth. I chose to stick by her side as a servant. It’s a role I decided for myself, and I hope you can understand that.”

Kallie’s eyes widened, filled with disbelief. She even questioned whether her ears were deceiving her. It was the first time Caitlin had addressed her as Miss Nixon. Caitlin had never spoken to her so formally before.

Caitlin continued, “What you saw earlier… It wasn’t what you think. I just accidentally spilled water on myself.”

Kallie wasn’t angry, but her gaze was heavy with complexity and cold as she fixed her eyes on Caitlin. “Caitlin, do you truly mean your words?”

Regardless of what had transpired, Caitlin’s attitude and tone implied that she still harbored resentment. This left Kallie feeling frustrated. She sincerely wanted to take care of Caitlin. Even if they couldn’t get along, she couldn’t bear the thought of Caitlin’s life going down the wrong path. But somehow, things had come to this. Given Caitlin’s words, there was no point in pursuing the cause behind her blatant lies.

Kallie inhaled deeply, steadying herself. “Caitlin, I’m asking you one last time. Is this really what you want? If you tell me the truth, I promise to help you through whatever trouble you’re in.” Caitlin paused for a moment before giving a small nod.

Kallie sighed, turning away without sparing her another glance. “If that’s the case, then do as you wish. I won’t kick you out of today’s party. Find Trent, and he’ll have someone take you to change your clothes. Enjoy yourself.”

Although Kallie had no desire to see Beth and Caitlin right now, she understood that sending Beth away felt justifiable, while turning Caitlin away seemed wrong. Besides, kicking them out would only give the Nixon family’s rivals an opportunity to spread slander. As long as the children remained undisturbed, nothing else really mattered.
