Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 234:

“Ewing, what brings you here? I had no idea you were around. I was just resting. These days, my mood has been quite foul, and I’ve lost my temper a few times. I hope you’re not offended,” Bria explained, her tone light but her eyes scanning the servants with a piercing intensity.
