Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 896:

Calvin crossed his arms, his tone growing sharper. “My upbringing is irrelevant. I’m more concerned with yours. You barged into my sister’s birthday party uninvited, claiming to be a sister figure to my mother. My mother, despite your rudeness, treated you with respect and acknowledged you publicly, sparing you any embarrassment.”
