Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1471:

At the Fletcher family home, Beth descended the staircase from her room. She stretched languidly, scanning the room with a look of mild annoyance. “Where is Caitlin?”

A servant quickly responded, “She hasn’t woken up yet, Miss Fletcher. Should I wake her now?”

Beth sank into the plush sofa, a sly smile curling at the corners of her lips. “Of course. I said she should wake up whenever I do.”

The servant hurried away, disappearing upstairs to rouse Caitlin from her slumber.

When Caitlin was finally pulled from her bed, she had dark circles under her eyes and appeared tired and pale. Beth had been intentionally tormenting Caitlin, keeping her awake until five in the morning, only to rouse her early without mercy.

Since yesterday, Caitlin had barely slept more than five hours in total. She was exhausted, but there was nothing she could do. She understood all too well that if she refused Beth, it would only give Beth more ammunition to make her life even harder. Caitlin told herself to endure for a while longer, hoping that Beth would eventually grow bored and move on.
