The Revenge of the Mute Wife by Melanie Paulson novel Chapter 105

Chapter 105 

Deborah: Because you love shopping and sales. 

Caroline: Hey! Don’t judge me. You know they’re my weakness, and everything has a use sooner or later in my house :P. But hey, how about we order pizza and have dinner at your place with the four of us? 

Deborah: Sounds good. If you want, I’ll pick up some drinks and snacks to go with it. 

Caroline: Excellent D. Alright, I’ll let you go. I’ll never finish packing otherwise :/ 

Deborah: Good luck :D 

With that, Deborah smiled and glanced at the time before locking her phone. She realized she had gotten so caught up in her work that she was already late for lunch. 

“James, we’re eating out today,” she thought to herself, rubbing her belly as she grabbed her purse and headed out to eat at one of the nearby restaurants. 

As she walked, she took her time browsing the various food stalls, eventually settling on a burger place. 

When she entered, she noticed the family–friendly atmosphere, complete with a play area for kids, making it a popular spot for families. 

She joined the queue to order her food, and once it was ready, she turned to find a table. 

It didn’t take long to find an empty table, so she quickly sat down and arranged her meal. 

Just as she was about to take a bite of her burger, a young blond man with curious black streaks approached her. 

“Um… excuse me, could I join you? There are no other free tables,” he asked nervously. 

Deborah smiled and gestured with her hand that it was fine. 

“Thank you,” the young man said, sitting down and arranging his food. “This place seems pretty popular.” 

Deborah smiled at him again before taking a fry and eating it. 

“Sorry, I think I’m bothering you,” the blond said, embarrassed by her silence. 

Deborah sighed, set down her burger, and took out a notepad and pen from her purse to write something. She handed the note to him. [You’re not bothering me. I’m mute, and as you can see, my hands are occupied.] 

“Oh… I see. Sorry, I didn’t realize. I’m not letting you eat,” he said, embarrassed but laughing. 

With the misunderstanding cleared up, they ate in silence, the sound of children’s laughter filling the background. 

“These are delicious,” the blond remarked, noticing Deborah nodding in agreement. “Have you been here before?” 

haven’t been to this location, but I’ve had a burger from here before.] she wrote. 

“I see. I think I’ll come here more often to try everything on the menu since they’re so good.”

[I agree. The seasoning is excellent,] she wrote back. 

It’s the advantage of eating at local places instead of franchises.” 

[Maybe.] Deborah smiled and started to clean up her tray. [Well, I’m off. See you around,] she wrote before standing up and taking her tray to the trash. 

The blond smiled slightly and mimicked her actions, quickly throwing away his trash before catching up to her. “Hey Deborah, do you have to leave right now?” 

Deborah froze, her eyes wide with fear. How did he know her name when she hadn’t told him? 

The blond smiled, standing next to her. “You know, you look like one of those celebrities on TV because it’s been hard to get a hold of you lately. But how about we take advantage of our meeting and have a little chat?” 

[Who are you?] she wrote, her hands trembling a bit. 

“Well, I’ve been called many names because of my job, like Vox or the Great Shadow of Light. But since you’re special, you can call me Brandon,” he said, taking her hand. At that moment, a luxurious black car pulled up at the entrance, a man stepping out to open the door for them. “Get in, darling. Let’s go for a ride before your fiancé gets back from work.”
