The Revenge of the Mute Wife by Melanie Paulson novel Chapter 182

Chapter 182 

As the days went by, it became increasingly difficult for Deborah to stay active, which frustrated her a little. She felt useless because even taking a few steps would leave her tired. 

“You know, son, you’re not making this easy,” she complained, pausing her typing for a moment to stretch a little, as she couldn’t stay in one position for too long 

“Love, we need to finish this work because, with my flexible schedule, there’s no excuse for not taking a vacation,” she said, feeling a little kick in response. 

She chuckled, realizing she was now arguing with her baby. 

Deborah made a face as she remembered how that morning, she had argued with Jayden for the first time, thanks to her hormones. She didn’t want to be left alone at home. 

Part of her understood why he needed to go to work, but another part didn’t because she wanted to spend the whole day with him. 

“Ah… what are we going to do… it’s the first time I’ve argued with your dad… and he left for work upset and sad because of me,” she said, caressing her belly and receiving a few more kicks in response. “Right, let’s cook him something delicious as an apology and wait, he hasn’t been coming home for lunch lately, 

she said, starting to cry. 

Just then, there was a knock on the door, so she went to open it and found her mother–in–law standing there. Seeing the tears in Deborah’s eyes, Samantha grew concerned. 

“Debbie, what happened? What’s wrong?” she asked, worried, thinking she might have hurt herself. 

“It’s just that…” Deborah burst into tears and hugged Samantha, her mind a mess as she could not really understand why she felt this way. 

“Alright, calm down. I’m here to support you, Samantha said in a motherly tone as they walked into the house. “Come, let’s sit down so you can tell me why you’re sad, okay?” 

After a while, Deborah managed to calm down and finally put her thoughts in order, explaining what had happened that morning, though she felt a bit embarrassed about admitting it. 

“Aww… how sweet,” Samantha said. 

“Don’t tease me.” 

“But Deborah, it’s normal to argue with your partner every now and then, though in this case, it was more your cravings and desires speaking than an actual argument.” 

“Craving? But I thought that only happened with food.” 

“Every woman is different, and today you had the craving to spend the whole day with my son, didn’t you?” 

“Um…” Deborah blushed at Samantha’s teasing tone…. because it was true, that’s exactly what she wanted: to spend the whole day in bed with her partner making love. 

“Don’t worry, having sexual cravings is also natural in your condition.” 

“But why only now…?”

“Because you’re finally at peace. Before, you were under the psychological pressure of the divorce, and then there were those goons,” Samantha explained, taking her hands. “Now that you’re enjoying calmer days, your body is allowing itself to experience the various cravings and discomforts that every pregnant woman goes through.” 

“I suppose that makes sense, but I still feel bad for arguing with him and even pushing him out of the house.” 

“He probably feels the same way, but I think if you explain everything to him like you just did to me, he’ll understand.” 

“I think so too…but… what should I do? I feel like a beached whale who can’t move, and I just want to go see him.” 

“And what, do you think I’m invisible or something?” Samantha scolded, noticing that Deborah had stopped crying. “Go change your clothes, because being cooped up isn’t good for you. I’ll take you to see my son in a bit.” 

“Thank you,” Deborah said, hugging her. With that, she headed to her room to change. 

The older woman chuckled at the drastic change in her mood. While waiting, she sent a text message to her husband, asking him to help Jayden. 

After reading his wife’s message, Eric went to check on his son, who was supposed to be reviewing some plans at that moment but was staring blankly into space instead. Eric sighed and decided to get two cups of cold coffee to have a talk with him. 

Despite being at work, Jayden couldn’t focus. He still didn’t understand what had happened that morning. all he knew was that he had been kicked out of the house to go to work. 

“Everything okay, son?” Jayden looked up to see his father sitting beside him, offering a cup of coffee.
