The Revenge of the Mute Wife by Melanie Paulson novel Chapter 191

Chapter 191 

With the move complete, the couple was starting to settle into their new home, which also meant getting used to the staff who worked there. 

For Deborah, this was a bit strange. She had grown accustomed to doing everything herself because Frederick and Vanessa’s servants had always taken pleasure in tormenting her. When money started to run out, they only kept a few staff members who worked limited hours, cleaning the house, cooking, and doing laundry for their employers before leaving. And of course, they were instructed to ignore the mute 

outsider. 

Jayden and the Coopers quickly noticed Deborah’s distant attitude toward the staff. She seemed to tense up slightly whenever someone offered to help her. 

Before this became a bigger issue, Jayden decided to talk to her about it. 

When he got home from work, he was informed that she was in the kitchen, so he went to see her. 

“My love, what are you doing?” Jayden asked when he saw that she was trying to cook, despite the chef and his assistants being right there. 

“I’m making us dinner,” she replied. 

“But love, what did we agree on? You’re supposed to use this time to rest.” 

“Um… yes, but…” 

“I’ve noticed you’re wincing because your feet are killing you. Come on, let’s sit down and let Marion and the team finish making dinner.” 

“It’s not necessary. I’m almost done and… and…” At that moment, she felt dizzy from the heat and lost her balance, but nothing serious happened because Jayden quickly caught her. 

“Deborah…” he called out, worried. 

“Sir, please help her out of the kitchen. The heat might have affected her,” one of the cooks suggested. 

Jayden picked her up and carried her to the living room, where he laid her down on the sofa. Some of the servants used fans or cloths to give her some air. 

“My love…” Jayden said as he saw her starting to regain consciousness. 

“Ma’am…” the maids said. 

“Uh…” she began to open her eyes, feeling a bit disoriented. “What happened?” 

“You fainted a moment ago while cooking.” 

“What… …”

“My love, I to do everything, but right now, let us help you.” 

“It’s just that…” 

“Tell me, what’s going on, love? You’re acting a little strange.”

“I’m scared they’ll hurt me.” 

“What…” Jayden turned to look at all the servants, who quickly shook their heads. “How would they hurt you?”

“Well, I know it’s not them, but…” 

“Ma’am,” the butler said, stepping forward and taking her hands. “If we did something to offend you, please tell us so we can change. We don’t want to make you uncomfortable; we just want to help.” 

“Yes,” all the employees echoed. 

“What? No… it’s not that. It’s just that when I was a child, I. 

“Ah, I get it now,” Jayden said, understanding. “They had servants who mistreated you, right?” he asked, seeing her nod and start to cry. 

He smiled and moved closer to hug her. 

“Ma’am,” the chef approached, offering her a glass of juice. “Maybe you had a bad experience before, but we are different from them.” 

“I know… it’s just that I don’t know what’s wrong with me–I’m scared,” Deborah confessed, looking away. “It’s the hormones,” Samantha said, who had come to check on her after hearing she had fainted. “They’re messing with you, dear, but don’t let them confuse you. You’re safe here, and no one will hurt you.” 

Deborah began to cry as she hugged Samantha, who started to comfort her with maternal affection. 

Now that they knew the real reason Deborah had been avoiding them, the servants sighed in relief–her mood swings had triggered memories from her past, causing her to draw comparisons. 

Deborah began to relax, and now calmer, she apologized to everyone for putting them through a tough time 

The apologies were accepted because, in reality, she had never done or said anything rude or mean. She had just been reserved, so there was nothing to make amends for. Now the staff understood that in the remaining morbs before the baby’s arrival, they would be more careful with their lady. 

Deborah also felt a bit embarrassed and wanted to do something special for the staff. 

So the next day, she asked Jayden to help her organize something. 

“Of course, I’ll help. Do you have something in mind?” 

“A small party for everyone, since I don’t know what came over me to act that way,” she admitted, embarrassed. 

“It was the hormones, so don’t worry. No one’s upset because nothing serious happened.” 

“Even so, I feel awful.” 

“Well, tell me what you’d like to have at the party.” 

She began to outline her plans. “And as a little trick, I’ll ask for their help with everything but then reveal that it had all been for them and tell them the truth.”
