The Revenge of the Mute Wife by Melanie Paulson novel Chapter 53

Chapter 53 

After the dance ended, Deborah, Jayden, and Elliot took their seats to enjoy dinner. While eating, Jayden and Elliot realized that they were fellow online gamers. They agreed to meet at Deborah’s place the next day for a gaming session. Soon, the evening ended peacefully and without any issues. 

The real scandal erupted the following day when the media began circulating what had happened at the party, highlighting the confirmation of the long–standing rumor about the Petersons. The icing on the cake was Roger’s ex–wife being seen with the heir of the Cooper family. 

In gossip and entertainment shows, everyone praised how beautiful Deborah looked and how blind Roger must have been to trade her for the woman he was now with. 

“Imbeciles,” Sophia muttered furiously, biting into her toast. 

“But they’re right. The mute totally eclipsed you with her jewelry and outfit,” Isabelle mockingly said while sipping her coffee. 

“And did I ask for your opinion?” Sophia snapped at Isabelle. “Besides, it’s your fault for not giving me money to buy a new dress and jewelry. I’m sure Deborah got all that with the money Roger had given her instead, right?” Sophia asked, looking at her partner. 

“I haven’t even paid her anything yet,” Roger commented as he took a seat beside Sophia. 

“Does that mean she’s already receiving money from Cooper?” Sophia asked jealously. “How else do you explain that new outfit?” 

“No idea, but don’t think for a moment I’m going to pay her any alimony when I don’t even have a job.”

“Roger, to do now?” Isabelle asked worriedly. 

“I’m going to the company shortly to demand my job back,” Roger said angrily. “I’m not going to let them sideline me, because that company is mine.” 

The women smiled proudly at the determination in Roger’s voice. But internally, Roger wasn’t sure how he would achieve it. 

Meanwhile, Deborah was enjoying her quiet Saturday morning, taking the 

opportunity to clean the house and do laundry since she lived alone and could afford to do these things once a week.

‘Right, now that the doctor says you’ve stabilized in the womb, I can start decorating this room for you,‘ Deborah thought to her baby as she tidied up the house. 

After cleaning, Deborah went to buy some groceries from the supermarket. As she walked, she remembered how excited Elliot and Jayden had been talking about their hobbies. 

‘I think it’s time I picked up my own hobbies again,‘ Deborah thought as she passed a fabric store, entering to buy some supplies. She decided to start practicing knitting to make baby clothes. 

Then she remembered her mother’s special chest of sewing materials, including the little booties Alexandra had knitted for Deborah. She started to feel sad because it was one of the first things that disappeared from the house when Vanessa arrived- Deborah’s stepmother took it upon herself to destroy and erase every trace and memory of Alexandra in the house. 

-Realizing she was becoming sentimental, Deborah wiped away the tears from her 

face and continued selecting yarn. 

After getting everything she needed and paying for her purchases, she headed back home. 

Just as she finished unpacking, Deborah’s phone buzzed. She noticed she had been added to a group chat named “Game Night,” which brought a smile to her face. She began discussing with the other members–Jayden and Elliot–what to order for dinner. They eventually settled on pizza, pasta, and garlic bread. 

Once the conversation wound down, Deborah returned to her routine and passed time by practicing her knitting to make baby booties while she awaited their arrival. 

Meanwhile, Elliot was excitedly packing his games into a box. 

“Try not to stay up too late,” someone reminded him. 

“Dad, I’m not a little kid anymore,” Elliot retorted. 

“But you’ll always be my little boy,” George teased, handing him an envelope.” While you’re out, give this to Deborah,” he instructed. 

“What is it?” 

“It’s the card for the new account I opened for her alimony,” George explained. 

“But Dad, shouldn’t Roger be doing this?” Elliot questioned.
