The Revenge of the Mute Wife by Melanie Paulson

Roger stared at her, puzzled for a moment, before noticing that Caroline was looking to her left. Her words also caught the attention of everyone else in the room. When they turned to look in the same direction as Caroline, they were surprised to see a beautiful brunette woman with short hair approaching them.

Roger felt as though he was in some sort of dream or a prank show because it wasn't possible that this beautiful woman before him was Deborah, his mute wife. This woman was well-groomed, wearing makeup, and dressed in new clothes: a white long-sleeved blouse and a black pencil skirt that accentuated her slim, well-formed body.

As she walked past him, he wondered if Deborah had always been this beautiful. In his memories, she had always worn the same clothes since they got married, which he found disgusting and unattractive. [Hello, Roger.] Deborah stood next to Christian.

Roger was now certain it was Deborah. He recognized those same blue eyes and saw. her signing at him, confirming her identity.

"Impressive, isn't it?" Caroline said mockingly. "It's a shame the

[Roger, I hope you grant me a quick divorce so you can be happy with Sophia and your child.]

Unfortunately for him, his plans were thwarted when someone grabbed him firmly and pushed him away.

"Sorry for the roughness, but I thought I saw an stinkbug on you," Jayden said, stepping between them.

"You..." Roger said furiously, rubbing the spot where Jayden had grabbed him.

"You know, you haven't changed. You were about to hurt Deborah, forgetting where

you are right now," Jayden said.

"Yeah, he was about to yank her."

"And he even ordered her around."

"What a disgusting man."

"That's why having too much money is bad-it turns your brain to mush."

Roger frowned at the sound of murmurs siding with Deborah, infuriating him further. "I treat my wife however I want, and you shouldn't interfere clenching his fists tightly.

"You've always been a gossip, Cooper," Roger said, glaring at Jayden before turning his attention back to Deborah. "And you, stop this now."

[I'm no longer willing to endure this. Either you'll end up beating me to death, or you'll force me to take care of your bastard.]

"What did you call my kid?"

[I want a divorce.]
