The Revenge of the Mute Wife by Melanie Paulson

Chapter

22

The day before had been very relaxing for Deborah. So today, she was determined to work towards properly owning this house, to make it her new home. After breakfast, she calculated how much savings she needed to buy the house from Jayden. She also wanted to

make sure she had enough to get him a thank-you gift.

Her calculations were interrupted when she checked the time-she had an online appointment with a client to discuss their tax declaration for this bimester. Deborah closed her notebook and logged into the online platform.

'Now that I have more time on my hands, I can easily handle four clients a day.' She smiled-she had been handling a total of 20 clients per week without any issues

before this.

Once the appointment was over, she started drafting her report to send it to her boss.

With this increase in clients, and if she saved her money well, she could have enough to pay for the upcoming hospital bills; the necessary clothes, furniture, and other items for her baby; the current house rent; and Christian's lawyer fees. Deborah was happy because she was finally financially independent.

After a while, she stretched and saw that it was already noon, so she went into the kitchen to prepare her lunch. Just as she was about to take the meat out of the fridge, someone knocked on the door. She was met by Jayden at the entrance. [Hi.] She greeted him with a smile.

"Good afternoon, beautiful. How are you?" he asked.

[Good.] She replied.

"Tell me I arrived in time before you started cooking," he said, noticing some vegetables on the table.

[Yes, you're just in time. I was just about to make lunch.] She replied.

"Excellent, because I'm here to invite you for lunch, um... if you want to," he said.

[Of course, I'd love to.] Deborah chuckled.

"By the way, sorry for not coming by yesterday. It was a busy day at the company," he apologized.

[Don't worry, I figured as much. And it's OK for you to skip work today?]

"Well, it may not seem like it, but I've already finished my tasks for today," he replied.

[Good.]

"Shall we go for burgers?" Jayden suggested.

[You read my mind, that's exactly what I was going to make.] Deborah let out. another chuckle.

"Then I've hit the jackpot." He smiled.

[Yeah.]

Deborah put away the vegetables she had taken out and grabbed her bag that contained her wallet, phone, and keys before heading out with Jayden.

They walked since the restaurant was close to the gated community. It was a family -restaurant, so it was somewhat crowded, but they didn't mind. After ordering their

food at the counter, they found a table to sit and enjoy the moment-they sat at quite a distance from the play area, so they could chat comfortably.

"So, you like extra cheese," Jayden remarked.

[That's how I used to order them when I ate with my mom.] Deborah explained.

"I see. And tell me, how do you like the place?" he asked.

[It's a wonderful place. In fact, I'll be giving my first class here at five later today.] Deborah told him about the classes she would be teaching. "Wow... congratulations! Can I be your student?" Jayden joked.

[Yes, actually, it's for the general public.]

"Then I'll be there with my notebook to write down everything the beautiful teacher teaches me," he teased.

[Jayden...] Deborah smiled, blushing a little.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

"By the way, Deborah, what do you think about kids?" Jayden suddenly asked.

She looked at him, confused by the sudden change of topic, but then she saw him looking towards the play area.

"You know, have about being a mother in the future?" he clarified.

[Well... yes, I have thought about it.] Deborah was still confused by the question. [And you? Have you thought about having kids?]

"I would love to have a child with you," he replied quickly.

Deborah blushed at the sudden declaration but she felt the need to be honest with him since he had been so good to her; he deserved the truth. [Actually... Jayden, 1-]

"If you let me, I'll raise him as my own because I love you," he quickly interrupted

her.

[Wait... what...?]

"Last night, I overheard you when I stopped by your place," he confessed.

Deborah grimaced upon hearing that because she didn't want him to find way.

She remained silent for a while, feeling a bit uncomfortable. "Jayden..." ut that
