His Mute Wife: He Can't Sleep After She Left-Chapter 11: You’re Pretty Good at Self-Deception

Chapter 11: Chapter 11: You’re Pretty Good at Self-Deception

Not wanting to see Kiana Sutton’s face again, Ethan Sinclair brushed past her, heading directly into the bathroom. Before closing the door, he coldly warned, "When I come out, don’t let me see you again!"

"Bang..."

The bathroom door slammed shut, and Kiana Sutton’s heart trembled fiercely.

She hugged herself tightly, feeling both sad and aggrieved.

Since Ethan Sinclair didn’t want to see her, she couldn’t stay in this room, so she slowly opened the door, hoping to find a guest room to sleep in for the night.

"Young Madam, do you need anything?"

Kiana Sutton didn’t expect there to be a servant outside the door. Thinking that it might have been arranged by the grandmother, she felt awkward, waved her hand, and returned to the bedroom.

No, if the grandmother found out she slept in the guest room, she would definitely scold Ethan Sinclair.

And Ethan would surely blame everything on her again, thinking it was her fault.

The sound of water in the bathroom suddenly stopped. Remembering what Ethan Sinclair had said before entering the bathroom, Kiana Sutton’s heart tightened.

Damn it, where could she hide so that Ethan wouldn’t see her?

The bed was definitely not an option!

The sofa... also no good!

Kiana Sutton was in a panic, searching for a long time before finally setting her sights on the wardrobe.

When Ethan Sinclair emerged from the bathroom, he didn’t see Kiana Sutton in the room.

Ha... did she run off to complain again?

A mute who can’t speak is quite eager to complain.

Ethan Sinclair couldn’t be bothered to deal with Kiana Sutton any further; he went straight to bed.

Hiding in the wardrobe, Kiana Sutton watched as everything outside fell silent. She gently opened the wardrobe door to peek out, saw that Ethan Sinclair was already asleep, and finally let out a silent sigh of relief.

After all the hassle, she was exhausted too. Curling up in the wardrobe, holding Ethan Sinclair’s clothes, she gradually drifted off to sleep.

The next morning, when Ethan Sinclair woke up, his handsome face looked as bad as it could get.

Last night, he actually suffered from insomnia.

He had intended to see what kind of tricks Kiana Sutton was up to, but after waiting half the night, she didn’t come to his bed, nor did his grandmother come to trouble him.

Hmph, since when did that woman become so obedient?

Ethan Sinclair irritably got out of bed and opened the wardrobe to find some clothes.

He had many things to do today and couldn’t let that woman, Kiana Sutton, influence his mood.

However, as soon as he opened the wardrobe, an unknown object fell straight towards him, and he reflexively reached out to catch it, only to see Kiana Sutton sleeping.

She seemed startled awake and abruptly opened her eyes.

Their eyes met, Ethan Sinclair’s expression darkened even more, and Kiana Sutton, seeing Ethan’s foul mood, suddenly recalled what he had said the night before.

Without thinking, her hands quickly covered Ethan Sinclair’s eyes.

It’s over! Now that Ethan has seen her, is he going to throw her out the window?

The next second, Ethan Sinclair’s mocking voice rang out, "What? Covering my eyes makes it like I’ve never seen you? Kiana Sutton, you’re quite used to deceiving yourself."

Kiana Sutton bit her lip and slowly removed her hand.

The next second, Ethan Sinclair suddenly let go, and she tumbled to the ground.

Fortunately, a thick carpet lay on the floor, so she didn’t feel any pain.

"Why are you still here? Get out!"

Upon hearing this, Kiana Sutton immediately got up, as if chased by wild beasts, and fled the room.

Ethan Sinclair watched Kiana Sutton’s slender back, his brows furrowing slightly.

This woman... would rather sleep in the wardrobe than complain to his grandmother?

Hmph... At least she knows her place.

When Kiana Sutton ran downstairs, still on edge, just as she sighed a breath of relief for narrowly escaping disaster, she suddenly saw Zoe Xavier watering flowers.

Zoe Xavier wore a long, cotton-linen dress, with her slightly curly hair tied back. In the morning light, a gentle breeze stirred her bangs, lending her an ethereal quality, like a fairy stepped out of a painting, instantly evoking the phrase "peaceful years."

Her profile was beautifully delicate, with a superb figure and aura. Standing beside a rose she was watering, she vividly illustrated that she was more beautiful than the flowers.

Ethan Sinclair inherited his stunning looks from her; both mother and son were extraordinarily beautiful.

Kiana Sutton couldn’t fathom why Howard Sinclair insisted on divorcing her.

After all, this was her mother-in-law. Kiana Sutton went over to greet Zoe Xavier.

Zoe Xavier also saw Kiana Sutton. Seeing her ready to communicate in sign language, she interrupted lightly, "No need to gesture, I won’t understand anyway."

Ethan Sinclair not only resembled Zoe Xavier in appearance but also shared her aloof demeanor.

With those words, Kiana Sutton stood there, at a loss.

Zoe Xavier, naturally, didn’t support Kiana Sutton and Ethan Sinclair’s marriage. She had experienced a failed marriage herself and hoped her son would find a woman he truly loved.

But in this family, the grandmother ruled, and no matter how much she opposed, it was useless.

Zoe Xavier didn’t particularly dislike Kiana Sutton; she just disdained their family’s tactics.

Initially, Kiana Sutton felt uneasy, but gradually she admired her beautiful mother-in-law tending to the flowers.

When Zoe Xavier finished watering the flowers and went to wash her hands, Kiana Sutton immediately offered a towel.

Zoe Xavier didn’t take it, instead picking up a nearby towel herself, then calmly looked at Kiana Sutton, "I have hands, I don’t need others to help."

Kiana Sutton awkwardly set the towel down.

"Able-bodied people should be self-reliant. Always depending on others for survival... what’s the difference between that and a leech?"

Seeing Kiana Sutton’s bewildered expression, Zoe Xavier wasn’t sure if she was pretending or genuinely didn’t understand, so she said lightly, "It’s true, I’m quite wealthy, and tens of thousands are just a drop in the bucket for me, but people should know the meaning of moderation, to avoid harming themselves with greed."

Pausing for a moment, Zoe Xavier continued, "I never approved of your marriage with Ethan Sinclair from the start. I have no fondness for you as a daughter-in-law, nor for your mother as an in-law. If possible, I hope you both never appear in front of me, affecting my mood."

With that, Zoe Xavier left. Kiana Sutton stood there for a long time, finally realizing something, her face pale as paper.

After leaving The Sinclair Estate, Kiana Sutton took out her phone and sent Hannah Lowell a WeChat message, "Where are you?"

Hannah Lowell didn’t reply, so Kiana took a taxi home.

The cab fare alone cost over two hundred.

The car stopped in front of a run-down residential building.

The Sinclair Estate was located in Varden’s second ring, while Ethan Sinclair’s villa was situated in Varden’s wealthy district.

Compared to both, this residential building resembled a slum.

As soon as Kiana Sutton reached the door, she heard the sounds of Mahjong and various vulgar remarks from inside.

She was furious, knocking on the door heavily.

"Who is it, so early in the morning!?"

A sharp female voice rang out; it was Hannah Lowell’s voice.

Kiana Sutton couldn’t speak, so she knocked harder.

"Coming, coming!"

Hannah Lowell opened the door, seeing Kiana Sutton, she was momentarily stunned, "Why are you back?"
