His Mute Wife: He Can't Sleep After She Left-Chapter 14: Why Don’t You Just Die

The banquet was held at the Lynch Mansion. Standing at the entrance, Kiana Sutton hesitated to move forward.

It was clearly a luxurious and ostentatious mansion, yet she felt it was like a man-eating beast that would devour her whole if she stepped inside.

Why did Ethan Sinclair bring her to Angus Lynch’s birthday banquet?

What was he planning?

Ethan Sinclair noticed Kiana Sutton had stopped in her tracks, glanced at her with a cool gaze, yet a cold, mocking smile played on his lips. "What? Are you afraid to go in? Afraid of feeling guilty seeing the Lynches, or scared they might seek revenge on you?"

Without waiting for Kiana Sutton’s reaction, Ethan Sinclair pulled her into his arms, sensuous lips close to her ear, his breath warm yet his voice cold. "I’m telling you, even if they hit you or scold you today, you’ll endure it for me, because this is the debt you and your father owe them."

It was only then Kiana Sutton realized Ethan Sinclair had brought her here to make her atone.

If she could, Kiana Sutton wanted to turn and leave, firmly believing her father was wrongfully accused.

But her father was still suffering in prison, and if she left, not only would Ethan Sinclair not spare her, he’d also take out his anger on her father.

The Lynch Family was considered a prestigious family in Varden, and their mansion was grand and impressive.

Ethan Sinclair walked quickly, with no intention of waiting for Kiana Sutton.

Kiana Sutton followed behind him, looking at his tall, slender back, anxious and with no mind to appreciate the scenery.

"Brother Ethan, you’re here."

In a pink long dress, her hair styled in a princess braid, Stella Lynch ran toward Ethan Sinclair, lifting her skirt.

Ethan Sinclair subtly avoided her touch, a faint smile appearing on his handsome face. "Stella, long time no see, you’ve grown so much."

"Not that long, we were just in my sister’s hospital room..."

Before Stella Lynch finished speaking, she saw Kiana Sutton behind Ethan Sinclair.

Stella Lynch’s smile instantly vanished, she bypassed Ethan Sinclair and angrily approached Kiana Sutton. "Kiana Sutton! What are you doing at my home?"

At that moment, other members of the Lynch Family also came out to greet the guests.

Angus Lynch had his wife Sylvia Yates on his arm.

Upon seeing Kiana Sutton, the smiles on their faces disappeared instantly, Sylvia Yates glared at Kiana Sutton with resentment, clenching her fists.

There were quite a few guests at the Lynch’s, and for the sake of her family’s reputation, Sylvia Yates couldn’t afford to lose her temper at Kiana Sutton in front of everyone.

The guests didn’t know Kiana Sutton, but due to Stella Lynch’s angry shout, all eyes turned to Kiana Sutton.

The attention made Kiana Sutton uncomfortable all over, but the gaze of the Lynches made her feel freezing cold.

If looks could kill, Kiana Sutton would’ve died a thousand times over by now.

The more Stella Lynch looked at Kiana Sutton, the angrier she became. She shoved Kiana Sutton hard. "Get out! Our house doesn’t welcome the daughter of the one who harmed my sister!"

Stella Lynch’s strength was considerable, and Kiana Sutton nearly stumbled to the ground with that push.

Everyone knew the Lynch’s eldest daughter had been in a car accident during a kidnapping and was now in a vegetative state, but they didn’t know the specifics.

Now, seeing the woman Ethan Sinclair brought was related to the Lynch’s eldest daughter’s condition, people started gossiping and chattering continuously.

"That woman didn’t even utter a word after being pushed by the Lynch’s second daughter... could she be mute?"

"Didn’t you hear the Lynch’s second daughter? Her father is the culprit who caused the Lynch’s eldest daughter to become a vegetative state."

"So that’s their family, huh? I heard her dad kidnapped the eldest Miss Lynch for ransom, and looking at her, she doesn’t seem like a good person. Truly, the whole family is a bunch of ruffians."

"Then how does she even have the face to be here?"

"Exactly, the eldest Miss Lynch was such a lively, lovable person and has been lying in a hospital bed for three years, it’s so pitiful."

"The wheel of karma will turn, they won’t have a good ending."

Their voices weren’t quiet, and Kiana Sutton heard every word. Coupled with their disdainful looks, her face turned pale, her hands clenched into fists.

Kiana Sutton kept her eyes on Ethan Sinclair, whose indifference and ruthlessness pierced her heart like a knife.

Seeing Kiana Sutton looking at Ethan Sinclair, with eyes lingering, Stella Lynch’s anger fully ignited, pushing Kiana Sutton as she cursed, "Get out, you slut! Why don’t you just die!"

Kiana Sutton’s footing was unstable, and she toppled towards the ground, about to make a spectacle of herself in front of so many people. She glanced at Ethan Sinclair, who remained icy and detached, like an outsider.

Stella Lynch’s scorn and shoves, and the blatant stares of the others, were nothing compared to Ethan Sinclair’s cold gaze, which left Kiana Sutton in unbearable pain.

However, the fall she anticipated didn’t come; someone caught her from behind.

Once Kiana Sutton stabilized herself, she turned to see who it was, and the first thing she saw was a head of pink short hair.

"Sister-in-law, are you okay?"

Kiana Sutton never expected the one to help her would be Quinn Sinclair.

Quinn Sinclair was Ethan Sinclair’s uncle’s daughter. Kiana Sutton had only met Quinn Sinclair once in the three years she was married to Ethan Sinclair, but Quinn’s pink hair left a deep impression.

Kiana Sutton quickly waved her hand. "I’m fine, thank you."

Realizing Quinn Sinclair couldn’t understand sign language, and she herself couldn’t speak, Kiana Sutton felt a bit anxious.

Quinn Sinclair helping her might upset both the Lynch Family and Ethan Sinclair, and Kiana Sutton worried it might cause trouble for Quinn Sinclair.

Quinn Sinclair seemed to catch onto Kiana Sutton’s concerns, sending her a wink, then grabbed her hand and said, "Sister-in-law, I’ve told you to come in with me. How could you follow my brother and leave me alone to handle two gifts?"

Quinn Sinclair emphasized the word "sister-in-law" heavily, as if deliberately announcing to everyone present that Kiana Sutton was indeed Ethan Sinclair’s wife.

Her words successfully shocked the gathered bystanders.

Sister-in-law?

This woman is actually Ethan Sinclair’s wife?

Wasn’t it rumored Ethan Sinclair was in love with the Lynch’s eldest daughter? How could he have married her? 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Moreover, Ethan Sinclair brought her here only to let the Lynches bully her without stepping in—was it his intention to let the Lynches take revenge?

Judging by the current situation, this woman seemed quite favored by the Sinclair Matriarch.

Kiana Sutton and Ethan Sinclair’s marriage was a secret. She never expected Quinn Sinclair to call her sister-in-law in front of so many people, making her uneasy as she glanced at Ethan Sinclair, whose gaze grew even colder.

Kiana Sutton shivered involuntarily, and in the next moment, Quinn Sinclair shoved a box into her hand. "Sister-in-law, this is a task grandma entrusted to you; you handle it."

Saying this, Quinn Sinclair coolly looked at the Lynch Family, a bright smile forming on her lips.

"Uncle Lynch, my grandmother hasn’t been well recently and sent my sister-in-law to celebrate your birthday on her behalf, yet you let your daughter bully my sister-in-law like this. Is this how the Lynch Family treats its guests?"
