CEO's Dumb Bride novel Chapter 31

Chapter 31 Lilian's Deeply Felt Emotions 

Lilian slowly reached out her hand, scooping up a handful of ashes from the ground. As the wind came, they were blown away from her hand. 

She looked up helplessly at Francis. 

He naturally looked down at her as if he had destroyed nothing but some worthless trash. 

In his eyes, she was also like trash. Her friend, herself, and everything she cared about were all worthless to him. 

She got up from the ground and said in sign language, "Why? Why do you treat me like this?" 

Francis stepped forward and wiped the tears from her eyes. He whispered, "These things don't belong here. I told you to stay away from Courtney Sachs. Why didn't you listen to me?" 

She even bit him because of this pile of trash. 

Lilian signed, "Can't I have a friend?" 

"You have me. That's enough. Why do you have to have a friend?" His voice was gentle, but it sounded bloodcurdling to Lilian. 

Lilian looked into his unfeeling eyes, which were even colder than the wind. 

She took a step back subconsciously, gesturing, "I've always only had you. You've been the only one in my heart since we were young, but you've had many people around you, except me…" 

Lilian gestured, "What am I to you? A cat or a dog?" 

Francis stared at her, silent. 

Lilian moved her stiff fingers tearfully, "I'm a human being, not a cat or a dog! I have a heart, I can feel sad, I can feel hurt, but you never care. I don't want to be like a dog, sitting at home every day to wait for your return and happily wag my tail when you touch my head." 

Her hands moved slowly, and every gesture was her scream for being heartbroken. 

But she couldn't speak, and her hand movements were soundless, so it was impossible to perceive her mind's pain behind those movements. 

Francis would not know, and he would never know.
