Mr. Fake-Mute's Love Game Ended When I Stopped Playing the Fool novel Chapter 47

Chapter 9

The period during final exams was so intense.

Now that I’d relaxed, I arranged to travel to Switzerland with Olivia Grant, taking our time visiting several surrounding countries.

Whenever I received messages or calls from Alexander during the trip, I’d hang up and delete them directly.

My refusal to communicate was interpreted by him as jealousy.

“How long are you going to stay mad? Isn’t this enough?”

“If you don’t reply to my messages, I’ll take Bianca abroad. Don’t test me.”

I ignored it all.

Without a word, I just kept blocking and deleting.

When it was nearly time for school to start, I flew directly to London.

Meanwhile, Alexander nervously knocked on my family’s door, holding handmade dolls in his hands–one blue, one pink, representing us in his mind.

Imagining my surprised expression when I saw them, he could barely contain his excitement.

But when the front door opened, it wasn’t the figure he’d expected.

He instinctively asked: “Uncle David, Aunt Eleanor, is Chloe home?”

“I haven’t seen her all summer. I brought her a gift, and since school’s starting soon, I thought we could go together.”

Mom’s expression remained calm as she said flatly: “We forgot to tell you, Alex. Chloe already left for school orientation. You don’t

need to go with her.”

Alexander was stunned, but quickly assumed I was still angry.

He turned to leave but was stopped by Dad, who gave him a vague warning.

‘Alex, some things, once missed, are missed forever.”

“After school starts, Sullivan Industries will be very busy. Eleanor and I won’t have time to entertain visitors. We hope you won’t

come disturbing us anymore.”

Alexander left somewhat confused, planning to go home and pack.

But when he opened the door, he found both his parents sitting upright on the living room sofa, looking serious.

He was even more puzzled.

He greeted them and headed for his room, but his father called him back.

“Don’t go to the Sullivan house anymore.”

“Chloe has already left for college out of state. The engagement was called off over a month ago. From now on, you’re just childhood friends who grew up together–nothing more.”

Alexander frowned and said instinctively: “How is that possible? Are you joking with me?”

But when he looked up and saw his parents‘ cold expressions, he slowly realized this was real.

Claire sighed with disappointment:

“Now that Chloe’s hearing is cured, her last flaw is gone. If she wants to marry into a good family, she has plenty of people to choose from slowly. How could she possibly still settle for our family!”

“Robert, why did you stop me then? Chloe is soft–hearted. If I’d brought up childhood memories and played the sympathy card, she might not have called off the engagement!”

Robert was impatient: “You think a few words of persuasion would have worked?”

“Over these years, Sullivan Industries has long surpassed our company. Chloe might be easy to fool, but her parents are protective wolves! You think I wanted to call off the engagement? I’m just afraid of problems with the company!”

Listening to this, Alexander was completely stunned.

He was silent for a long while before asking: “When was her hearing cured?”

Though not understanding why he suddenly asked this question.

Robert still answered: “David said they took her for surgery right after finals ended. It’s probably been a while. Your mom and I took you back to visit the ancestral graves then, so Chloe probably didn’t get a chance to tell you…”

Alexander’s mind kept replaying my birthday that day.

When he removed my hearing aid and said those words to me.

‘God, I’m so sick of you. You’ve always been a burden.”
