Strongest Hammer God novel Chapter 714

Kyle looked with shocked confusion at Lindsay. "Yes, you did! You told me that I should finally clean the kitchen, or so help you God."

An appalled expression appeared on Lindsay's face. "I said that? Me?!" she said as her voice became louder. "Kyle! You know that I'm an atheist! If you want to put words into my mouth, at least try to make them sound believable!"

"You use that expression all the time!" Kyle said. "I explicitly remember you telling me these exact words."

Lindsay snorted, all her tears gone. "If you remembered what I said, you would've done the kitchen. You claim that I said that you have to do the kitchen. You say you know what I've said, and since you believe I told you to do the kitchen, you would've remembered to do the kitchen."

Kyle blinked.

He knew what she tried to say, but it felt off.

"See?" Lindsay asked. "If you remember, you would've remembered, but you didn't, which means you don't remember and are just making stuff up so that you have a reason not to spend time with me!"

"Why did you even marry me if you want to avoid me all the time?!" she shouted.

"What, no, I… fuck," Kyle sputtered. There were so many incorrect assumptions in this statement that he didn't even know where to begin.

When Lindsay saw Kyle's reaction, a horrified expression appeared on her face.

"You think I'm crazy," she commented.

"What? No! You're not crazy!" Kyle quickly answered.

"Yes, you do! I saw it in your face!" Lindsay shouted, tears appearing in her eyes again. "You think I force you to work like a slave! You're not a slave! You're the man I love! Why would I even say such a thing?!"

"I never said that!" Kyle shouted.

"But you thought it!" she shouted back.

"No, I did not," Kyle said with frustration. "You can't read my mind. You don't know what's in my mind."

"I truly don't," Lindsay said with disgust. "How can I know what's happening in the mind of someone who believes me to be some sort of slave driver?! I know myself, and I know that I would never force the man I love to work like a slave!"

Kyle took a deep breath to compose himself.

"You're ignoring me," Lindsay said before Kyle could answer. "Ignoring your spouse is a form of abuse."

"What?" Kyle asked. "I'm not ignoring you!"

Lindsay shook her head in disgust. "Look at you," she said. "Now, you're claiming that things I have seen happen with my own eyes did not happen. When will you learn that gaslighting doesn't work on me? !"

"Fucking-" Kyle shouted before taking a deep breath. "Lindsay, I'm not gaslighting you."

"Kyle, I've seen my fair share of abusers," Lindsay said. "I've gone through therapy. I know the tricks. You're not good at gaslighting, but I'm still shocked that you're still trying."

"I'm not gaslighting you!" Kyle shouted, his voice thundering through the apartment.

Lindsay moved back, and a hurt and intimidated expression appeared on her face.

"Why are you shouting at me?" she asked, hurt.

A complex cocktail of emotions shot through Kyle's body.

Rage, frustration, confusion, nervousness, helplessness, guilt.

When he saw the hurt expression on her face, he felt like a monster, but he also knew that she was enraging him on purpose.

His logic told him that she was crazy, but he also felt horrendous guilt when he saw how hurt she was.

'I can't reason with her. It's impossible,' he thought. 'No matter what I say, she fucking spins it so that it's my fault. Doesn't even have to make any sense.'

"Yeah, sure, sorry," Kyle said casually as he walked past her. "I'm going to do the kitchen stuff tomorrow. You're right."

Lindsay's brows furrowed as her eyes followed Kyle. "About what?" she asked.

"Absolutely," Kyle commented as he grabbed his keys from the table. "Anyway, forgot to tell you, but I gotta meet somebody for a new gig."

"You're leaving?" Lindsay asked in shock.

Kyle opened the door and waved at her. "Will take four hours, max. See you later!"

Then, he left and closed the door behind him before Lindsay could say anything.

After Kyle left, Lindsay glanced at the dirty kitchen, and a self-satisfied smile appeared on her face.

Meanwhile, Kyle went down the stairs and left the apartment complex.
