The Day Silence Spoke novel Chapter 301

A jolt went through Latisha. She looked at Clifford nervously, managing a strained smile. She signed, *I'll eat when I get back.*

Clifford's eyes flickered. "Don't."

Latisha froze. He reached out and tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear, his tone unreadable. "Didn't you say you wanted a girl?"

Latisha went completely still in her seat, unsure how to react. Right. How could she have forgotten? Forgotten that he’d wanted a child, forgotten that they had a child, one that had vanished from this world two months ago.

Clifford's words were a brutal reminder, and a wave of immense grief and bitterness washed over her, lodging in her throat. Tears welled in her eyes, threatening to fall. She really was getting more and more forgetful.

Clifford’s brow furrowed almost imperceptibly. He abruptly pulled his hand back, buckled his seatbelt, and drove off.

Latisha turned her face to the window as a tear escaped and slid down her cheek.

...

Soon, they arrived at Lambert Manor. Before they even reached the gate, they saw Yesenia Winslet standing by the side of the road, looking around. Her face lit up when she saw the car.

Latisha’s heart clenched at the sight of her. She instinctively glanced at the man beside her. Sure enough, the car slowed and stopped in front of Yesenia. Even with Latisha in the car, he couldn't just ignore Yesenia. He never cared how Latisha felt about seeing her.

The window rolled down, and Yesenia immediately bent over to look inside. The moment she saw Latisha, her smile vanished. "Why are you two together?"

Clifford ignored her question, turning his head slightly. "Is something wrong?"

"I couldn't reach you," Yesenia said. "I was worried you'd done something rash. I went to your villa but you weren't there, so I came here to try my luck and see if anyone knew where you were."

Clifford paused for a moment, then turned to Latisha. "You go on ahead."
