The substitute bride is a mute novel Chapter 49

Dominic looked at Judy's troubled look, and his brows drew together. "Do you have any difficulties that you had to marry Clark?"

Judy was startled by the question.

"Clark had always been an introvert. I was surprised when I heard he was getting married," Dominic continued.

"I thought it was a business marriage between the Reids and the Blakes because I've heard something happened at the Blake Medical Group. Judy, did you marry Clark for the sake of the Blake family?"

Judy was touched when she felt Dominic's warm concern. But at the same time, she also felt aggrieved.

After all, this was the first time since her marriage that someone had cared and asked about her well-being, even though Dominic wasn't 100% correct in his guess.

Everyone told her she had struck gold for marrying into the Reid family. She should be grateful for marrying a respected person like Clark, given she was just a mute.

However, Judy shook her head and denied it.

Suddenly, Judy's phone rang, interrupting their conversation. Judy looked at the phone, which showed an anonymous number. She picked up the phone and a man's voice came through.

"Hello, is this Ms. Blake? I'm Franklin Magee from Prime Properties," the man said. "I've heard that you're looking for an apartment. I have a property which might suit you. We can arrange an apartment tour later in the afternoon."

Because Judy couldn't speak, she was about to hang up the phone and text back instead. But Dominic held his hand out and said, "Here, I'll talk to him."

Dominic could hear what Franklin said on the phone since he stood close to Judy. Also, he was aware that Judy was looking for a new place.

Judy gratefully passed the phone to Dominic.

"Hello, I'm sorry, but Judy couldn't talk. You can talk to me about the house."

"This afternoon?" Dominic looked at his watch. "How about around 12:30 pm? I'll be having my lunch break. We can drop by and have a look at that time."

"Okay, thanks!" Dominic hung up the phone and gave it back to Judy. "I can bring you to the apartment tour later at 12:30 pm."
