My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire?

Chapter 510

510  Chapter 509

Nara had just finished writing a sentence and was about to show it to Gary's mother when the latter knocked the notebook out of her hand and pointed at her, cursing angrily. "You can't even speak. What makes you think you're good enough for my son?"

Nara looked at her in astonishment.

She waved her hands frantically, her mouth opening and closing as if she wanted to say something but couldn't manage to speak.

Gary's mother immediately stepped forward and slapped Nara across the face with a swing of her hand!

Nara toppled to the ground. She was already frail, and now, she could taste blood in her mouth once again...

This taste was all too familiar to Nara lately.

Jackson and Austin had abused her. When she jumped off the rooftop, her mouth was filled with this very taste...

Clutching her face, Nara looked at Gary's mother in shock.

Gary's mother continued to glare at her. "Let me tell you, stop messing with my son! Stay away from him!"

Nara was utterly dumbfounded.

She looked helplessly at Gary's mother, wanting to say it wasn't like that...

Between her and Gary, Gary had always been the one who took the initiative.

Being mute, she always felt inferior and had been struggling for life since she was young, fighting to escape poverty. How would she have the time to fall in love?

Gary courted her at university, helping her...

She remembered that Gary looked down on her at first, thinking she didn't deserve to be the top student. Since she was mute, he wondered how she could succeed in medicine if she couldn't communicate with patients.

But later, in the lab, Gary got frightened by a dissected mouse and vomited until he was half dead, while only Nara remained calm, undisturbed by anything.

Since that day, Gary started following her around.

He would always bring academic questions to her for guidance...

She was always a loner at school, eating alone in the cafeteria and reading alone in the library... but somehow, a boy would suddenly appear across from her and talk to her.

"Hello, is this seat taken? May I sit here?"

"Hello, are you reading alone? There's no one next to you. May I sit here?"

And when she was holding many books and carrying a water bottle, the boy with a bright smile would suddenly appear and take things from her hands. "Let me help you!"

She had refused him at first.

But Gary was like an indestructible cockroach, always showing up around her when she felt sleepy from studying or wanted to stretch during a moment of weariness...

Nara's heart wasn't made of stone.

She had asked him if he minded that she couldn't speak.

Gary responded with a smile, "I've always hated those chatty girls; I find them so annoying. When I'm with you, I always find a sense of peace in my soul."

Nara didn't know how to respond.

Later, Gary took her hand, and when she tried to pull away, he didn't let go. "Nara, give me a chance and give yourself one too. Isn't it worth a try, at least while we're in university?"

They had been dating for two years since then.

With graduation looming, Gary had been talking about taking her home to meet his parents.

Nara was very nervous, always afraid that Gary's family would disapprove... Gary said they wouldn't and even mentioned that his mother loved him very much and would like her for his sake as well...

Until... after Gary returned home, he never went back to school.

The two of them had been in touch recently. Gary would message her, asking how she was doing and telling her that his mother was sick and that he was taking care of her at home...

Nara asked him if his parents had any objections.

Gary's reply was straightforward. "My dad listens to my mom, and my mom listens to me. I told her you are mute, and she doesn't mind."

Nara thought that his mother really didn't mind and was looking forward to meeting the latter.

After all that had happened, Nara didn't want to burden Gary. She would lie to him, saying everything was fine and she was doing very well...

She had been swallowing all the bitterness alone.

What she was going through shouldn't be Gary's problem...

But when she jumped from the rooftop, she only regretted two things: one was that she hadn't seen her brother Matias get married and bring home a sister-in-law for her.

And the second was that she hadn't met Gary's parents yet...

She longed for a family, longed for love...

Tears rolled down Nara's cheeks as she clenched her fists tightly, defiantly looking at Gary's mother...

Gary had said she didn't mind her condition...

But now, this woman was repeatedly calling her a mute bitch...

Gary had lied to her…

"You little slut, what are you staring at? Why don't you just die? If the Gill family killed you, my son would be rid of your spell!"

Gary's mother appeared very dominant, and her abusive language was relentless.

Nara didn't want to listen...

The future mother-in-law she had imagined was gentle and understanding...

She covered her ears... something must have gone wrong! But what Gary's mother said next shattered all of her illusions. "Half a month ago, my son suddenly came back from school, saying he wanted to marry you, a mute. I still wondered where this little slut came from, so I pretended to be sick for half a month just to keep him at home! And what happened?

"Just because you have an innocent face, you think you can win his sympathy. Why are you sitting there and putting on this pitiful act for everyone to see?"

Gary's mother was almost poking Nara's face with her finger. "Little slut, you know how to seduce men with this act, right? My son is naive and got fooled by your appearance! I won't be deceived! All you want is to marry someone rich, right? Let me tell you, I don't approve of you and my son!!"

After roaring out these words, Gary's mother looked around disdainfully, covering her nose. "Look at yourself. What sort of place do you live in? A slum? It's ugly and filthy, just like a garbage dump! You've lived here your whole life. What makes you think you have the right to climb the social ladder to my son?"

After finishing her tirade, Gary's mother said to Nara, "Take out your phone now and send a message to my son saying you're breaking up with him! Tell him you don't like him anymore!"

She crouched down, pulled the phone out of Nara's pocket, and handed it to her. "Send it! Say that you have never liked him! Do you hear me?"

Nara tried hard to shake her head.

She didn't want to end this relationship with a lie.

Seeing this, Gary's mother pinched her furiously. "I told you to send it! If you don't, I will beat you to death! Anyway, you've offended the Gill family, so nobody is going to stand up for you!"

Nara covered her face, dodging around as she was pinched...

Just then, an angry voice came from outside the door. "Stop it!!"
