The substitute bride is a mute

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."

Judy quickly shook her head. "No, it's okay. I can go by myself.”

"Please, leeme go with you. The realtors wall know you're a sitting? duck just! by your look,” Dominic Said with akind smile. "Don't worry: I had nothing planned for the afternoon anyway. I can go with you... ‘Content bélongs ~

"Thanks, Dominic." Judy couldn't refuse his kindness. Also, she was slightly afraid of looking at the property alone.

In the afternoon, Dominic drove Judy to the agreed place with Franklin.

Franklin, who wore a suit and leather boots, passionately gave them an apartment tour. "This unit is a loft-style apartment, about 1600 square feet. “Every unit comes with its own elevators, convenient for the elderlies to travel around the house. Perfect for someone like Ms. Blake.”

Judy looked around the apartment as she followed Franklin. She couldn't find any demerits of the unit.

The unit sat in a 15-story apartment with a spacious kitchen and ensuite bathroom, fully fumished and ready to move in.

Most impoftantly, the location was. perfect.as it was only ten minutes~ away from Tocham Libary. If c° something happened to Lilly, Judy could return immediately. Content ~

But something about the unit was bugging Judy.

"What's wrong? Did you not like the unit?" Dominic asked. "I think this place is great, personally."

"How much is the rent of this place?" Judy wrote.

Franklin looked at the question and smiled. "Don't worry, Ms. Blake. This unit is very affordable. The rent is only 500 dollars per month.”

500 dollars per month?

Judy was jtdisbelief. Even if she ~ had never rented a house, she knew based‘on the location and quality of the unit, 500 dollars could only rent her the unit's bathroom. Content ~~Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

How could this apartment be so cheap?
