Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 6:

Tears welled up in Kallie’s eyes, yet she steeled herself against the urge to let them fall. She raised her hand, attempting to reach out to Jake, but he had already turned his back on her and walked away, his tall figure exuding an air of icy determination.

“Wait for me!” Sarah called out, hurrying to catch up. She reached out and grabbed Jake’s hand, their fingers weaving together seamlessly.

“Why is she even at this hotel? Either she’s here to stir up trouble, or she’s meeting someone else. Gee!” Sarah murmured, her voice barely audible. Jake slowed his pace, momentarily caught off guard by her words.

As Jake settled into his car, a distant rumble of thunder echoed, soon followed by a downpour. Sarah, just a few steps behind him, was immediately soaked as she left the shelter of the hotel. Her hair, once meticulously styled, now clung to her head as she sprinted toward Jake’s car, her hand reaching for the door handle.
