Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 16:

When Linsey arrived to pick up Kallie, she radiated energy and enthusiasm. “Babe, let’s hit the golf course. They’ve just opened a new one in the south district, and I’ve got us a membership card!”

Kallie had often played golf with Jake in the past. Encouraged by Linsey’s zest and the perfect weather, she agreed with a smile.

Kallie wandered to the edge of the course while waiting. With only two groups playing, the course felt almost private. The other group was a speck in the distance. She swung her club a few times, familiarizing herself with its weight and balance.

Kallie shook her head silently, indicating she couldn’t speak.

“A mute girl, huh? Let’s get acquainted! Such beauty, and yet you can’t speak. What a pity,” the man remarked, his interest peaking rather than waning. Ignoring Kallie’s discomfort, he reached out and grasped her wrist, pulling her slightly toward him.
