Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 38:

Kallie stood there stunned for a moment before shaking her head vehemently, gesturing that she couldn’t accept the gift, as it was far too valuable.

“It’s really no big deal. You were quite adored by Roderick…” Jerome sighed, giving Kallie’s hand a gentle pat. “You deserve all the good things in life.”

Jerome’s eyes filled with emotion. The smart, spirited young Kallie had lost some of her sparkle after her marriage to Jake. But today, standing up in front of everyone, reclaiming her passion and proving her strength, Jerome felt like he was seeing glimpses of the old Kallie.

Thanks to Jerome’s high regard, Kallie became the center of attention for the rest of the event.

Before, people had only acknowledged her as Jake’s wife, calling her Mrs. Reeves. Now, they addressed her by her first name, shook hands, and even picked up some basic sign language to communicate with her.

Kallie felt as though she was in a dream, transported back to her days as the beloved adopted daughter of the Reeves family, once again the star of the event. It wasn’t her title that mattered; it was her talent and capability that shone through.

“She’s too thin.” Jake’s voice broke through Kallie’s reverie, pulling her back to reality.

“Proper nutrition is essential. My daughter isn’t a big eater, so I hired a nutritionist and chef for her…” A guest continued, addressing Jake.

Kallie expected Jake to grow impatient with the conversation, but surprisingly, he listened with genuine interest.
