Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 46:

Jerome had chosen a restaurant that wasn’t exactly accessible to just anyone. Located close to Hayden’s studio, it boasted an ambiance of elegance and sophistication.

As the group disembarked from the car, a young man greeted them at the entrance of the restaurant. “Grandpa,” he called out as Jerome approached.
