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.

Once everyone was comfortably seated and had exchanged a few pleasantries, Jerome, with a thoughtful expression, took a sip from his teacup and turned his attention to Kallie. “At the banquet the other day, my granddaughter might have slighted you. I want to apologize for that,” he said sincerely.

Kallie, caught off guard by the direction of Jerome’s apology, quickly stood up and gestured that she was fine and willing to let bygones be bygones. Plus, with the set of azure glazed porcelain as compensation, she felt she should have expressed her gratitude more deeply.
