Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 49:

“Yep, we were talking about a complete bastard, and here it is!” Linsey exclaimed as Sarah came into view, her brows knitting together almost instantly.

Sarah’s expression darkened, clearly stung by Linsey’s words, yet she composed herself with effort. She joined them, settling gracefully into a seat beside Linsey and Kallie. “I caught bits of your conversation just now. Tell me, Kallie, are you really planning to divorce Jake?” she asked, fixing Kallie with a steady look.

“And which ear did you eavesdrop with? What does it matter if we speak ill of a man? Feeling protective of him?” Linsey retorted bluntly.

Unaware of Sarah’s presence earlier, Linsey wondered how much Sarah might have overheard or if she was merely guessing.

Sarah turned to Kallie, her smile tinged with knowing. “You’ve already proposed the divorce to him, haven’t you?”

Kallie felt her heart flutter. However, it wasn’t entirely unexpected for Jake to confide in Sarah about her desire for a divorce. Jake and Sarah were inseparable. He shared everything with Sarah, as soulmates do. Yet, being confronted by Sarah still made her squirm.

“I think you shouldn’t go through with the divorce,” Sarah remarked firmly.

Both Kallie and Linsey were taken aback by her suggestion, with Linsey’s frown deepening. “What are you playing at? Just get out of here!”

Ignoring Linsey’s words, Sarah’s gaze remained fixed on Kallie. “Why even think about a divorce? I’ve heard it’s for my benefit, but I’ve always fared well on my own. Without marrying Jake, I’m capable of getting whatever I desire.”

Her assertion rang true. Even Kallie was aware of how much Jake lavished on Sarah.
