Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 63:

Ultimately, Kallie restrained herself. She knew provoking Jake would only backfire painfully. Thus, she repeated the question she had posed to him earlier through sign language. “Don’t you plan to marry Sarah? Why refuse my efforts to make room for her? Doesn’t she want to marry you?”

Yet again, Jake remained silent. His expression was inscrutable, the earlier anger dissolved.

After a brief silence, Jake finally spoke. “You can leave now. We’ll discuss the divorce later.”

Kallie hadn’t expected him to consent immediately and simply nodded in response. She gestured to remind him to eat before the food got cold. Then, she exited.

That evening, Jake didn’t return home.

Kallie suspected Jake might have gone to Sarah’s. Were Sarah and he contemplating when to get married after securing the divorce certificate? Or was it something entirely different?

Kallie walked over to the dressing table and opened a box she had placed there with care. Inside was the broken teapot that had belonged to Roderick.

As Kallie held the teapot, memories of Roderick, her joyful childhood, and her dreams for the future overwhelmed her. Tears streamed down her face. Why hadn’t she repaired the teapot while Roderick was still alive? That way, Roderick might have felt a bit happier in his last moments.
