Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 64:

“Who in the world is this lunatic?” Gregory exclaimed, his eyes widening in shock as he stared at Shirley.

Before Kallie could respond, Gregory’s expression softened to one of regret, as if realizing something. “Oh, my apologies. You’re the patient, aren’t you? I shouldn’t have said that.”

“Shut up!” Shirley’s fury was palpable, her stance tense as if she was on the verge of throwing a punch.

Quickly, Kallie stepped in, positioning herself between them and silently signaling to Gregory that Shirley was her mother-in-law.

“Oh, that must be tough taking care of her,” Gregory murmured with a solemn nod, his words inadvertently stoking Shirley’s anger further.

“Get out of my house!” Shirley’s command boomed across the room.

“At your age, you should watch your temper. It’s not good for your health. You might have a stroke,” Gregory said, his tone patient. “I’m just here as Kallie’s colleague, bringing her some work-related stuff. What’s got you so worked up? Are you feeling paranoid?”

But Shirley was beyond listening. Seizing Kallie’s wrist, she huffed, “I’ve caught you in the act this time, haven’t I? You slipped past me last time, but now I’m calling Jake back! Let’s see how you wiggle out of this one!”

Kallie tried to wriggle free, her heart sinking.

Shirley could maintain a poised appearance before others, yet she reserved her most spiteful and hideous behavior for Kallie alone.

Kallie had become Shirley’s emotional punching bag, a target for all her frustrations and anger.

“No wonder you refuse a divorce, splurging Jake’s money and keeping a toy boy on the side!” Shirley lashed out in front of Gregory, who she mistakenly thought was just a young lover funded by a wealthy woman. Little did she know, Gregory hailed from a rich family himself.
