Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 70:

“What’s gotten into you?” Jake exclaimed, visibly shocked by Kallie’s reaction. He didn’t release his grip on her bag. Instead, he clutched her wrist tightly with his other hand. “Have you lost your mind? My mom mentioned you’ve been acting strange at home! What’s going on with you?”

Kallie didn’t respond. As Jake seized her hand, her instinctive reaction was primal—she bit him.

“Are you hiding something from me?” Jake demanded, his suspicions growing.

Suddenly, a thought crossed his mind, and he blurted out, “Did you really cheat on me?”

Kallie, having checked the contents of her bag, locked eyes with Jake, her expression a mix of defiance and wariness.

“You’re taking me back to our childhood. Remember our first real fight?” Jake’s tone softened, dipping into a nostalgic warmth.
