Chapter 89:

Jake was the one who seized Kallie’s wrist. His brow furrowed as he stared at her with evident displeasure, his irritation stemming merely from her attempt to leave.

“What are you doing?” Jake demanded in a hushed tone. “Come back with me.”

Kallie met his gaze, her expression clouded with confusion. She had been to similar events with Jake before, yet she always felt like she didn’t belong. Whether she clung to his side or left early, his complaints were inevitable.

Eventually, Kallie stopped accompanying Jake altogether, and Sarah had taken her place.

Now, confronted with Jake’s familiar scowl, Kallie braced herself for another round of criticism.

However, to her surprise, Jake pulled her back to his side without a word and steered her toward Louis to resume their conversation.

Keith, witnessing the scene, shifted from anxiety to embarrassment. He shot a glance at Sarah and quietly retreated.

“Oh, Mr. Reeves, you and your wife seem to get along well…” Louis remarked with a smile, engaging Jake in conversation as others joined in.

Throughout the evening, Jake’s grip on Kallie’s hand remained firm, never once loosening until the banquet concluded.
