Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 90:

“Mr. Reeves, you’re right. I should demonstrate some sincerity,” Donovan said and signaled to the sign language interpreter beside him to retrieve the gift from his car.

But Kallie didn’t want this. She wasn’t the type to calculate every little thing or be overly concerned about money. Although she understood the business world, she wasn’t purely a businesswoman. She was nothing like Jake, who prioritized profit above all else.

So, Kallie quickly gestured to Donovan that she didn’t need any gifts, expressing that she was willing to offer her assistance if he needed it.

However, the interpreter had already departed, and Donovan failed to understand Kallie’s gestures.

Jake caught on instantly.

As Kallie was about to clarify using her phone, Jake approached. “How generous, are you?” he remarked, eyeing Kallie with evident skepticism.

Kallie met his gaze defiantly—she didn’t want to become someone like him.

Stepping aside, Kallie typed a message on her phone before presenting it to Jake, showing her stance. “What’s all this about?”

“Kallie, you’re too generous!” Donovan exclaimed, his expression shifting to a smile. “Actually, it’s for an event at Eastonville University. I was hoping you could do a presentation.”

Donovan intended for it to be a speech, but Kallie’s inability to speak transformed it into a presentation.

“It marks the 50th anniversary of the Archaeology Department at Eastonville University, which coincides with the 80th anniversary of the university itself. As an alumnus, I felt compelled to return and join the celebration,” Donovan explained to Kallie in detail.
