Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 96:

Originally, the trip was meant for Kallie and Irene alone, but when Linsey heard about it, she decided to join in.

Linsey proposed she arrive earlier to secure the hotel reservation and then pick them up from the airport.

However, to their surprise, it was Ethan who greeted them at the airport.

Kallie, slightly taken aback, signed to ask why Ethan was there, having assumed he was overwhelmed with work.

Ethan responded with a grin, “Yeah, I’d been buried in work recently, but I needed a little escape. I figured I might as well join you guys for some fun. Linsey found a great place and is waiting for us there.”

Hearing this, Kallie didn’t resist anymore. She and Irene hopped into Ethan’s car together.

Only upon arrival did they discover what Linsey considered fun.

Their destination turned out to be a museum near Eastonville University, known for its long-standing history and nearby ancient burial sites. The area had yielded artifacts that were thousands of years old, primarily consisting of jewelry and decorations.

As Kallie read the museum’s introductory sign, her eyes lit up with excitement. She turned to Irene, enthusiastically gesturing to express her thrill.

Although Kallie couldn’t speak, her animated motions conveyed her delight clearly.

Irene gazed at Kallie with warmth in her eyes. “You really adore this place, don’t you? When we head back, let’s pick up some souvenirs. Who knows? You might find some inspiration for your artifact restorations.” Kallie responded with a nod of agreement.

From a distance, Linsey caught sight of Kallie and rushed over, enveloping her in a bear hug.

Kallie, accustomed to Linsey’s vibrant energy, smiled warmly, her eyes twinkling.

Linsey looked around with a proud sparkle in her eye. “So, what do you think? Isn’t this spot I discovered amazing? We can’t take pictures, but there’s a lot to see. There are also several interactive activities. We should definitely try some out.”

The group shared laughs and light conversation as they made their way deeper into the venue.
