Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 98:

“Did I hurt you?” Jake asked.

Kallie curled up tightly, assuming a defensive posture to keep Jake at bay.

Jake’s concern deepened. “Why are you being like this? Are you hurt?”

After feeling her abdomen and realizing she was fine, Kallie began to relax. She avoided Jake’s gaze and gestured that it was just her period.

Jake’s laugh was sharp and dismissive as he grabbed her chin. “If you don’t want me to touch you, just say it. I probably know your cycle better than you. Do you think you can fool me with that?”

A mix of anger and shame colored Kallie’s cheeks. How had Jake become so knowledgeable about her? It seemed impossible.

Kallie pondered over this briefly, which Jake interpreted as her deceit being uncovered. His glare was menacing, causing Kallie to recoil further into the bed.

Jake pulled her close, their closeness evident while his words remained icy. “You’ve become a liar. I won’t allow you to be on your own. I’ll speak to Eastonville University. You’re coming back with me today.”

Go back with him? Kallie’s eyes widened in shock. Pushing past her discomfort, she swiftly signed that she wouldn’t go back with him since she had made a commitment to someone else. She stressed that he didn’t get to dictate her life like that.

Jake sneered, “Consider this a consequence of your deceit. If you’re not keen on going back, then confess why you lied. Do you despise me so much that my touch repels you, or is there someone else in the picture? Was it Ethan who instilled the divorce in your mind?”

As Jake’s accusations intensified, Kallie transitioned from anger to deep hurt. She fixed him with a defiant stare. Why? She was carrying his child, yet here he was, hurling baseless accusations, completely oblivious to her condition.

Witnessing the sorrow in Kallie’s eyes, Jake’s stream of accusations began to falter, his own heart sinking with displeasure.

A heavy silence settled between them.
