Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 99:

Kallie’s stomach began to feel uncomfortable. She withdrew from Jake’s grasp and turned toward the bed.

Jake’s gaze lingered on Kallie’s back, his expression growing stormy.

Kallie climbed into bed and drew the blanket over her head. She remained hidden beneath it until the sound of Jake’s departure reached her ears.

A sigh of relief escaped Kallie, mingled with a twinge of sadness. There was nothing she could do about her husband going to see another woman. Worse still, she was expected to pretend everything was alright.

Clutching her stomach, Kallie pondered the possibility of divorce. It seemed like the best solution for both her and their unborn child.

Morning arrived swiftly, and thankfully, Kallie had slept well.

Linsey was cheerful and already waiting at the door when Kallie awoke. Ethan was with Linsey.

Upon Kallie opening the door, Ethan peered inside, his relief palpable at the absence of Jake, the man he loathed.

Linsey took Kallie’s arm. “Come on. Let’s head to the Eastonville University cafeteria. It’s been ages since I graduated. I can barely remember what the food was like.”

Kallie’s mood brightened instantly upon seeing Linsey’s cheerful face.

First thing in the morning, the group of four headed to the cafeteria for breakfast.

The campus was abuzz with activity, as preparations were underway everywhere.

Surrounded by the flurry of movement, Kallie felt slightly overwhelmed. She reminisced about her carefree university days when worries were few and far between.

Time had indeed flown by. Much had changed, and those carefree days seemed as if they belonged to another life altogether.

The group scoured the venue, but Kallie’s designated spot was nowhere to be found.
