Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 102:

Ethan stepped back, his worry for Kallie evident in his eyes. “Contact me immediately if you need anything,” he said.

Kallie gave a nod and followed Sarah upstairs.

They came upon a stairwell where Sarah extended her hand toward Kallie. “Hand it over,” she ordered.

Kallie shook her head firmly. She typed her response on her phone and showed the screen to Sarah: “I won’t give it to you. It’s my thank-you gift for Jake. Since he doesn’t want it, it’s mine to handle. I won’t let you destroy it.”

Sarah laughed, seemingly unbothered. She crossed her arms and moved closer to Kallie. “I suspect you’re keeping it so you can tell Jake I bullied you, then use this gift to win him over and mend things.”

Kallie tightened her lips, her expression steely as she shook her head again. She activated the text-to-speech function and had her phone articulate her response: “No, I won’t. I’m cutting ties with Jake. You don’t need to worry about me anymore. I agreed to meet you today just to make this clear. After the divorce, Jake and I will be strangers. I won’t interfere in your life, and I expect you won’t in mine either.”

Sarah scrutinized Kallie’s face, searching for any sign of faltering. But all she saw was resolve.

Deep down, Sarah had hoped Kallie’s talk of divorce was merely a tactic, but Kallie’s demeanor suggested she was deadly serious.

Lately, Sarah had noticed Jake’s growing disinterest in her. On the rare occasions when he did show some affection, it seemed to occur only in Kallie’s presence.

This pattern repeated itself too many times to be a mere coincidence.

Sarah had hoped that with Jake and Kallie’s impending divorce, her chance would finally arrive. However, contrary to her expectations, Jake became even more distant.

Kallie’s recent actions only served to confirm Sarah’s suspicions.
