Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 127:

When Kallie heard Jake’s words, a sudden panic propelled her to her feet. She hastily gestured for him to just whip up something easy for her.

Jake felt his anger ebb away at her reaction. He moved to the kitchen, noting its tidiness, and called for ingredients to be delivered.

When Edgar got the call, he double-checked the caller ID to confirm it was indeed Jake’s number. He even speculated whether Jake’s phone had been snatched. Although it was Jake’s unmistakable voice on the line, the request seemed uncharacteristic of him.

“Mr. Reeves, you’re asking me to pick up groceries so you can cook?” Edgar asked, a hint of amusement playing at the corners of his mouth.

Jake grunted softly, picking up on Edgar’s skepticism, his patience thinning. “Is there an issue?”

“No! Of course not! I’ll bring them right away!” Edgar blurted out, regaining his focus.

After ending the call, Edgar directed his team to handle the shopping. He made sure to remind them, “Once you deliver the groceries, leave right away. Don’t bother Mr. Reeves, understood?”

Jake had full confidence in Edgar’s capability to follow through efficiently. Less than fifteen minutes later, all the ingredients Jake required were delivered.

Kallie observed Jake bustling about in the kitchen, her emotions tangled in confusion. She had never imagined she’d witness such a scenario in her life. Jake’s unexpected benevolence both surprised and disconcerted Kallie. Perhaps he recognized that he and Sarah had overstepped, and he was trying to make up for it. Yet, for Kallie, such gestures were no longer necessary.

Jake surprised Kallie by producing an entire spread of dishes. Expecting a culinary disaster, Kallie was genuinely impressed by how presentable everything looked.

Jake sat opposite her, choosing not to eat himself. “Please, try it,” he urged, his voice slightly hoarse, betraying a mix of awkwardness and forced nonchalance. He couldn’t stop stealing glances at Kallie’s reactions.
