Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 133:

At the mention of the need to talk to Jake, Kallie felt a bit lost and uncertain. Her relationship with Jake had become complicated. Perhaps visiting him might just push him further away.

Yet, Kallie understood Irene must have been desperate to ask for her help. Otherwise, Irene wouldn’t have approached her.

After a brief pause, Kallie sent her reply: “I’ll do what I can, but I can’t promise any miracles.”

Irene seemed relieved by this. “That’s all I ask. Just give it a shot. There’s always a possibility.”

Their conversation left Kallie feeling somewhat heavyhearted as she opened her messaging app to text Jake.

While typing, a sudden realization struck Kallie. Jake was currently away on a trip with Sarah. Bringing this up now could lead to another misunderstanding.

Deciding against it, Kallie chose to message Edgar instead. Initially, she considered being indirect. But she quickly dismissed the idea, knowing Jake was sharp enough to pick up on her true intentions, regardless. He might even ridicule her once she turned her back. It just wasn’t worth it.

Kallie texted Edgar directly: “Do you happen to know when Jake will be back? I need to discuss something with him.”

At that moment, Edgar was immersed in some pressing tasks. However, when he received Kallie’s message, his demeanor visibly changed, and a hint of relief washed over his tired face.

Energized by the interruption, Edgar didn’t respond immediately but hurried to Jake’s office, phone in hand.

In the office, Jake was perched on the edge of the desk, idly swinging a golf club, his handsome features set in a stern expression. Clearly, he wasn’t in the best of moods.

The sound of the door opening caused Jake to glance over with a slight frown. “What’s up?” he asked curtly.

Edgar moved closer and murmured something to Jake, who looked at him with mild annoyance.
