Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 138:

Kallie and Brent had just finished their meal. As Kallie made to leave, Brent’s phone rang.

The conversation on the other end of the line etched a grave expression on Brent’s face.

A wave of unease washed over Kallie, her instincts tingling with a bad premonition. She quickly typed a message to Brent: “Is something wrong with Jerome?”

Brent’s face remained somber, and after a brief hesitation, he replied, “It’s just some issues at work. Urgent, but nothing serious. I’m afraid I can’t drive you home today.”

Understanding the situation, Kallie nodded and told Brent not to rush and to drive safely.

With that, Brent hurried off. Kallie, now ready to leave herself, stepped out of the restaurant and was momentarily blinded by a sudden white flash.

It took Kallie a moment to realize it was the flash of a camera.

Panicking slightly, Kallie scanned the surroundings. She and Brent hadn’t done anything to warrant scrutiny, yet the threat of a scandal loomed large if a paparazzo were twisting the narrative.

Her search soon led her to a man nearby, camera in hand, looking decidedly flustered.

Once the man realized he’d been spotted, he bolted.

Kallie wanted to cry out and accuse the man of being a thief to capture the crowd’s attention. However, her inability to speak forced her into a desperate chase instead.

The man skillfully darted through the bustling crowd, eluding Kallie with ease.

Kallie could do nothing but watch as he disappeared further into the distance.
