Chapter 151:

Kallie finally caught a decent night’s sleep, the first in ages. Waking up in the cozy room, Kallie felt her baby moving inside her. It all felt like she was dreaming.

She wanted to find Irene, but as soon as she got up, she overheard a conversation outside.

It was Irene on the phone. “Mr. Hayes, no need to worry, Kallie’s safe. Has Jake done anything? He seems relentless, having tracked her down this fast. Okay, I won’t tell her. I doubt Jake will go too far!”

Irene hung up and turned to see Kallie, pale and standing in the doorway.

Irene’s heart skipped a beat. She quickly hid her phone and forced a smile. “You’re up. How are you feeling?”

Kallie shook her head, pointing at Irene’s phone, showing she’d heard everything.

She gestured urgently, asking if Jake knew she had run away and was with Brent. She was eager to know if she had caused them trouble and what Jake had done.

Seeing Kallie’s anxiety, Irene rushed to calm her down. “Hey, calm down. Look, it’s true Jake knows you left, but the situation is not as bad as you think. He’s just talking to Mr. Hayes right now and hasn’t made any moves. Mr. Hayes has gathered solid evidence of how the Reeves family treated you, including the forced abortion attempt. With all this dirt, even if Jake refuses a divorce, you can still take it to court. If he tries anything crazy, public opinion will rip him apart.”

Kallie felt touched by their efforts, but a pang of sadness hit her. She genuinely never wanted things to go this south with Jake. Their marriage had been a screw-up from day one, and she felt she’d kept Jake from Sarah all these years. If he hated her now, she couldn’t blame him.

Kallie hesitated and then suggested that when push came to shove, she’d like to talk to Jake before taking it to court.

Irene was exasperated. “After all the mess he’s put you through, you still have hope for him?”
