Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 158:

Edgar hesitated for a moment before moving to assist Jake. However, Jake simply gave Edgar a stern look.

Getting the message, Edgar refrained from helping and instead opened the car doors for them both.

Kallie, visibly drained, struggled to help Jake get into the vehicle. Drenched and exhausted, her efforts seemed even more difficult.

As Kallie prepared to climb in herself, Jake abruptly shut the door in front of her.

Taken aback, Kallie knocked on the window, gesturing to question his intentions.

Jake ignored her and instructed Edgar to find another car for her.

Edgar, giving Kallie a sympathetic look, nodded and cranked the engine to life.

Fortunately, another car pulled up shortly thereafter.

Once Kallie settled into the new car, the driver handed her a towel and switched on the heater. The driver even said, “There is some cold medicine here if you need it.”

Kallie’s response was a shake of her head. She recognized this as another of Jake’s maneuvers, a mix of kindness and severity. She pondered over his motives and objectives but failed to come to a conclusion. She simply reclined in her seat and drifted into a light sleep.

Meanwhile, Jake, who had taken some sober-up medicine, began to feel slightly better, though his face still bore a reddened hue.

Edgar couldn’t contain himself any longer and addressed Jake earnestly. “Mr. Reeves, I understand your anger about Kallie having a child with another man, but confronting her this way isn’t going to resolve anything. You could either have a conversation with her to clear the air, or decide to walk away permanently.”

Jake lifted his gaze, meeting Edgar with a frosty stare. “Since when did you become so invested in my private life?”
