Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 163:

For the following days, Kallie made a point of steering clear of Jake. Despite sharing the same house, their encounters became increasingly rare. However, they occasionally still crossed paths.

Whenever they did, Kallie’s face remained an icy mask, betraying no recognition of Jake.

One day, as relentless rain seemed intent on flooding the world outside, they met in the hallway.

A chilling wind swept through, cutting against Kallie’s back. Yet, the coldness of the breeze was nothing compared to the frost in her heart.

Kallie maintained her composed facade, but the sight of Jake’s indifferent expression twisted a knife in her heart.

Jake caught her eye briefly. “What’s up?” he asked casually.

In fact, it was Kallie who had sought him out this time. She took a deep breath, attempting to steady her frazzled nerves. With a gesture, she conveyed her feelings of being suffocated in the house and her desire to get out, even if just for a while.

Jake simply pursed his lips, offering no response.

Seeing him like this, Kallie grew even more anxious. Was he about to refuse? She continued gesturing, signaling her intention to stay put as per their agreement. She indicated that if he had concerns, he could always have someone keep an eye on her.

Jake finally broke the silence, his words sharp and piercing, “Why bother watching you? I only kept you here to signal to Brent not to stir trouble. Run if you wish. I have countless ways to retrieve you.”

His tone carried a palpable threat, and Kallie sensed he was dead serious. He truly meant what he said.

With her anxiety mounting, Kallie averted her gaze from Jake’s icy stare and looked downward. Her hand waved faintly, querying whether this meant she could indeed leave.
