Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 164:

After her pent-up emotions subsided, Sarah’s fury began to wane. She knew that the baby Kallie was carrying had to be dealt with, but she realized that any overt actions might play right into Kallie’s hands.

It was commonly believed that while a man might not always love a woman, guilt could bind him to her in unexpected ways.

Determined, Sarah resolved to leave openings for Kallie to exploit.

Meanwhile, Kallie was under the impression that Jake was taking her to a place of ill repute. Anxiety and fear clouded her thoughts during the entire journey.

However, to her astonishment, they ended up at a shopping mall instead. It was one owned by the prestigious Reeves Group, renowned for its array of luxury boutiques.

During their marriage, Jake had presented Kallie with a card that offered limitless spending within the mall, an ultimate VIP privilege.

Despite the lack of emotional warmth in their marriage, Jake had always been generous with material comforts.

Reflecting on her past woes, Kallie regretted not taking advantage of the card to indulge in lavish shopping sprees at the mall sooner.

As they entered, Kallie remained puzzled about Jake’s true intentions. She trailed him to the third floor, a place dominated by upscale women’s brands.

Jake strode into a jewelry store where a sales associate promptly welcomed them with a smile. “Good morning, sir. Are you looking to select some jewelry for this lady?”

Jake’s response was icy. “Is there just one person working in this whole place? I don’t need your help. Find someone else.”
