Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 181:

Kallie believed she had nothing to conceal. Everything belonged to the past. She harbored no affection for Ethan and wished Joanna would trust her husband. Ethan couldn’t leave Joanna right away, but he might be trying.

Love couldn’t be forced. Even without Kallie in the picture, Ethan’s feelings for Joanna might never deepen, and he could possibly fall for someone else.

Joanna found it hard to immediately counter Kallie’s assertions. With a forced smile tinged with resentment, she retorted, “So, you’re implying my husband still cares for you, and I should just forgive you both?”

Kallie shook her head, typing her response. “What I’m trying to say is that you shouldn’t be trapped in a relationship without a future. Ethan needs to realize this, and so do you.”

Joanna’s gaze shifted. “Is that everything you wanted to say?” she asked sharply.

Kallie nodded and gently rested a hand on her stomach, smiling faintly. She resumed typing. “I probably shouldn’t be saying this, and you might think I’m interfering, but I’m pregnant and could be seen as a threat to your relationship with Ethan. If you and Ethan are truly meant to be, I genuinely hope you find happiness together.”

Joanna pressed her lips tightly, her tone icy. “Time’s up. I’m leaving.”

Kallie gave a nod and moved aside. She wasn’t sure if her words had made an impact on Joanna, but she had spoken her piece. Now, it was Joanna’s choice to believe her or not.

Exiting the hotel, Joanna scanned her surroundings. “He still hasn’t come?” she asked.

Joanna had texted Ethan when she decided to leave, half-hoping to provoke a reaction.

Joanna was aware that her departure might seem abrupt, yet she was curious about how Ethan would respond. Ideally, he would have come out to inquire why she suddenly decided to leave. Maybe they would have even argued, a sign that he cared.

But Ethan showed no response, indifferent to whether she stayed or not. They might as well have been strangers.

Despite anticipating this, a sharp sting of hurt still took Joanna by surprise. She clenched her fists tightly.
