Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 182:

Kallie reasoned that Jake was determined not to let anyone spoil Sarah’s birthday celebration. Clearly, the man had encountered the worst person to cross.

Kallie shifted her focus from the conflict, assisting the woman and her child to their feet.

Then, unexpectedly, the man attempted to deflect the blame. “Mr. Reeves, this wasn’t my doing. That woman came up to me first. I urged her to show some dignity, but she ignored my advice and started making a scene. It was her fault, not mine.”

“Really?” Upon hearing this, Jake glanced at Kallie.

Kallie, unfazed by the accusation, didn’t even turn to justify herself.

After helping the woman and the child up, Kallie offered the woman a comforting smile. She typed a message on her phone: “Take your child and find a quiet place to rest. We’ll take care of this situation.”

The woman nodded in appreciation but then shook her head with a bitter smile. “I can’t just walk away. My husband is still here, despite his faults. I can’t leave him behind. Miss, you seem so kind. Would you mind taking my child to a nearby room to rest? I’ll return in ten minutes. Here, please accept this as a token of my gratitude.”

The woman pulled a jade bracelet from her bag and placed it in Kallie’s palm.

Kallie shook her head, her expression conveying that the gift was far too precious for her to accept.

“Miss, please, it’s nothing. Just promise me you’ll look after my little one well,” the woman pleaded.

Kallie, touched by her earnest request, typed a message on her phone: “I’m more than willing to care for your child, but I can’t take this. It’s not difficult for me to help, and I don’t need any reward. I truly can’t accept this.”

Despite Kallie’s refusal, the woman persisted in giving the bracelet to her.

Amid their exchange, the bracelet almost slipped to the ground.
