Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 192:

Kallie’s grip on Jake loosened as if all her strength had been sapped away, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

The pain was so overwhelming that it left Kallie feeling numb, unable to even sense her own sadness.

Seeing Kallie’s distress, Irene hurried over, her voice soft and soothing as she leaned in to comfort her. “Kallie, remember the baby you’re carrying. Try not to get too upset. Mr. Hayes has just sent me a message that he’s on his way here now, and he’ll sort everything out.”

Though Irene’s words were whispered gently, Jake, who was standing not too far away, caught every word.

The mention of “the child in your belly” and “Mr. Hayes” visibly irritated Jake even further. His frown deepened, and he spoke with growing impatience, “What are the security guards doing? Hurry up and remove these people. The birthday party must continue. We can’t let these unworthy guests ruin our evening.”

Kallie flinched slightly when she heard him utter the word “unworthy.” Her eyelashes trembled as she fought to restrain her tears.

At that moment, any lingering hope Kallie had held for Jake dissolved completely. She chastised herself silently for not recognizing his true nature sooner. He had once shielded her and shown her kindness, perhaps only because she was his foster sister.

Kallie pondered if their marriage had not occurred, perhaps their relationship would not have soured to this extent. Maybe they should never have crossed paths at all. Perhaps this painful situation was their inevitable destiny.

A throbbing pain surged through Kallie’s temples. Her motions were slow, and she realized that she needed to leave.

“Okay,” Irene responded understandingly. She offered her arm to support Kallie, guiding her toward the exit.

Sarah, watching their departure, felt a spike of displeasure. The evening’s drama wasn’t supposed to end so soon. She had envisioned Kallie crumbling, desperately pleading for mercy. Leaving this soon? She still had a surprise for Kallie.

“Kallie, why are you rushing to leave?” Sarah called out, her voice carrying across the room.
