Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 203:

Sarah’s mood brightened immediately at Edgar’s words. The anger vanished from her eyes, replaced by a spontaneous smile. “I knew Jake still cared about me,” she declared, her voice filled with satisfaction.

However, a touch of frustration soon colored Sarah’s tone. “But Edgar, be honest with me, is Jake so upset that he refuses to even see me?”

Edgar sighed heavily. “Miss Miller, you’re reading too much into it. If Mr. Reeves were truly that upset, would I be here discussing this with you? Everything I’ve told you comes straight from Mr. Reeves’ confidences. Should Melinda or Shirley decide to visit one day, you’ll need to be very careful not to disclose anything.”

“Of course,” Sarah agreed, nodding earnestly.

“But…” Sarah’s expression clouded with concern. “Jake is still angry with me. How can I appease him? You’ve been his confidant for years. Any suggestions?”

Edgar appeared to ponder deeply before responding, “It might be wise to heed Mr. Reeves’ suggestions. Visit his family less and refrain from seeing him at the company. Some distance might just do the trick, allowing Mr. Reeves to recognize your considerateness.”

That idea seemed to resonate with Sarah, who smiled, relieved. “Don’t worry. I get it. It’s surprising, though, how that bitch Kallie managed to seduce Brent after realizing she had no chance with Jake. Given that Jake intends to use the child as leverage against Brent, I’ll hold off on any actions against her.”

After saying that, Sarah casually flipped her hair back and added, “I’ll wait a bit before going to see Jake.”

With a confident stride, Sarah then walked away in her high heels.

Edgar, feeling a wave of relief, patted his chest, thankful that he had managed to soothe Sarah. It seemed there would be a few peaceful days ahead.

Meanwhile, Kallie was completely out of the loop about the tension between Jake and Sarah. Not seeing them at the Reeves’ residence, she relished the calm of the past few days.

However, Kallie soon realized that this tranquility was fleeting.

Returning to the Reeves’ villa after work one day, Kallie noticed several Rolls-Royce cars lined up outside the gate, stirring a sense of dread within her.
