Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 211:

Stan was taken aback by the turn of events. “I know a bit about your relationship with Jake. You two have shared your lives since childhood. Although Sarah now holds his affection, I can’t help but feel he still harbors feelings for you. His lack of reaction to your predicament really puzzles me.”

Weary, Kallie ceased trying to discern whether Stan was merely being sarcastic or testing her.

Kallie tapped a response into her phone. “Sarah was Jake’s first and most profound love. Without my stepping into his life, they would have been married ages ago. Sarah confided in me once that Jake had intended to elope with her abroad to avoid marrying me, but Roderick stopped them. Even to this day, Jake still suspects it was I who tipped off the news.”

The memory of Sarah’s face, etched with resentment and dissatisfaction as she recounted the story, remained clear in Kallie’s mind. And there was a trace of complacency in Sarah’s tone.

At that time, shortly after their wedding, Kallie had been completely unaware of the turmoil brewing beneath the surface or of Jake’s deep-seated resistance to their marriage.

Feeling like an outsider in her own marriage, Kallie sought out Jake for a candid conversation.

Unexpectedly, Jake’s response was terse and dismissive. “Why do you bother with these trivialities? They are of no consequence to you.”

Although Jake neither confirmed nor denied the accusation, his tone spoke volumes.

Now, observing Jake’s demeanor around Sarah, Kallie couldn’t help but believe in Sarah’s past revelations.

Stan appeared taken aback by this disclosure. A sinister thought flickered in his eyes.

“I never would have guessed that my half-brother is still so infatuated with that woman,” Stan commented.
