Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 230:

Taking a deep breath, Kallie decided to gamble. Even if she screwed up, things couldn’t get much worse, could they?

Kallie poured her heart and soul into the design, revising those sketches until her fingers cramped. By the last revision, Bria chucked the sketch right at Kallie’s face. “What the hell is this crap? If you don’t know how to draw, then don’t take on this job.”

There were dark circles under Kallie’s eyes, as if she hadn’t slept in a week. Bria’s insults stung, but Kallie held her ground, her resolve steady. Without a word, Kallie pulled out another sketch.

Bria crossed her legs, a cruel smile twisting her lips. The irony wasn’t lost on Kallie. Bria actually liked the second design Kallie made, even though she’d yelled at Kallie about it earlier.
