Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 389:

Kallie, caught in the middle, felt compelled to talk, despite wishing to stay out of it. She addressed Ethan with a mix of frustration and concern, “Mr. Brooks, though your wife’s comments are out of line, she does love you. Maybe if you reassured her more, she wouldn’t feel this way.”
