Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 415:

Kallie’s emotions tangled further. She truly saw no valid argument to reject Jake. Then Sophie got up and tugged at Kallie’s arm. “Mommy, he’s so unfortunate. If you don’t let him stay with us, he’ll end up homeless, sleeping on the streets. He won’t get much sleep or enough to eat.”

Kallie was both amused and slightly annoyed. She fixed Jake with a look of reproach and scoffed. “Do you really think it’s right to spin tales to a young girl just to get what you want?”

Jake shook his head, his response firm. “I’m not lying. That’s exactly my plan. I can’t leave Avalon right now. And if I’m not out on the streets, where else would I stay?
