Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 668:

Caught between dreams and waking, Kallie’s eyes fluttered open and focused on Jake.

“Jake!” Kallie gasped, her voice thin and distant, as though she believed she was still dreaming.

“Stay still,” Jake instructed with a frown, trying to maintain some distance to think clearly.

Yet, as he watched her teeter on the edge of the bed, his resolve wavered. With a sigh, he moved closer to steady her, his actions softer than his words.

Enfolded in his comforting embrace, Kallie felt the warmth spread through her, calming her considerably.

However, she couldn’t suppress her body’s reflex. Her hands shot up, grasping at Jake’s collar as she attempted to pull herself up for a kiss.

Jake’s complexion flushed a deep crimson, his ears not spared, his reaction uncharacteristically shy. His voice, rough and laced with a barely concealed warning, broke the silence. “Don’t move. If you keep this up, I’ll have to throw you out.” Yet, his warning fell on deaf ears.
