Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 877:

Kallie’s words carried a heartfelt fervor, her eyes shimmering with unfeigned sincerity, showing not a trace of duplicity.

Had Lacey not been privy to Kallie’s hidden facets, at least that was what she assumed, she could have been fooled. A sly chuckle rippled from Lacey, her eyes twinkling with enigmatic significance.

Kallie’s reaction was a mix of shock and intrigue, momentarily lost for words.
