Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 920

Chapter 920:

While Jake might claim he no longer harbored feelings toward Kallie, Lacey saw through his facade. Jake was always adept at masking his feelings. His love for Kallie was so profound that he couldn’t fully hide it. A wave of regret washed over Lacey. Perhaps she was wrong to drive Jake to despise Kallie. His hatred was born out of love. The deeper Jake’s hatred for Kallie grew, the more it spiraled out of control.

Leo’s expression was loaded with unspoken words, sending a wave of nervousness through Lacey. Her stomach tightened uncomfortably. Trying to quell the rising anxiety, Lacey steadied her breathing and adopted an air of nonchalance. She crossed the threshold of the study with deliberate grace and addressed Jake with a respectful nod.
