Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 940

Chapter 940:

Hearing Lacey’s indignant outburst, Clayton let out a low, amused chuckle.

“Is that so? Then why, three years ago, did you tip me off about Jake’s whereabouts?

“Shut up!” Lacey shouted, her voice trembling with anger.

The mention of that betrayal cut deep, a wound that never fully healed.

It was a painful reminder of the moment she had crossed a line she could never uncross, a betrayal that haunted her to this day.

Her heart twisted as she remembered how desperately she longed to be with Jake.

Perhaps his love for her would be strong enough to overlook her past sins.
