Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 948:

“Kallie, what a surprise! I wasn’t expecting you. I hope you’ll forgive me if the hospitality isn’t up to your standards.”

Kallie met Lacey’s gaze coolly, her fingers wrapping around the coffee cup as she took a deliberate sip.

“Lacey, I’m here to see Jake. If you’re planning to put on a show, you might want to reconsider.”

Thinking of Elma in their hands, Kallie had no patience for pleasantries with Lacey. She spoke plainly, cutting straight to the point.

“This house is where Jake and I lived together. Half of it belongs to me, regardless of who claims to be the hostess. Without my consent, that title means nothing.”

Kallie’s words cut through the air, shattering Lacey’s calm facade with a sharpness that left her rattled.

Lacey’s smile stiffened as her hands clenched at her sides.
