Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 996:

Suddenly, Kallie exclaimed, “Clayton! That’s it—Clayton Morgan. Is my husband, Clayton, known to you? Where might he be?” At her words, both Sophie’s and Jake’s demeanors shifted.

Jake’s eyes darkened notably, a storm of anger brewing within. Sophie’s features sagged with sorrow.

“Mom, your husband isn’t Clayton. He’s a deceitful man!” Sophie declared, her voice heavy with urgency.

Glancing at Jake, Sophie hastily said, “Despite the current strife between you and my mom, I hope you can trust that she would never willingly associate with someone like Clayton.”

Jake’s expression remained stoic, yet turmoil echoed in the silent void of his response. With all that had unfolded recently, he found himself at a loss for words. He had held on to the hope that once Kallie was safe, they could untangle their misunderstandings. Yet, he never imagined the situation would unravel as it did. Whether Kallie’s memory remained intact or not, her assertion that Clayton was her husband deeply wounded him. Though he had sensed there was something between her and Clayton, witnessing them together was something he couldn’t bear.

Jake exhaled a weary sigh, his hands loosening their hold on Kallie.
