Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1052:

Refusing to let the moment pass, Elma pressed on, insistent on chitchatting. When Jake declined, she turned her attention to Kallie, her eyes pleading for support. She shifted restlessly in bed, her small movements tugging at Kallie’s heart.

Cradling her daughter’s warm, soft form, Kallie felt her resolve give way. Unable to say no, she paused to think before saying softly, “How about I tell you a story?”

Elma’s face lit up as she nodded eagerly. She then glanced at Jake and added, “I want my daddy to tell one too.”

After a brief discussion, they came to a compromise. Kallie would start the story, and Jake would pick up where she left off. For both of them, this was effortless.

Taking turns, Jake and Kallie wove a whimsical tale, full of childlike wonder. In the beginning, their storytelling flowed in harmony. But as the narrative unfolded, it veered in unexpected and surprising directions.
