Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1093:

Elma expressed her desire for the family to share a single tent at bedtime, which posed a significant challenge. The servants had set up multiple tents, yet none could comfortably accommodate all five family members.

Kallie and Jake initially declined the cramped arrangement. However, upon seeing Elma’s dismay, Kallie relented.

“Why don’t I stay with you and your dad, while your brother and sister stay in their own tent?” she suggested.

After some gentle coaxing, Elma finally agreed.

Elma repeatedly claimed to be tired, but it took her quite some time to fall asleep.

Kallie, who had been sleepy herself, found herself wide awake due to Elma’s agitation.

Once Elma finally drifted off, silence enveloped the tent.

Kallie glanced at Jake, assuming he was asleep as well, and began to enjoy the calming sounds of their natural surroundings. The peaceful atmosphere started to lull her into sleep.

Just as Kallie was nearing slumber, she felt a noticeable movement beside her. Thinking that Elma had stirred, she opened her eyes, only to find Jake’s face drawing near.

The sudden closeness startled Kallie, bringing her fully awake.
