Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1127

Chapter 1127:

An unsettling feeling crept over Jake, making him suspect that something was off about Kallie. He had considered addressing it the previous day, but the sight of her drawn, weary features had made him hold his tongue.

Today, mustering his courage, Jake closed the distance between them and tenderly captured Kallie’s hand in his own.

As he had anticipated, Kallie instinctively withdrew her hand. A pang of sorrow struck Jake.

“Kallie, have I done something to upset you?” he inquired, his voice laden with concern.

Taking a deep, steady breath, Kallie fought to preserve her calm and collected demeanor. Her lips curled into a faint, tired smile as she murmured, “It’s nothing. I’m just feeling a bit off today. It’s a good thing we’re not leaving today—I could really use the rest. Can I go see Elma now?”

Despite Kallie’s reassurances, Jake was not easily deceived. A brief shadow of anguish passed through his eyes as he bit back his concerns. Their shared moments these past months had kindled a flicker of hope in Jake, hope for a renewed beginning with Kallie. He trusted her implicitly. Even if Kallie was harboring unspoken resentments, he trusted that she would confide in him when she felt ready. Forcing the issue wouldn’t help.

With a nod, Jake said, “Elma’s at the hotel, waiting. Let’s go there together.”
