Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1179:

Kallie’s resentment toward Jake and Lacey for their machinations against Elma simmered beneath the surface, but she recognized that now was not the time to act on those feelings.

The meeting dragged on until the early hours, concluding only at 3 a.m. Exhausted, Kallie decided to drive back home. As she got down to the underground parking lot of her building, there, in a dimly lit corner, stood a familiar figure she hadn’t expected to see.

Kallie’s eyes darted briefly to the familiar figure lingering not far from her. Her heart quickened as she accelerated her steps toward her car, deliberately averting her gaze to maintain her composure.

Just as Kallie reached the vehicle and began to unlock the door, a firm grip seized her hand.

“Kallie,” Clayton called out, his voice wavering with a mix of desperation.

“Do you really want to erase me from your life forever?”

Panic surged through Kallie as she attempted to wrench her hand free, but Clayton’s hold was unyielding, leaving her no room to escape. Frustration flashed in her eyes as she met his gaze, her tone icy and resolute.
