Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1194:

Elma stepped out cautiously and suspiciously stared at Jake, her eyes red and swollen like a little rabbit’s.

“Are you really letting me go?” she asked, her voice tinged with disbelief.

Jake avoided her gaze, his tone gruff.

“Go on, before I change my mind.” Without hesitation, Elma took a step forward, but after a few paces, she suddenly remembered something and dashed back. She approached Jake and stood in front of him. She looked up at him, her expression serious, displaying a maturity far beyond her age.

“Mr. Reeves,” Elma addressed him formally and seriously by his title, refraining from calling him Dad.

Jake’s eyelid twitched at her words, but seeing the unshed tears in Elma’s eyes, he couldn’t bring himself to feel anger. He simply grunted in response, his gaze darkening.

Elma said, “You shouldn’t have gotten engaged to that awful woman. If you hadn’t, my mom wouldn’t have been so upset.”

Jake’s expression shifted, and he couldn’t help but ask, “Did your mom tell you that?”
