Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1215:

With this thought, Jake felt his spirits lift, and a smile broke across his face.

However, his unexpected smile alarmed Kallie. She retreated a few steps, almost stumbling.

As she teetered on the edge of falling, Jake reached out, caught her, and drew her close.

Kallie remained in Jake’s arms just briefly before she wriggled out of his hold. Her face was slightly flushed, not from embarrassment, but from sheer rage.

Kallie was so enraged that she felt like biting Jake. Through gritted teeth, she asked, “Jake, what do you really want? This isn’t funny.”

Jake met her gaze.

“If you want me to let you and the kids go, it’s simple. Let’s find a peaceful spot to talk properly. Schedule a time to talk things over. Regardless of the result of our talk, I’ll set you free afterward. You can get your tickets early. You know I stick to my word. Let’s not fool each other, okay?”

Kallie’s look toward Jake was fraught with mixed emotions. She believed there wasn’t much left to discuss between them. But if it might settle matters, she was willing to try. Should Jake choose to harm them after their discussion, she resolved to harden her heart. After a moment of consideration, Kallie nodded in agreement.
