Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1325:

Though Florrie was reluctant to admit it, she knew deep down that if she could go back in time and choose again, she’d pick Jake without a second thought. Calvert’s situation wasn’t as bad as Jake’s, but neither of them were good men. So, why not opt for the more attractive one?

However, Florrie had invested too much time and energy in Calvert over the years. The thought of giving up was something she couldn’t bear. Moreover, as Florrie aged, she felt she had no better options. Staying with Calvert seemed to be her only choice.

Additionally, Florrie didn’t have a child. She feared that being alone in her later years would leave her miserable. Therefore, she was determined to stick with Calvert regardless of the circumstances.

Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Florrie cast a meaningful glance at Kallie, who seemed upset. Florrie deliberately taunted, “Miss Nixon, if you doubt me, why not test it tonight? See for yourself whom Calvert values more—me or you?” With those words, Florrie turned and walked away.

Shortly after Florrie left, Kallie dropped her furious facade. She decided she should have a talk with Jake about Florrie’s date with Calvert that night.

Later that evening, when Kallie found the perfect moment, she scaled the balcony to Jake’s room.
