Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1326:

Florrie’s eyes darted around the room, clearly searching for something—or someone. She had heard faint noises as she approached the door, suggesting Jake was not alone. But upon entering, she found the room empty, much to her disappointment. She had thought Jake and Kallie might have already progressed to secret rendezvous. But apparently, she had been mistaken. Perhaps she had overthought things.

Putting her suspicions aside, Florrie focused on Jake, who was glaring at her intensely. With a disarming smile, she said, “Don’t be angry, Mr. Collins. I came here to share some very important news with you. You’ll be grateful once you hear it.”

Jake let out a cold laugh. His tone dripped with sarcasm as he spoke.

“You just barge in here without my permission, and now you expect gratitude? I should be throwing you out instead.”

Even though Florrie was displeased with Jake’s cold attitude, she carefully considered her next move. She knew Jake was still useful, and she couldn’t afford to upset him further. With a forced smile, she said, “Calm down. Just listen to what I have to say. It’s about Miss Nixon. I’ve noticed you’re interested in her, and, being the generous person I am, I thought I’d play matchmaker for both of you.”

Jake’s face softened slightly at the mention of Kallie, but his eyes still held an unreadable emotion.
