Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1129:

Elma harbored a deep wish for Jake and Kallie to reconcile, to have the happy family she always yearned for. But in Elma’s mind, Kallie’s happiness eclipsed all else. If she had to choose, she’d readily relinquish everything to stay with Kallie.

In the past, Elma had lived with Cara. She used to believe that her perceived bad behavior was the reason she couldn’t win Cara’s love. But after returning to live with Kallie, she truly understood the depths of maternal love. Kallie gave her a childhood filled with joy and wonder. She was happy during her time with Kallie. And children always yearned for their mothers.

Seeing Elma’s unwavering determination to stay with her, Kallie felt her eyes burn with unshed tears. She hugged Elma again, her embrace filled with fierce protectiveness.

“Elma, no matter what, I will protect you.”

Now that Elma had agreed to leave, Kallie’s most pressing task was to find someone to help them. Her assistants were all in Burmoos, a considerable distance away. If she called for their help, it would undoubtedly alert Jake before they could reach her.

A pang of regret shot through Kallie. Her recent closeness with Jake had lulled her into a false sense of security, leaving her vulnerable. Kallie racked her brain, trying to think of someone who could help them. Although Clayton had offered his help if she ever found herself in trouble, her instincts screamed at her to keep her distance.

Suddenly, a name surfaced in Kallie’s mind. It was Edgar. Since yesterday, fragments of memories had flickered through her mind, and Edgar was among them. While her recollections of him were limited, an inner voice assured her that he was trustworthy. She was out of options.

With a surge of hope, Kallie dialed Edgar’s number.

It was a good thing Kallie had saved Edgar’s phone number in her contacts.

Kallie dialed the number, and almost immediately, the call connected. Edgar’s voice, tinged with surprise and concern, floated through the speaker.

“Miss Nixon? Is everything alright? It’s quite unexpected to receive your call.”

Since being dismissed by Jake, Edgar had kept in touch with Kallie sporadically. However, their communication had dwindled recently for no apparent reason.

Edgar hadn’t dwelled on it much, attributing the silence to Kallie’s busy life. Besides, he had been in touch with Sophie, who reassured him that her parents were doing fine and that everything at home was stable.

Sophie had even hinted that Kallie and Jake might have mended their relationship, which Edgar felt happy for them about.

Despite being dismissed by Jake, Edgar found himself living a serene and secure life, built on the substantial income he had earned while working for Jake.

Edgar’s thoughts were once tainted with sharp bitterness, but over time, he grew to accept the hand life had dealt him.

Recently, Clayton had approached Edgar, probing subtly to see if any resentments toward Jake lingered and hinting at a significant opportunity that might involve him.

Without hesitation, Edgar had forced Clayton out, his tone cold and unmistakably aggressive.

Despite being in his early thirties, Edgar had amassed enough wealth to last a lifetime. He could have ventured into starting his own business if he wished, but he chose to lead a tranquil life, enjoying carefree days alongside his wife and child. His young one was excelling at school, and even if Jake implored him to come back and work for him, he had no intentions of doing so.noveldrama

Thus, Edgar was a bit concerned at Kallie’s unexpected call.
