Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1527:

Kallie was shocked by this revelation.

Jake continued, “It was partly my fault. I didn’t catch on to what was happening and allowed Clayton to seize the moment.”

Kallie shook her head. “I share the blame as well.”

She now understood why Caitlin harbored such resentment toward her. It was because of this incident. But did Caitlin really believe she was responsible?

Kallie felt even more disheartened and turned to hug Jake. “Let’s drop it. Caitlin is completely taken by Clayton now. It’s pointless to intervene. Let’s leave it be for now.”

Kallie had come to a decision. With Caitlin now completely charmed by Clayton, revealing that he was behind what happened wouldn’t change her mind. It would likely only escalate their conflict. It was better to step back and let Caitlin learn the truth through her own experiences.

But Kallie knew she couldn’t stand by idly if Caitlin was in danger. She would step in if it became necessary.

Jake embraced her firmly. “You shouldn’t be burdened by this. I’ve collected substantial evidence against Clayton. Don’t worry, he won’t get away with it.”

A sudden thought brightened Kallie’s expression, and she looked up at Jake with a mischievous grin. “Linsey has put together a travel plan. Want to check it out? I think it’ll be fun. Once Sophie is feeling better, we could take a trip.”noveldrama

Jake’s brow furrowed slightly and he gave Kallie a somewhat aggrieved look. “Do we really have to bring Linsey along?”

Kallie hummed in response.

Jake quickly clarified, “I don’t mean she’ll bother us. I just dislike the idea of sharing your attention with someone else.”

Kallie playfully tapped Jake on the forehead. “What are you thinking? Even without the kids and Linsey, my time could never be entirely yours.”

Jake snuggled closer, resting his head against Kallie’s neck. His voice, tinged with a hint of sadness, echoed as he spoke. “What about now? Is your time mine now? Even just a little in the future?”

Kallie’s heart skipped a beat at his vulnerability. She chuckled softly and replied, “I should record this moment and show everyone. Who would believe that the formidable Mr. Reeves is now my love-struck puppy?”

Instead of reacting with irritation, Jake leaned in for a kiss, his eyes sparkling with emotion. “Yes, I’m your puppy. Maybe now I can have a little more of your time as a reward?”

Kallie blushed deeply, nervously biting her lower lip. “I give up. I can’t outdo you. You’re far cheekier than I am.”

Jake seemed not to hear her words as he gently kissed her lips. However, realizing they were in a hospital and that Sophie was still unwell, Jake restrained his desires. He gently encouraged Kallie to get some rest while he took it upon himself to care for Sophie.

After everyone had settled for the night, Jake quietly left the hospital room for a stroll. Unexpectedly, he encountered Clayton in the hallway. Their eyes met, and the atmosphere instantly became charged with tension.
