Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1087:

Feeling a bit down, Kallie decided to go find Jake. She had something important to discuss with him, something they had put off from the day before. It was starting to feel like Jake could read her mind because every time she tried to bring it up, he somehow managed to change the subject.

But Kallie was determined to talk to him about it today. She didn’t want to put it off any longer.

When Kallie arrived at the office, she found Jake massaging his temples. He looked exhausted. Even though he had gone to bed early yesterday, he had been intimate with Kallie until almost dawn. He had gotten up around nine this morning, so he had only gotten about four hours of sleep.

Kallie hadn’t gotten much sleep either, but she had nothing urgent to do.

Without a word, Kallie walked over to Jake and gently started massaging his temples.

Jake visibly relaxed at her touch. He leaned back in his chair, closing his eyes for a moment.noveldrama

“So, how was your day with the kids?”

Kallie smiled.

“It was fun,” she replied.

“Elma wanted to watch a movie, but she fell asleep before it was over. She kept saying she wanted to wait until you were free so we could all play together as a family.”

The word “family” sent a warm feeling through Jake. It was such a beautiful word, a word that seemed almost too good to be true. On impulse, Jake reached out and took Kallie’s hand in his. Kallie was surprised by his sudden gesture and tried to pull her hand away, but Jake held on tight.

“Did I hurt you?” Kallie asked, leaning closer.

Jake shook his head.

Kallie found herself gazing at Jake’s impeccable profile and Adam’s apple.

Jake gently pulled her toward him, and she ended up sitting on his lap.

Only then did Kallie realize Jake was in the middle of a video conference. The screen was full of serious-looking executives. Kallie’s stomach lurched.

“This is not okay,” she murmured, trying to get up. She kept her voice down, afraid to make a scene.

Jake chuckled at her flustered reaction but didn’t let her go. He pulled her even closer until their bodies were pressed together. Kallie could hear his heart beating.

Kallie’s face burned with embarrassment. She turned away, unable to meet the eyes of the executives on the screen. She wondered what they would think of them. Was Jake out of his mind? She was furious with him.

Jake seemed to sense her anger and stopped teasing her.

“Relax,” he said softly.

“I didn’t turn on the camera or the microphone.” The meeting was almost over anyway. The executives were just listening to reports from their teams. If anything important came up, they would contact him directly.
