Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1094:

Moved by the moment, Jake deepened their kiss.

Kallie struggled to breathe, wanting to push him away but lacking the strength, and finally surrendered.

Still, they went no further. After all, Elma was sleeping close by, and disturbing her seemed unwise.

They drifted into sleep, wrapped in each other’s embrace, and remained so until dawn.

Surprisingly, Elma was the first to wake up. Blearily, she opened her eyes to find herself on the edge of the bed, not nestled between her parents as usual. Jake and Kallie lay entwined in sleep.

Elma dimly recalled Jake moving her during the night. Slightly irked, she considered waking him but refrained, watching their peaceful slumber. Seeing them like this filled her with joy. Her parents were united again, ensuring their family would remain intact. That was certainly a positive outcome. With this in mind, she chose not to fault Jake.

Softly humming, Elma got dressed and left the tent.

Outside, Sophie and Calvin were already up.

The morning in the mountains was serene, with a thin mist enhancing the scenery.

The children made their way back to the lake, where they found a small raft waiting.

Elma had wanted to use the raft the previous day, but it was too late, and Kallie had said no, which led Elma to reluctantly abandon the idea.

Now, Elma could not restrain herself and coaxed Sophie and Calvin to join her.

“Sophie, Calvin, let’s play on this for a little while,” she urged.

Sophie looked concerned.noveldrama

“Elma, I don’t know how to row.”

Calvin let out a sigh.

“Neither do I.”

At their playful age, they were aware of their limits and the risk of trouble.

Elma, undeterred and full of adventure, continued to coax them with her playful charm.

“It’s fine. Nothing bad will happen. If you’re really concerned, we can call the bodyguards. There’s a rest area right here.” After persistent coaxing from Elma, Sophie finally gave in, sharing a knowing look with Calvin.

Calvin contacted the butler to request bodyguards proficient in swimming.

Thirty minutes later, the bodyguards arrived.

Elma excitedly led them onto the raft.

Sophie paused, looking back at the tent where Kallie and Jake were still sleeping.

“Maybe we should tell our parents.”

Elma frowned.

“They’re asleep. Let’s go play without them.”

Amused yet resigned, Sophie and Calvin exchanged glances before joining Elma on the raft.

Despite its size, the raft could accommodate five, so the three children and two bodyguards boarded.

At first, Sophie was anxious, but soon became enchanted by the surrounding nature. She started paddling, delighted by the new experience, which made her giggle.

Laughter from the children filled the air around the lake.

Meanwhile, Kallie woke up nestled in Jake’s arms. After a deep sleep, she felt a sense of contentment.
