Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1498:

Kallie felt a twinge of concern upon hearing this. She extended her arms, wrapped them around Jake’s neck, and kissed him on the cheek. “Thinking back, I realize I was so worn out last night that I laid all this on you. This was supposed to be my problem, yet here I am, pulling you into it.”

Jake playfully pinched Kallie’s nose, his actions slightly punitive, but his eyes remained warm. “What are you talking about? Aren’t we a family?”

Kallie laughed. “Okay, okay, I take that back. Don’t be upset.”

Jake let the topic drop, looking at Kallie with a slightly raised eyebrow. “If you’re really grateful, show me some real sincerity.”noveldrama

Kallie grasped his intentions and felt like bolting, but it was already too late.

Jake securely held her waist, leaving her no room to escape, and effortlessly lifted her up.

Kallie squirmed a little, but soon stopped, realizing resistance was pointless. She just shot Jake a glare.

Unlike the warmth and happiness on Kallie’s side, Beth stormed off to the Fletcher estate, brimming with fury and feeling utterly aggrieved. Upon arriving home, she started hurling things around in a temper tantrum.

Seeing Beth’s outrage, the servants of the Fletcher family kept absolutely silent. They shared wary looks, none daring to step in. Eventually, the butler reached his limit and stepped forward cautiously.

“Miss Fletcher, please calm down. Was there trouble at the party? I’ll let your parents know immediately so they can sort it out for you.”

Already seething, Beth flared up even more at his words. She turned around and struck the butler sharply across the face. “Are you an idiot? Don’t you understand the formidable influence of the Nixon and Reeves families? You think I can afford to offend them?”

The butler was shocked by the slap but didn’t dare retaliate. Despite his pain, he repeatedly apologized, “I’m sorry, Miss Fletcher. I was foolish. Please forgive me.”

Beth was overwhelmed with anger, and the butler was the least of her concerns. She dismissed him with a wave of her hand. “Enough, just leave me alone.”

Her thoughts returned to the task of locating Caitlin, sparking a fresh wave of irritation. However, regardless of her anger, the task remained. After pondering the situation, the butler suddenly came up with a good idea. He cautiously approached again. “Miss Fletcher, don’t be upset. I have some good news for you. I’m sure it will brighten your mood.”

Beth narrowed her beautiful eyes, giving the butler a look of irritation. “So, what tidings do you bring that might cheer me up?”

The butler replied with an ingratiating tone, “Have you not always desired to live in Mr. Morgan’s house? But since you’re not married yet, you cannot move into the Morgan family home. However, I’ve done some digging. Mr. Morgan owns a large house in the city, close to the Group. More importantly, Mr. Morgan primarily lives there.”

Beth’s face brightened slightly upon hearing this, though she still responded with impatience. “And why is that good news? It’s not like he’s asked me to live there.”

The butler persisted, “Miss Fletcher, don’t you understand? Now that you know where Mr. Morgan actually resides, visiting him and strengthening your relationship shouldn’t be difficult.”
