Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1083:

After breakfast, the children urged Kallie to play. Kallie was willing but lacked the energy. Within half an hour, she was completely drained.

“Can we play another time? I need to rest,” Kallie said, breathless from fatigue. Her exhaustion wasn’t due to laziness or a reluctance to move. Her body simply ached from her last night’s intimacy with Jake, and maintaining activity for even thirty minutes was a feat.

Elma, bursting with energy, pouted and said, “But Mommy, it’s such a beautiful day. Can’t we stay out a bit longer?”

Kallie could barely stand. She leaned to one side, gesturing her inability to continue.

Kallie’s heart sank at Elma’s crestfallen expression. She quickly found herself inwardly blaming Jake. Blaming his lack of restraint the previous night, she believed it was why she felt so drained today.

Meanwhile, Jake felt a tickle in his nose as he sat in his office. He ignored it, concentrating on his tasks. Completing them faster meant he could join his family sooner.

This thought brought a slight grin to Jake’s face. Previously, he viewed his corporate responsibilities merely as hurdles to his rest and empire-building, ensuring his unchallenged authority. Now, his perspective had shifted. He recognized that his family awaited his return. This unusual feeling fueled his drive significantly.

Sophie, puzzled by Kallie’s need for rest, still empathized with her.

Sophie gently took Elma aside and explained, “Elma, our parents are adults. They have other responsibilities, unlike us with our ample free time. We should try to understand our mommy.”

Elma responded with a pout, “I know.”

Sophie offered a suggestion.

“Why don’t we watch a movie later? We haven’t tried the home cinema yet. How about that animated movie you wanted to see?”

Children were easily delighted, and Sophie quickly lifted Elma’s spirits.noveldrama

Kallie, pleased by this, gently pinched Sophie’s cheek. However, when Kallie attempted to pinch Calvin’s cheek, he avoided her.

Calvin was more aware now and felt somewhat embarrassed.

Kallie chuckled but respected his feelings.

They decided to go to the home cinema.

Sophie was happy to spend time with Elma and had no reservations.

Calvin simply wanted to be with his family, despite his disinterest in animated films.

Elma was truly content, marking it as her happiest day in recent months.

Yet, Elma felt a lingering sadness because she was inexplicably sleepy. She wondered why she was always so tired but told herself she must stay awake. Falling asleep meant she wouldn’t get to play with her mommy. Moreover, her daddy had promised to join them after finishing his work. She needed to persevere. Elma discreetly pinched herself to fight off sleep. In the darkness of the home cinema, this small act went unnoticed. Once they were seated in the home cinema, the movie started.
