Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1111:

Kallie sighed softly, a hint of concern in her voice.

“What are you so busy with? You’ve skipped dinner and been in the office all this time.” Kallie got all the details from the company’s assistant. Though she had lost her memories, she didn’t want the entire burden to rest solely on her son. She had spent the past few days reacquainting herself with the company, with Jake’s guidance.

Perhaps due to her muscle memory, even without her full memories, she handled things with ease and skill over the past few days. She started communicating with the company’s assistants, claiming she had been unwell recently.

The company staff were unaware of Kallie’s memory loss. Jake had deliberately kept her condition a secret to prevent any exploitation. Even the assistants who worked closely with Kallie hadn’t noticed anything unusual. They believed Kallie was recovering from a serious illness and was unable to handle all of her previous responsibilities.

Kallie had set one strict rule upon resuming her responsibilities—the assistant was to inform her immediately if Calvin pushed himself too hard. For instance, he couldn’t work late past midnight.

After the competition, Calvin had spent too much time in his office.

Kallie had no intention of keeping a close watch on Calvin, but after learning about his skipping meals, she couldn’t help but feel worried and angry about his neglecting his health.

With this in mind, Kallie spoke in a firmer tone.

“Even if you’re passionate about something, you need to rest. If this continues, I won’t let you stay at the Nixon Group anymore.”

Calvin chuckled and replied, “Alright. I won’t do it again. I’ll grab dinner and head to bed right after. Don’t be upset.”noveldrama

As Calvin repeated his assurances, a softness crept into Kallie’s previously guarded expression.

Driven by a surge of curiosity, Kallie asked, her voice tinged with intrigue, “What’s been capturing your attention? I’m curious about what has you so captivated.”

Calvin glanced at the data on his computer screen and replied with a bashful shrug, “Ah, just messing around with some gadgets. How was your trip here? Everything smooth?”

Kallie could feel there was something Calvin wasn’t sharing, his evasiveness almost palpable in the air. Yet, she chose to let it be. Children had their own little secrets, and she respected that sacred boundary. Though her curiosity remained, she believed firmly in giving him his space. Unless it ventured into worrisome territory, there was no harm in him keeping some things to himself.

Deciding to redirect their conversation, Kallie shifted her focus. By this point, Kallie and Jake had just arrived at a secluded mountain retreat, the scenery around them breathtakingly serene and vibrant. Elma, not often a visitor to such tranquil settings, seemed uplifted, her eyes wide with wonder as she took in her surroundings from Jake’s secure embrace.

Kallie switched on the camera, aiming it toward Elma so Calvin could see her.

Calvin couldn’t help but mirror Elma’s glowing smile, his stern demeanor giving way to gentle warmth.

However, as Kallie panned the camera, it accidentally caught Lacey in the frame. Positioned a little ways off, Lacey was unaware she was captured on the screen. Her gaze, sharp and unwavering, was locked on Kallie and Jake, a stark contrast to the warmth of the scene before her.

Jake and Kallie, their backs to Lacey, remained oblivious to the chill of Lacey’s intense scrutiny.
