Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1549:

What Caitlin didn’t expect was to find Kallie there.

Kallie and Linsey were comfortably seated at a table, having drinks and chatting animatedly.

Kallie and Linsey hadn’t gone to the bar to have fun, but to catch up after not seeing each other for a long time.noveldrama

At first, Jake hesitated, fearing that they might be in danger if they left. However, he finally agreed when Kallie assured him that the bodyguards would accompany them.

As a result, several serious-looking bodyguards stood near Kallie and Linsey’s seats.

Several men, attracted by Kallie and Linsey’s beauty and obvious wealth, considered approaching them to strike up a conversation. However, upon seeing the intimidating bodyguards nearby, the men quickly abandoned their plans to approach them. Linsey noticed and shot Kallie a disapproving look. “These bodyguards were Jake’s idea, weren’t they?”

Kallie smiled awkwardly. She had already realized that Jake wasn’t going to let her go out to the bar and have fun so easily. She had even questioned his unexpected consent. Now it all made sense. He knew that saying no outright would only push her to defy him, so he opted for a compromise where they could both make concessions.

Linsey let out a dramatic sigh. “Well, staying with you tonight means I can kiss any chance of meeting someone new goodbye.”

Kallie paused thoughtfully, then said quietly, “Should I ask the bodyguards to leave? It’s okay. I’ll deal with Jake later.”

Linsey shook her head quickly. “No. Remember what happened last time? I’m still scared. Besides, we’re in a foreign country. It’s smarter to be safe.”

Kallie nodded, and the two abandoned the idea. After all, their main goal for the night was simply to relax.

Across the room, Caitlin blinked in surprise. She watched Kallie and Linsey for a few moments, then realized she was actually looking at them.

Seeing them safe and enjoying themselves, while she was struggling after losing contact with Clayton, made Caitlin feel a wave of resentment. She couldn’t stand it.

Caitlin’s resentful gaze caught Kallie’s attention.

Kallie looked up and met Caitlin’s eyes.

Caitlin, taken by surprise, felt momentarily nervous, but quickly adopted an indifferent attitude.

Linsey noticed that Kallie was distracted and was about to ask her what she was looking at. When she followed Kallie’s gaze, she saw Caitlin. Anger immediately welled up inside her.

Linsey stood up, ready to confront Caitlin, but Kallie quickly reached out and gently held her arm to stop her. “Why bother? Just look at her. She’s obviously having a hard time.”

With that, Linsey paused to observe Caitlin more closely.

Looking closer, Linsey realized that despite her flawless makeup, Caitlin was clearly distressed. Her eyes were puffy and red, indicating that she had spent many hours crying. Feeling her anger dissipate, Linsey returned to her seat.
