Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1515:

While talking, Linsey turned and pulled a beautiful bag from the shelf. “Here, take this as a gift for making me your godmother. I wish I had known earlier. I would have gotten you something bigger.”

Kallie was aware of how expensive the bag was and quickly responded, “There’s no need for gifts. Elma is already thrilled just having you as her godmother, so please don’t give her anything.”

Kallie knew the bag was worth at least a million dollars. There really was no reason for Linsey to give Elma such an extravagant gift. Elma, wise beyond her years, understood the gesture but felt that Linsey’s affection was enough.

She shook her head and firmly declined. “Linsey, I just like you. Giving gifts makes it less special.”noveldrama

Linsey was momentarily at a loss for words. “You sound just like your mom. I offered this bag to you because it’s one I love, not for any other reason. Rejecting it also makes our relationship feel less special.”

After a brief pause, Elma smiled and agreed, running over to Kallie with the bag. “Mom, look how beautiful the bag Linsey gave me is.”

Kallie smiled and patted Elma’s head. She then joked, “Well, she never gave me anything quite like this.”

Pretending to be offended, Linsey quickly approached Kallie and wrapped an arm around her neck. “What are you talking about? Weren’t the bags I gave you enough?”

Their laughter soon filled the room as they joked around.

Just then, the sound of an ambulance echoed from downstairs.

Curious, all three moved to the window to look down.

Elma, too small to peer out the window, grew restless. Linsey quickly lifted her up.

From their high vantage point with a panoramic window, the details below were hard to make out. They could only see a crowd gathered, and then the ambulance pulling in.

Linsey clicked her tongue. “People these days are ridiculous. If it truly is about an affair, why target the woman? Shouldn’t the man be the one held accountable?”

Kallie nodded in agreement. Even if the woman involved with the man was kicked out of the picture, if the man wasn’t committed, he’d simply find other mistresses. It was better to end things than to continue suffering in a broken relationship.

Without realizing it, Kallie had voiced her thoughts aloud.

Linsey gave her a knowing look and teased, “Better keep that from Jake, or he might start worrying there’s trouble in your marriage. Imagine how upset that would make him.”

Everyone knew how devoted Jake was to Kallie. It was well-known among their friends. He had even gone as far as to replace all his female assistants and secretaries with males. Whenever there were women at gatherings, he’d delegate the interactions to his assistant, ensuring he wouldn’t meet any women.

Kallie merely smiled at what Linsey had said. “These things don’t mean much, but I feel he will remain loyal to me, and that’s enough.”
