Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 855:

Brysen immediately expressed concern: ‘Ms Nixon, while your intentions are good, this approach has its risks. Some might see it as just for show.

Kallie looked at Brysen with mild reprimand.noveldrama

‘If some think it’s just for show, so be it. My intention is not about fame. It’s about making a difference. The more attention we get is worth any criticism that may come.’

Having made her decision, Kallie received support from Brysen, who nodded and assured her, ‘Don’t worry, Miss Nixon. I’ll take care of the arrangements.

Kallie instructed: ‘Make sure you maximise our social media exposure. The focus during the live broadcast must be meaningful. Don’t worry about possible criticism. All money raised will be donated in full’.

With the strategy in place, they continued with the necessary preparations.

In the meantime, Jake had arrived in the region, but had not yet met Kallie.

Although he knew of Clayton’s absence, he remained vigilant.

As Jake travelled to the area, he learned of Kallie’s accomplishments, which stirred mixed feelings within him.

Before, Kallie had been too shy to assert herself, always following him around.

Now, she had become a confident person.

Jake doubted he was worthy of Kallie, feeling an urgent need to be by her side again.

Opting for discretion, Jake decided to stay with a local family instead of in a hotel.

Clayton arrived in the county late at night, planning a surprise visit for Kallie.

Upon entering the hotel, Clayton asked at the front desk if Jake had checked in.

Immune to the possible lack of information, Clayton was confident in his ability to get the details he needed.

This was the only hotel in the county where Jake would presumably stay if he were in the area.

But to Clayton’s surprise, there was no record of Jake.

Doubting the initial information, Clayton considered the possibility that Jake had an alternative plan, given his cunning.

He instructed his men to keep an eye on Kallie and report to him any suspicious persons who approached her.

He warned that any attempt to approach Kallie without his approval would result in immediate dismissal.

The intimidated bodyguards confirmed his orders.

After returning to her room, Kallie made a video call to her three children.

Elma, now the most talkative, engaged in an animated conversation with Kallie.

During the call, Elma’s mood suddenly changed to one of discontent.

‘Mom, I’m not happy,’ Elma said.

Concerned, Kallie asked, ‘What’s wrong, are you feeling bad?’

Elma, visibly upset, shook her head in frustration.

Sophie, next to Elma, clarified, ‘Elma’s class has an event this week that requires family participation.

Calvin and I will be attending. We knew you were busy, so Elma didn’t mention it to you.

She had intended to invite Mr. Morgan, but he wasn’t available. That’s why she’s upset.

Sophie added, ‘It’s okay, she’ll feel better once we comfort her.’

Elma, resting her chin on her hands, commented, ‘Mommy, you’re busy.’

‘Clayton is busy too.

Everyone seems to be too busy.’
