Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1459:

Jake’s response was a brutal punch, sending shockwaves through the conference room.

Jake had a reputation for his cold, no-nonsense demeanor. Despite his tough exterior, he had never been the one to strike first. But this was the first time he had initiated an attack.

Benjamin staggered back, clutching his face, stunned beyond words.

Kallie wasn’t surprised by Jake’s appearance, knowing his assistant had likely informed him. She didn’t even glance at Jake and simply let out a soft huff before returning to her seat silently.noveldrama

Kallie’s disregard for Jake sent another wave of shock through the room. It was clear to everyone that Jake was already in a foul mood.

Jake strode over to Kallie, his expression stern. Everyone expected him to reprimand her.

Even Benjamin, still clutching his face, looked hopeful, momentarily forgetting his pain as he tried to stir the pot. “Mr. Reeves, I understand why you’re upset. No man could accept his woman being involved with another man. Everyone has witnessed the unmistakable closeness between your wife and your assistant. He’s even stolen your plans for her.”

Benjamin had a “clever” plan in mind. Even if Kallie was indeed the one who had drafted the plans, no man would openly admit to being outdone by their wife. He doubted Jake would be an exception. Besides, he had given Jake an easy way out, which strengthened his belief that Jake would echo his claim instead of giving credit to Kallie. Benjamin had already mapped out his next move. He knew plenty of remarkable women and was aware that Jake never lacked admirers. Even though Kallie had given Jake three beautiful children, she couldn’t rival younger women. He was certain any man would make the decision aligned with his plan.

Benjamin eagerly anticipated a blowout between Jake and Kallie, convinced Jake would lose his temper and kick her out.

But to his astonishment, Jake dropped to one knee before Kallie, gazing up at her with neither anger nor blame, but with quiet caution.

“Kallie,” Jake said, taking her hand, his expression uncharacteristically vulnerable, like a puppy afraid of being left behind. “Please don’t get upset. It was my fault. See? I came back as soon as I could. Why didn’t you answer my calls or reply to my messages? Was I bothering you? Please, don’t ignore me.”

The room fell silent as everyone gasped in shock. Jake seemed like a completely different person. They could hardly believe Jake knelt on one knee before a woman, humbly pleading for forgiveness. And worse, this was happening right after she had been accused of cheating on him.

Kallie smirked and gently lifted Jake’s chin with her finger.

Jake didn’t mind the teasing gesture. His eyes shone brighter as he gazed up at Kallie.

Kallie spoke casually, “But someone just said I cheated on you with your assistant. Aren’t you mad?”

Jake’s brow furrowed slightly before he turned a cold gaze on Benjamin, whose face had turned pale.
