Unspoken Hearts: My Neglected Mute Wife’s Escape

Chapter 1470:

Calvin had spent countless hours competing in various tournaments, accumulating awards like trophies on a mantelpiece. Every victory brought him one step closer to his ultimate goal: earning a recommendation.noveldrama

Although he had already secured a spot at the most prestigious middle school in Burmoos, he was still too young to attend. Fortunately, attending classes in person wasn’t a requirement. Instead, he spent his days rubbing elbows with elite hackers, attending high-stakes conferences, and competing in intense tournaments.

Yet, despite his successes, Calvin couldn’t shake the gnawing remorse that followed him like a shadow. If only he had unlocked Lacey’s phone sooner, Kallie and Jake might have uncovered Clayton’s sinister plots earlier. He constantly felt that he needed to grow stronger to protect his family and the ones he cared about the most.

Calvin sat beside Elma, and with a flick of his wrist—almost like performing a magician’s trick—he produced a small gift box.

Elma’s eyes lit up, her face brightening like a child on Christmas morning. Her fingers tightened around his arm as she beamed. “Calvin! How did you know I wanted this? It’s like you read my mind!”

Calvin smiled indulgently. “We’re twins. Of course, I know what you like. We share a twin connection.”

Elma considered his words for a moment, feeling that it made sense. Then, with a mischievous glint in her eye, she nudged him playfully. “But you just told me it’s wrong to want to grow up too fast. We’re the same age, I just happen to look younger than you.”

Elma looked about three years younger than Calvin and was shorter than most of her peers. But growing up surrounded by love, she never viewed it as a shortcoming.

The Reeves and Nixon families subtly avoided mentioning that Elma appeared younger than her actual age. They treated her the same way they treated Calvin, fearing that mentioning it might bring up painful memories.

But Elma found their cautiousness unnecessary. She had grown up surrounded by warmth and love, and those memories no longer had the power to haunt her. The past was behind her, and she was determined to keep moving forward.

Suddenly, a thought struck Elma. She nudged Calvin with her elbow and asked, “Calvin, do you have plans tonight? Mom and Dad will be back soon with Jeanette.”

Sophie had an exam today, but she would be home later. “How about we throw a welcome party for Jeanette?” Elma suggested, her expression brimming with enthusiasm. Calvin couldn’t resist her excitement. He raised an eyebrow and asked, “You seem pretty fond of Jeanette. Why is that? When Caitlin arrived, we didn’t throw her a welcome party. So, do you like Jeanette more than Caitlin?”

Elma rolled her eyes. “Calvin, why ask such a pointless question? Of course, I like them both. But Jeanette’s situation is different. She’s been through a lot, and it’s been terrifying for her. She must have emotional scars, and she’s still just a child. Adjusting isn’t easy for her. A welcome party might help her feel more at home.”

A small smile played on Calvin’s lips as he reached out and tousled Elma’s hair. “You say she’s a kid, but you’re just as much one yourself. Don’t wear yourself out. I’ll stick around tonight and help with the party, okay?”

“Yay!” Elma’s face lit up with joy.
