Chapter 471 Used To Being Aloof
“Oh, right!”
Wanda touched her face, hastily got out of bed, and went to wash up. Calista peeled off her Bathrobe, revealing the slip dress she wore beneath. Then, the sound of running water and Wanda’s voice echoed from the bathroom.
“Callie, why don’t you stay with me for the next few days? I’ll do my best to bring Kallum to heel soon! I’ll discuss this with Old Mr. Yancey tomorrow….” Her voice trailed off toward the end, clearly lost in her own thoughts.
Suddenly, Calista became a bit curious about what kind of expression Kallum would have when he finally discovered the truth. With this thought, she was definitely going to keep her lips sealed!
After freshening up. Wanda turned to Calista and said, “I’m so thrilled you’re sleeping with me tonight! I’ve wanted to share a bed with you for a long time!”
“Why?” Calista climbed into bed, staring blankly at her. The warm light softened her expression, her delicate features and twinkling eyes stirring a primal desire within Wanda.
She couldn’t help but praise her own foresight. “I must say, my judgment is impeccable! I knew from when
were little that you’d grow up to be a stunner!”
you
She hopped onto the bed, turning to look at Calista with a grin. “Back then, I thought to myself, I can’t give birth to such a beautiful child, but I have a son! I can have my son bring you home, then you would be mine!
Warmth spread through Calista’s heart. It was undeniable that Wanda had showered her with tenderness – she just hadn’t known how to appreciate it back then. That was why she valued it immensely now.
“I’m willing to be your child.”
Calista also lay on her side, looking at her. Her lips curled up in a smile as she moved closer and said, “When I was a kid, I used to wish… if only I were your real daughter…”
The depth of her words stirred a pang of sympathy in Wanda’s heart. Yet, she was also pleased to hear Calista have such thoughts. Reaching out, she gently patted her head. “If you were my own child, Kallum would undoubtedly give me a hard time! I can tell he loves you dearly. Of course, I love you too.”
During her youth, Wanda had spent her time abroad, so she was quite forthright when it came to expressing her feelings. On the other hand, Calista was much more reserved. Upon hearing the older woman speak in such a manner, she shyly lowered her head and moved closer to her.
“The greatest gift my mother ever gave me was becoming your friend.”
Wanda playfully said, “Oh dear, if/Kallum hears this, he’ll definitely be jealous.”
Speak of the devil. Calista’s phone/which was placed on the bedside table, began to ring at that moment. Calista answered, and the voice of Kallum came through from the other end.
“Callie, is Mom feeling any better?”
With a sneaky chuckle, Calista glanced at the nervous Wanda before nodding her head. “Yes, she’s much

Kallum seemed to let out a sigh of relief. Following that, he let out a tortured groan, turned around, and said in a hoarse whisper, “What should I do? I think I’m sick…”
“Oh? What illness?”
“I’m lovesick. It feels like I’m dying… Kallum responded mournfully.
His body was wracked with unbearable discomfort, yet it was not like he could compete with his own sick mother for Calista’s attention. It was infuriating. Why couldn’t Shaun be a woman?
Calista pursed her lips and chuckled. “Who asked you to add something extra to the milk?”
This time, Kallum told her very seriously, “No, it has nothing to do with the milk. It doesn’t matter whether I drink it or not, because when it comes to you, I’m constantly overwhelmed with desire, and it’s never satisfied.”
Calista found her cars quietly burning as she listened.
Wanda really wanted to know what Kallum had said, but she–felt too embarrassed to ask. All she could do was try her best to eavesdrop.
“Hurry up and get some sleep,” Calista suggested, feeling the need to end their conversation. She felt ant odd shift within herself, as if something was stirring.
“I can’t sleep… Kallum muttered. His eyes suddenly brightened as he whispered a proposition, “Once Mom is asleep… would you come and keep me company? Just for a couple of hours… even an hour and a half would do!”
Oh…
There was no denying Calista found herself tempted by his words.
Fearing her refusal, Kallum quickly interjected, “Ah, it’s settled then! Sneak over when the situation allows! I’ll be waiting for you all night long!”
After speaking, he quickly hung up the phone.
“What was it? What did Kallum say?” Wanda asked with curiosity
Calista curved her lips into a smile. “He’s just concerned about your health. Don’t worry and go to sleep!”
Kallum waited with great anticipation
He had made up his mind. If Calista were to come, he would have Quintus guard his mother’s door. At any sign of movement, Quintus would immediately notify him. There was no way this could go wrong. The idea was indeed appealing; the only crucial factor was whether or not Calista would show up…
To be honest, it was a mystery. Although the half cup of milk had some influence, and Calista had a special place for him in her heart, she was used to being aloof. The chances of her taking the initiative were probably less than ten percent…
Thus, while Kallum was tossing and turning in discomfort, he was also praying fervently, begging for her to come!
As Kallum thought. Calista initially had no plans of going over. She wasn’t someone incapable of being

ruthless, otherwise, she wouldn’t have tied up Kallum overnight.
She had barely settled into bed when her phone vibrated. Glancing over at Wanda, she noticed that the older woman was already drifting off, looking somewhat worn out. Not wanting to disturb her, she silenced her phone before checking the new message. As expected, it was from Kallum.
Kallum: Callie, my dear, please just sneak away! Just for an hour and a half, or even an hour will do! Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
