Her Rebirth of Retribution

Chapter 209 Separate Rooms

Only then did Nevio flash a satisfied smile. "Good girl. You don't have to do a thing. Tonight, I'll have them stay here to rest. When the time comes, I'll arrange everything for you."

As he spoke, he turned to gaze upon his granddaughter's face. It was as if he could see through her, to the beloved wife he had lost. Of all his descendants, only Seraphina bore the greatest resemblance to his late wife.

"You're breathtakingly beautiful, so only the most outstanding man in the world can be your husband.

Nightfall arrived, and the banquet went off without a hitch, no errors or mishaps in sight. The only issue that arose was the matter of accommodations for the night.

When at Fairchild Manor, Calista and Kallum shared a room. Even in Jeahron, when Kallum insisted on rooming with Calista, no one dared to object.

Quintus mentally bemoaned, No way! I don't want to spend the night with Mr. Kallum!
