Chapter 168 Her True Self

“Dear Callie, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time,” he said.

Calista furrowed her brows. Not because she was overthinking things, but because she genuinely felt that Kallum’s choice of words was odd.

-Didn’t you mention throwing a celebration for me? Why is it just you?”

Kallum subtly raised an eyebrow, his deep purple eyes concealing a hint of danger, yet his smile didn’t falter in the slightest. “Who else were you hoping to see?”

Calista took a half step back, attempting to maintain her composure as she said, “Ambrose also mentioned. he wanted to congratulate me. Maybe”

“Do you want to invite him along?”

Calista let out an almost imperceptible sigh. She then heard Kallum say in a soft voice, “I just dislike the way Jarrett looks at you, that’s all.”

Ironically, those two brothers were close. Whenever Ambrose was around, Jarrett was sure to be there as well.
