Chapter 170 An Understatement

Naturally, he was curious about what Calista had been through. Unfortunately, he usually didn’t dare to ask, always feeling that the answer might not be favorable to him.

Kallum moved closer, and to his surprise, he noticed that Calista seemed to blush. She didn’t dare to look at him, and even the palm of her hand that he was holding started to sweat.
