Chapter 255:

Despite Ewing’s kind demeanor, Kallie remained cautious, wary of trusting anyone too hastily in her vulnerable state. Walking in, Ewing ensured Kallie was comfortably settled in her room and arranged for a chef and a couple of servants to attend to her needs.

Throughout their interactions, Ewing’s gaze often drifted to Kallie’s belly, hinting at unspoken thoughts he hesitated to voice. Kallie, perceptive and astute, could almost read the concern in Ewing’s eyes. She understood that others might share his unspoken thoughts, feeling pity for her situation. To most, her husband’s heart lay elsewhere, even though she was pregnant and her well-being was not guaranteed.

Realizing the discomfort his scrutiny might cause, Ewing eventually averted his gaze, his demeanor shifting to one of awkwardness.

Kallie didn’t feel offended, though. She took out her phone and carefully typed a message, her demeanor calm and unperturbed. “Don’t worry. I’ve gotten used to it. After all, you’re not the first one to think that way.”

Kallie’s message only deepened Ewing’s sense of guilt. His voice softened as he replied, “Take care of yourself and consider this place your home. If you need anything, just let me know. Don’t keep it to yourself, okay? If possible, I hope you can visit Tyrone from time to time. He’s very fond of you. You’re his granddaughter.”

Kallie couldn’t ignore the earnestness in Ewing’s hopeful look. Her response was thoughtful, albeit tinged with an undercurrent of reluctance. “I doubt I’m the one you have been looking for, but I appreciate what you did for me today. I’ll visit Tyrone more often whenever I’m available. I hope you find your cousin soon.”

Ewing shook his head gently. “I guess you have a clear answer whether we’re related. I understand the Nixon family has failed you and your mother. If you choose not to forgive us, I won’t press you. However, Tyrone isn’t getting any younger, and it will mean a lot if you spend some time with him. He’s not to blame for past grievances.”
