Chapter 1324:

Lately, Calvert had been acting strangely, always deep in thought and mumbling to himself. Whenever Florrie asked about his wellbeing, he reassured her that he was fine. But Florrie suspected otherwise, so she investigated and discovered that Calvert had secretly entered Kallie’s room one night. Since there was no one watching the door, the specifics of what had happened remained unknown. All they knew was that the next day, after leaving Kallie’s room, Calvert seemed to avoid her.

Florrie couldn’t help but feel proud of her own cunning. She pondered whether it was time to increase her efforts.
