"ow! ow!" Whitey owing sounded in Calista’s ears as she was in the middle of gossiping with Susan.
Hearing her son’s cries, she looked in the direction where the owing was coming from and when she saw the kitten, a smile blossod on her face.
"Dear, what are you doing here?" she dotingly asked as she opened her arms for the small thing.
Susan watched this with a helpless smile on her face. It was only Calista who spoiled her pet like this. Most cats she knew were all wandering around and weren’t treated like ancestors, and yet there was one, a cat that never grew up.
How long had it been since Whitey was like that?
Was he a breed that didn’t like growing up?
Consud with such a question, Calista happily hugged her child and ruffled its fur while it continued to ow.
The more it owed though, the more that smile seed to vanish from her face, especially when her gaze suddenly shifted towards the road which people who go to Silverbroke town use.
With such a sudden shift in mood, Hayes, who had been keeping an eye on Calista from a distance, knew that sothing was wrong and suddenly he was filled with anxiety.
Completely disregarding the fact that he wasn’t supposed to disturb the two ladies, his feet hurried to where they were sitting, anxiety gripping him.
At the sa ti, he couldn’t help but look in the direction where she was facing.
Carriages were coming.
Could they be his?
But that was impossible. It would take ti for his family to send everything that he needed. At least they should be here in a week or so if he wasn’t mistaken.
It wasn’t ti for the custors to buy food, which ant that they weren’t custors.
Were they passing by?
Even if they were passing by, why did she look like that?
Those questions bothered him until he was standing behind her, his hands on her shoulders, unconsciously massaging them the way she liked it.
Whitey, who was on Calista’s lap, looked at Hayes before lowering his head as if his presence wasn’t a bother.
Seeing himself getting treated like a nonexistent person, Hayes wanted to shake the kitten and ask it what was wrong with him. However, he didn’t dare underestimate this kitten.
In the few days he had been here, he had noticed that the kitten was probably the most dangerous existence he had co across in his life, and it wasn’t to be underestimated.
As long as it didn’t harm Calista, he would turn a blind eye.
As Hayes was thinking like that, suddenly Susan asked, "Cali, is sothing wrong?" the sa question he was dying to ask ever since he dashed to their side.
Calista’s focus was currently on the road with all her senses focusing on the number of carriages currently coming her way.
Her mind kept ringing on what she had just heard from Whitey, and honestly, if that was true, she was at a loss for how to react.
Susan’s question ca at the right ti, as it jolted her back to reality, making her understand the kind of situation that she was about to face as the carriages were now in view, coming towards him in full force.
’You really have guts, Orson!’ she sinisterly thought, as her eyes narrowed murderously at the thought of that bastard returning here.
If he had left, why return?
Was he trying to test her patience?
And why would he bring more people with him?
"Hah! Susan, have you ever seen shaless people before?" thinking about how soone could have thicker skin than her, Calista asked Susan slyly as she turned to look at the other.
Susan’s brows rose in surprise, wondering why Calista would ask such a question.
Wasn’t Calista the most shaless person she had known in her life? Hayes, who didn’t care about the boundaries between n and won, was busy massaging Calista right now. Him and Calista, weren’t they the most shaless people she knew?
However, she didn’t dare say this outright. Calista would have her head and when the other is angry, it won’t end well. She didn’t want to suffer the wrath of a pregnant woman who was supported by so many people, including her parents.
So, when she replied, her answer didn’t point to anyone. "Um. I have. Did you find more people when you were in Liresa City?" a bit curious again as to what her friend ant by her question.
Calista chuckled lightly as she looked at Susan, who was glossing over the question but still found the answer pleasing. At least she didn’t dare to point at her this ti.
"Um, I just found them!" Calista responded as she turned her head to face the road again, "And they are heading towards us right now!" not minding to reveal this matter at all.
When Susan heard that, she looked in that direction as well, wondering how Calista knew that there were shaless people there.
Could it be that she recognized the carriages or horses from a distance?
Was her eyesight that good?
anwhile, on Hayes’s side, his eyes narrowed murderously as his mind geared differently than Susan’s.
What kind of people would make Calista react like that?
Why were they shaless to the extent of her pointing it out now without seeing them?
Just who exactly were they?
When he was in the middle of thinking like that, Calista patted his hand as she ordered, "Help stand up. I can’t stand the people coming!" her tone was very flat and laced with disdain for whoever was coming.
When that was said, Hayes didn’t hesitate but did as she ordered. Susan also stood on her feet, as her curious gaze continued to look at the carriages, which were almost where they were.
"Are you sure that you don’t want to et them?" seeing the carriages approaching, Hayes asked Calista.
Calista nodded her head firmly as her hands continued to hold Whitey, who was now hissing, as he looked at the carriages.
Hayes hearing that, his eyes slanted as an unknown glint flashed across his eyes.
"Then I will not let you et them!" he said, his tone filled with promise and Calista, hearing that, smiled at Hayes gratefully.
"Thank you!"
Hayes waved his hand as he smiled dotingly at her. "I will not allow anyone who makes my sister uncomfortable to make it difficult for you!"
Calista smiled foolishly at Hayes; her smile so bright it made his heart race wildly.
’Badum. Badum. Badum.’
"Are you not going to ask who is in that carriage?"
