Chapter 34
As soon as Lorraine recovered from the shock, her blood began to boil. Her face twisted in a way that was almost unrecognizable. Her hear pounded with the anger and frustration she felt toward the man standing in front of her.
“Have you lost your mind, Callisto?” she yelled, taking a few large steps to push him away. “What were you even doing here?”
After disappearing for a few days, he had just shown up at her house to create a scene!!
Callisto didn’t react to her anger. Even though he couldn’t manage a smile, he extended the flowers and chocolates. “It was our anniversary, have you forgotten?”
Lorraine’s lips pressed together into a thin line. “We’re long over. What exactly were you celebrating?
She wanted to scream at him because, despite his memory loss, he had the wrong date for their anniversary. It was never this month in the first place! And if she remembered correctly. Callisto always forgot these kinds of events. What was the point of him doing this now!
“Insanity.” Wayne’s voice came from behind Lorraine
When Callisto saw the man behind her, his eyes widened. Anger flashed across his face as he looked at Lorraine, full of questions. “What was he doing here?! Why were you two in the same house?!”

a sarcastic laugh. “What’s it to you. You had no business here, Callisto. So if you could, please
“Lorraine,” Callisto insisted. He tried to step inside, but Lorraine and Mona blocked his way.
“Did you want me t
me to call the police, huh” Lorraine asked, her voice trembling with anger.
“Why were you driving me away?” Callisto asked, confused.
Mona sneered at him. “Obviously, she was mad at you! If I were you, Callisto, instead of causing trouble here, why didn’t you go to the hospital and get your memory back!”
“I’m not here to cause trouble!” he defended himself, looking at Lorraine with a pleading expression. “Didn’t you say the last time we talked that you’d let me make it up to you and our kids?”
“Hule” Lorraine was taken aback and rolled her eyes. “I never said that, Callisto, there was nothing you could do to make it up to me. As for the twins, I’ll let them judge you for themselves. That was the point of our conversations last time”
“Then” Callisto quickly thought. “Could I see the twins at least? Could I come in and bond with them for at least an hour!”
to rest”
“It’s late, Lorraine countered. The kids were about to have dinner, so come back another day. They just got out of the hospital and need to re Callisto persisted. “Could I join you for dinner, then I’ll leave right after. We just moved into the house next door, so it’ll be easy for me to go
home.”
“What?” Lorraine was shocked, not just by his audacity to invite himself to dinner, but by the news that th just say
they had moved next door. “What did you
With a proud smile, Callisto pointed to the house next door. “We’re now living there. The previous occupants moved out, so we bought it.” Lorraine and Mona were both stunned, as was Wayne, who had overheard the conversation.
It never crossed Lorraine’s mind that Callisto would move so close to them. She couldn’t help but think that he hadn’t shown up for days because he was preparing to move and find a way to position himself in their neighborhood. This was exactly his way of getting what he wanted, regardless of inconveniencing others
“What Mona’s jaw almost dropped. An elderly couple, close friends of hers for years, had lived there. She couldn’t believe they would move out so studdenly without any warning! She glared at Callisto. “You! What did you do to make them move out!!”
Callisto frowned. “Nothing” In reality he had pressured them to move by offering a large sum of money and a new house in Paris, their dream destination. Of course, he wouldn’t admit that in front of Lorraine and let her know how desperate he had become
You think I’m going to believe that, you bastard!” Mona said angrily.
“Believe it or not, I don’t care. The only reason I moved here was so I could be close to my family if they needed my help, Callisto said seriously. Mora sneered “Family! If you were talking about your

“I had no other family than Lorraine,” he said, his voice deepening to show how serious he was.
Upon hearing this, the emotion drained from Lorraine’s face. “It seemed you didn’t just lose your memory, but also your intelligence and ability ro understand the current situation, Callisto, she insulted him. ‘I was not your family, and we would never be a family again. What didn’t you understand about that!”
“Even when you said that my mind and heart said otherwise, he said, lowering the flowers to look at Lorraine earnestly, “Lorraine, I wanted to have rights to the twins as their biological father, whether you liked it or not, even if they’re pushing me away. If you didn’t grant me those rights, then I’m afraid we’d have to see each other in court, which would only add to your stress when you’re already dealing with Lucio’s health. Let’s not argue about this and just compromise, shouldn’t we?”
Because of what Callisto said, Lorraine thought long and hard without taking her eyes off him. She knew exactly why he said this. He wanted to use the twins as a way to not only win them over but also to get close to her and hope for a reconciliation
A comer of Lorraine’s lips lifted, but her eyes darkened. “Well, good luck with that:
It wasn’t like he could tame her stubborn twins. Her children were very headstrong, and if there was something they disliked, it was unlikely they would ever like it. Especially since they knew what happened in the past? Callisto might have thought that her twins were naive and easy to manipulate because they were still young. But then again, Callisto was never good with kids to begin with for his plans to work out. “Fine” Lorraine sighed. “I could
