Chapter 38
“Good job carrying the stuff back into the house. You can go home now. Lorraine said coldly to Callum.
Sweat trickled from his forehead down to his neck, but despite being tired, he wiped himself with the ends of his black polo sleeves, will managing
to smile.
“Can I stay for dinner?” He tried his lack one last time, but Lorraine’s blank stares told him it was over. “Okay, see you next Friday, Saturday, and Sunday then!”
“Tak Lorraine scoffed, giving him a disdainful look he

With his view obunacted, he sighed deeply. Although he found those kids cute ways of driving him away endearing, they effectively denied him any clunce to be with Lomaine and the twins.
They weren’t easily manipulated like other children he knew. The twins had minds of their own and were not easily influenced. They had a strong bond with Lorraine, making Callisto’s attempts even more challenging.
If the twins were like other kids, he could have easily won them over with a few sweet words, showing he wasn’t a bad guy, and giving them toys. Lorraine, deeply attached to them, would have had no choice but to give in eventually,
“This is going to be tougher than I thought, he muttered to himself, walking away.
When he arrived home, he found Gideon watching a football game in the living room. Gideon noticed him immediately, grinning up at him.
“How’d it go?” he asked. “You look quite happy, but you’re not totally showing it. Do Lorraine and her twins still detest you?”
“Our twins” he corrected, collapsing onto the couch next to Cideon. Of course, it’s not easy. You know how angry Lorraine is with me right now, and our kids feel the same
Gideon shrugged. “So what’s for dinner? I’m tired of pizza and burgers. He a good wife and cook me something that won’t kill me”
Callisto grimaced. “I’m your boss?” He threw a pillow at him. Gideon had grown increasingly bold over time, showing almost no respect for him, unlike before when he felt inferior despite their close friendship.
Tm just kidding. Gideon laughed, shaking his head. “It’s just that living with you in a typical American house makes me imagine my daily life with
my future wife”
“What the hell” Callisto said in disgust, sighing as he stood up. “Go order something edible online while I take a shower.”
“Yes, surt” Gideon lazily grabbed his phone, fiddling with it as Callisto headed upstairs to shower.
Meanwhile, Amanda and Henry’s arguments we
were becoming more frequent, and it was spreading throughout the mansion.
The maids were extremely cautious, fearing they might become the target of Amanda’s wrath again. Several maids had already been fired, humiliated, and severely insulted because of her anger towards her husband. So whenever they saw Amanda and Henry cross paths, they quickly made themselves scarce.
“What, Henry!! Do you want your daughter to go crazy!! She’s not eating. She won’t even get out of bed because she’s missing Callisto! If this continues, you might find her dead next time! Amanda insisted, yelling at Henry as he tried to leave the mansion.
“Amanda… Henry sighed tiredly, rubbing his temples.
But Amanda didn’t relent. “You know Amber! You know she can be suicidal! Who knows what she might do to herself! I’m doing everything to calm her down, but even she’s pushing me away! You know Callisto is the only one she needs right now!”
“Please, enough” Henry’s patience was wearing thin. “Your daughter is like this because you always indulge her and let her have her way! If she can’t deal with her own emotions, that’s her problem!”
“But it’s
‘s your conscience, Henry Amandla screamed. “Your conscience if something happens to her! It’s your fault! Have you forgotten she was the only one taking care of Callisto in the hospital when there was no hope of him waking up? That’s how much she loves Callisto, but now! That man is with another womant Amber is still his fiancée, so she has rights?”
“And what if I tell you where he is? Henry challenged. “Do you think Amber will leave Lorraine alone?! You know your daughter, and you know

Henry fell silent, pondering his wife’s suggestion. The more he thought about that worthless man, the more his blood boiled.
There were many men in the world, yet his daughters were both in love with and obsessed with the same one!
Although he wasn’t sure Lorraine sull had feelings for that man based on their previous conversation, they still needed him in their lives for their child’s sake, filling Henry with doubt.
Callisto was needed there for Lorraine’s child’s recovery. Henry still harbored ambitions to see the child in person, as he was his grandchild from his eldest daughter.
Meanwhile, he knew Amber’s personality well. If she decided to end her life, she would do it, regardless of leaving her own child, Anjie, behind. That was why Henry increasingly lost favor with Amber. She was selfish and had a bad attitude. When she wanted something, she wanted it now!
But Amber wouldn’t have turned out this way if Amanda hadn’t raised her the way she did.
“Tsk!” Henry glared at Amanda before speaking. “I’ll see what I can do. But if I can’t convince Callisto, I’m not getting involved in your daughter’s problem, and you’ll have to deal with her behavior yourself!”
“Uh” Amanda’s face twisted in anger at her husband. She felt like his attitude had changed, and he only cared about Lorraine! She grew increasingly suspicious that he and Lorraine were secretly meeting and talking poisoning his mind against hert
