Chapter 319 I Shall Allow You
“Calm down“” Wyatt’s voice boomed, causing Calista to halt in her tracks, the recent whirlwind of emotions leaving Wyatt somewhat on edge. As he grasped her hand and locked eyes with her, he stressed, “Look, I don’t care <b>what </b>you’re going through or how much pain you’re in, but you can’t go near the <b>balcony</b>. I <b>don’t </b>want anyone jumping off my apartment andmitting suicide!”
Maybe it was the intensity in his voice or the <b>mention </b>of “suicide” <b>that </b>jolted Calista back to reality. As she gazed into Wyatt’s eyes, her tense muscles gradually rxed, and <b>in </b>a hoarse whisper she assured, “I’m not going to die<b>, </b>and I definitely won’t <bmit </b>suicide.”
“You better not!” Initially. Wyatt <b>had </b>contemted restraining Calista due to her vtile emotions, but witnessing her pallidplexion and the diminishing spark in her eyes made him refrain.
“So, are you going to get off me?” Calista furrowed her brow, sensing the rigidity in Wyatt’s muscles that made her ufortable.
The immediate crisis <b>had </b>passed, and upon hearing Calista’s words, Wyatt’s face momentarily flushed with embarrassment before he quickly stepped away.
Although momentary, the lingering touch of her body and the <b>faint </b>scent of medicinal herbs left him feeling somewhat disoriented even after he had distanced himself. His ears tinged with red, a reaction. unnoticed by Calista.
“Are you fully present now? Do <b>you </b>want me to call a psychiatrist for you?” Wyatt abruptly shut down his inappropriate thoughts and inquired with genuine concern.
As Calista massaged his temples, her throbbing headache gradually eased, and she wearily remarked, “It won’t contemte suicide in your house.”
“That’s good then… Upon reflecting, Wyatt moistened his lips, pondering on striking up a conversation with Calista.
He felt a slight disconnect and wondered whether he should delve into the reasons behind her fallout with Kallum or the situation during his absence. Their strained rtionship stemmed from theplex dynamics between the Stafford and Langley families due to Yelena and Quincy’s involvement.
Deciding to shift the focus, he offered, “I’ll go whip up some breakfast.”
Observing the noticeable bruise on Wyatt’s neck, Calista couldn’t help but notice his injuries. “I think we should address your wounds first,” she suggested, gesturing towards his injuries.
Only then did Wyatt acknowledge his difort. Realizing the importance of self–care, he retrieved a first aid kit and began to tend to his injuries, his movements appearing somewhat rigid.
As Calista’s gaze fixated on the bloodstains on Wyatt’s shoulder, she suddenly voiced a piercing question, “What would your stance be if I ever decided to kill that old geezer, Matthew?”
Pausing for <b>a </b>moment, Wyatt resumed attending to his wounds as he exined, “My grandfather, has been <b>an </b>integral part of my life, earning me the respect and responsibilities thate with being a part of the Langley family.”N?velDrama.Org content rights.

Wyatt fixed his gaze on Calista, his expression serious. “If he hasmitted a crime, he will face the legal consequences. You didn’t have to tell me this. I… would have taken him into custody myself!”
Calista let out a soft chuckle as she gently took the alcohol and cotton ball from Wyatt’s <b>hand</b>. Tilting her head slightly, she spoke sincerely. “Before our fallout, I shall allow you to be my friend.”
Her frown conveyed a sense of reluctant concession as she continued, “But to be my friend, you must show <b>me </b><b>unwavering </b>respect, stand by my side, <b>assist </b>me through my <b>troubles</b>, and yield to me.”
Wyatt’s suddenughter had a reassuring warmth to it, bringingfort to the tense atmosphere. “What you’re describing sounds more like a boyfriend than a friend.”
Calista, usuallyposed, felt a tinge of embarrassment for the first time as she prepared to tend Wyatt’s wounded hand. Is that so<i>? </i>He’s not… teasing me, is he?
Recognizing the turbulence beneath <b>Calista’s </b>typically cold facade, Wyatt felt <b>a </b>sense of satisfaction <b>knowing </b>that she had emerged from her emotional turmoil without external intervention.

“Of course, as your friend, I would do all these for you,” he assured her, with a determination to go and beyond for her.
After studying him for a moment, Calista responded with <b>a </b>nomittal hum and quietly tended to his wounds. Her previous overwhelming negative emotions were now buried deep within her mind.
She wasn’t fragile, just suppressed, and while she appreciated Wyatt’s support, she was determined to find her own way out of her emotional struggle, even if he hadn’t intervened.
And so, Wyatt had brought her back to reality.
Calista wasn’t an ingrate. She acknowledged his kindness and chose not to associate him with the <b>rest </b>of the Langley family. Her previous aversion toward him had stemmed from his inability toprehend Quincy’s actions, but she <b>was </b>willing to reconsider her stance.
