‘s going on?” In the past, Calista <b>was </b><b>a </b>very reserved person and rarely got this close to her. Feeling confused, Wanda directed a puzzled look <b>toward </b><b>Kallum</b>.
Kallum gave his head a shake and said, “Mom, aren’t you supposed to take Callie to meet someone?”
“Huh? Oh, yes! Callie, you should rest first. I will <b>take </b>you to meet a friend tomorrow, okay?“,
Calista spected that Wanda was taking her to see a psychiatrist. A hint of resistance stirred within her. but faced with Wanda’s expectant gaze, she found herself unable to voice any objections.
“All right.”
Upon seeing her agree, Wanda was indeed quite pleased. However, the conversation took a sudden turn when Calista added, “But could you arrange another room for me? I–I don’t <b>want </b>to share a room with Kallum.
Calista’s words elicited a variety of reactions from those present. Concealing the bitterness in his heart, Kallum told Wanda to step away first.
Kallum walked over to Calista, feeling somewhat exasperated <b>as </b>he said. “It’s reallyte, so why bother with all this fuss? How about we just add another bed to the room? I <b>haven’t </b>been able to sleep for days now.”
Calista was very hesitant about it, but she was genuinely exhausted, and moreover, she was a bit apprehensive about speaking with Kallum, so she decided to stay silent.
Just like that, Kallum, who imed not to want any fuss, still caused quite a stir by <b>moving </b>a bed in. This was certainly more troublesome <b>than </b>simply arranging a new room for Calista.
Previously. Calista didn’t feel anything unusual. After all, she and Kallum had shared even more <b>intimate </b>moments together. Sharing a room or even bathing together didn’t stir any <b>emotions </b>within her, but things <b>were </b>different now.
She furrowed her brows <b>as </b>her emotions were in turmoil. Yet, she didn’t hesitate at all in doing what needed to be done<b>.</b>
Kallum, who was pretending to review some documents, let out a sigh of relief. Recently, he had to be extremely careful not to do anything that might upset her.
<i>The </i>reason why Calista is feeling flustered right now is merely because I had unexpectedly obliterated her nightmare before, causing her a certain amount of distress. <i>If </i>she <b>were </b>given time to calm down, she would still remember <b>the </b>things I had done to her in the previous life…
The mere thought of that gave Kallum a headache. There was an old saying that children often had to suffer for their parents‘ sins, but in his case, Kallum found himself paying the price for things he hadn’t even done. It was truly unjust.
While Calista was halfway through showering, the water suddenly stopped.
She was somewhat baffled. In Fairchild Manor, which had a water cirction system, the idea of water <b>outage </b>was simply unthinkable. Yet, it <b>had </b>indeed happened.
She repeatedly tried to make a call using the bathroom’s internal line, but the line was always busy. Left

Seeing Calista emerge swiftly, Kallum was somewhat puzzled. She hadn’t even dried her hair and was merely wrapped in a bath towel, her fair skinrgely exposed. He couldn’t help but swallow, his eyes flickering as he asked. “What’s wrong?”
Calista scrutinized Kallum’s expression. Upon <b>noting </b>that he didn’t seem to be pretending, she figured it could indeed be <b>an </b>unexpected situation.
“The bathroom’s water supply <b>was </b>cut off,” she stated coldly.
“Huh? How could that be?” Kallum eximed, <b>finding </b>the situation <b>almost </b>unbelievable. <b>At </b>that moment. someone knocked on the door, and from outside, Wanda’s somewhat apologetic voice could be heard.
“Kallum<b>, </b>hold off on showering for now. There’s an issue with the water pressure in the water cirction system. It requires manual pumping to get the water flowing again.”
Calista noticed the sticky foam on her body <b>and </b>couldn’t help but ask. “How do I manually pump water?”
Amotion echoed from <b>outside </b>the door, as if someone was eximing, “We did it!”N?velDrama.Org content rights.
After <b>a </b>while. Wanda, feigning calmness, said, “Kallum should know where the pressure pump is. I have some things to take care of, so you <i>t</i>
should get some rest soon!”
After Wanda finished speaking, she left.
At this point, there was no way Kallum wouldn’t be able to understand their intentions. Even though the pressure pump <b>was </b>in the bathroom, it was located a bit far from the bathtub’s shower head. Moreover, it had to be continuously pumped for water to flow. In other words, if Calista wanted to finish her shower smoothly, someone would have to go in <b>and </b>pump it for her continuously.
This really seemed like an idea Wanda would <b>have </b></dive up with.
After hearing Kallum’s exnation, Calista seemed to have also deduced Wanda’s intentions.
It must have been because they knew she wanted to annul the marriage, so they were intentionally trying to create an opportunity for them.
She presumed that even if she <b>sought </b>help from the <b>servants</b>, they would likely im that they didn’t have the time to assist her.
Calista was somewhat agitated, her emotional state was still far from calm, especially facing such a <b>situation</b>. Yet she couldn’t express her <b>anger</b><b>. </b>After all, it was her who had unreasonably called off the marriage first. The fact that Wanda didn’t me her <b>was </b>already a disy of utmost kindness and understanding.
After a moment’s hesitation, <b>Calista </b>quickly nced at Kallum <b>and </b>asked, “Would youe in and help.
me?”
Kallum suddenly stood up, his eyes clearly revealing a sense of surprise and delight.
“All right… I mean, sure. I won’t look at you.”
With an expression <b>that </b>was difficult to put into words. Calista once again entered the bathroom.
Kallum hesitated for a moment before stepping in. It could have been an illusion, but despite the <b>bathroom’s </b>spaciousness, the moment <b>Kallum </b>entered, Calista felt an overwhelming sense of
pressure.

He stood tall and was d in a well–tailored casual shirt, seemingly at a loss as he watched her.
Calista <b>had </b>always believed she had long lost any sense of modesty, yet facing him, impably dressed as he was, she found herself unexpectedly reluctant to let go of her bath towel.
In the midst of the rising steam, Kallum’s ears were slightly red. He turned around very slowly and said in a hoarse voice. “Go ahead and wash up. I won’t look.”
