Plus, based on Kallum''s reaction, it was clear that Kallum was more interested in her than she was in him. As a result, she was in control, but that didn''t mean she had be a seasoned veteran in the game of love. She was merely smartly using her advantage, but was far from being a master in love.


    Now was a good example of just how clueless she was. Anyone could tell Kallum was struggling to suppress his feelings for her. In fact, the muscles beneath his clothes that were taut with tension, his intense aura of masculinity, and the look in his eyes said it all. However, Calista, though initially uneasy, quickly convinced herself that Kallum wouldn''t harm her and continued sitting on hisp, oblivious to the danger.


    Kallum''s handsome face was taut, his Adam''s apple bobbing incessantly. It seemed as though he had so much to say, so much he wanted to do, yet his rationality kept him in check. Such a tense atmosphere caused goosebumps to crawl all over Quintus'' skin. "Nothing." Kallum''s gaze dimmed. Apparently, rationality had prevailed over impulse this time. He desired to conquer her yet was so afraid to hurt her.


    "Quintus, get out," he said.


    "Yes, sir!" Quintus, relieved, shouted in response and took off, scampering out of the room.


    When they were finally alone in the room, Calista started to feel uneasy. "Don''t you want to hear about Quincy''s secret?"


    Kallum reached out, pulling her close to him. In a hushed voice, he muttered, "I''m more curious about your secret."


    The word "secret" clearly held a deeper meaning. Unfortunately, Calista didn''t get it. As Kallum held her, she responded the same way she did in any other intimate moment they shared throughout the year, quietly enduring it.


    She felt that she had a huge impact on Kallum''s state of mind, and a patient''s emotions were crucial to the treatment. Her sense of shame had long since disappeared anyway, and she could handle being embraced and kissed. Plus, Kallum always had a refreshing scent about him, and his appearance was a feast for the eyes.


    After Calista revealed Quincy''s secret, Kallum had already calmed down. He hadn''t expected to hear such news, but it surprisingly aligned with his spections.


    "No wonder Harvey didn''t want to acknowledge her. This is absurd!"


    Calista didn''tment on that. "So, you''re nning to use Quincy''s background as a counterattack against Harvey?"


    After considering the potential oues, she let out a pleased chuckle. "That''s a pretty good n. But I''m not nning on letting Quincy leave the Stafford family so soon. After all, it''s going to be hard for me to make a move against her if she''s too far away." She sneered, not even bothering to hide her animosity toward Quincy.


    Kallum said, "If you wish to keep her around you, I can change my approach. After all, I have plenty of ways to deal with Harvey."


    "But this n is the most dramatic and interesting!" Calista eximed, changing her mind. "I think it''s not bad at all I can finally rx since won''t have to pretend to be

    Kallum couldn''t help kissing Calista''s hair, saying affectionately, "Whatever floats your boat."


    Calista looked up at him but didn''t say anything in the end. She''d never fall in love with someone else again in this lifetime anyway. If Kallum continued pampering and loving her, she was happy to enjoy his affection. Meanwhile, Harvey and Kyven had finally agreed on terms and were enjoying a friendly lunch following their negotiation.


    "It''s settled then. I''ve given you everything you need. You better take good care of Kieran," said Kyven.


    Harvey spoke sincerely. "You know my situation. I don''t have any children. From now on, I will consider Kieran as my own son, even if by some chance I have a child of my own, too."


    Kyvenughed and said with feigned magnanimity, "If you have a child of your own, I would certainly be happy for you! You should prioritize your child by then, but don''t forget about Kieran, too!"


    He was merely being polite.


    Everyone knew that Harvey had


    been getting annual check-ups and treatments without any sess. е Last year, the doctors had already dered that he had lost his ability to conceive. So, Harvey''s assets would all belong to Kieran in the


    future.


    A glint shed in Harvey''s eyes as he chuckled. "You''re the kindest one among all my brothers! I''m d I chose Kieran as my sessor. I hope he turns out like you so that I have someone to rely on when I grow old." Kyven immediately waved his hand, beckoning his son over. "Kieran, from now on, Uncle Harvey will be your father! You must respect and honor him, understand?"


    Kieran, who was fifteen years old, appeared extremely obedient. He greeted Harvey right away, "Dad!"


    "Good boy!" Please, Harvey patted the youngster''s shoulder.


    As the three interacted harmoniously, Kallum received some news and promptly made a call, a smile ying on his lips.


    A DNA test reportnded on Kyven''s office desk. When he saw that, his cheerful smile was turned upside down. "Harvey! You b*stard! How dare you deceive me!"
