Chapter 1302:
Just as Calvert's patience was about to wear thin, Kallie reluctantly unlatched the door.
Sitting in her wheelchair, Kallie gazed up at Calvert, her expression full of quiet grievance. She didn't need to say a word. The mere sight of her like this stirred pity in Calvert.
Calvert strained to stretch his wrinkled face into what he imagined was a doting, gentle smile but instead, it came off as lecherous and unsettling.
"Kallie, what's wrong? Oh, sweetheart, don't be like this. Seeing you upset pains me."
Swallowing her disgust, Kallie exhaled softly.
"To avoid suspicion, it's best for you not to visit me."
She glanced at the servants lingering nearby, hesitating.
Calvert's eyes flickered with understanding, and a sly grin spread across his face.
"Then let's talk in private. I just want to check on you, that's all. No other intentions." Only then did Kallie let Calvert in.
The moment Calvert shut the door, his hands reached for her. Kallie slapped them away, her voice sharp.
"What do you think you're doing?"
Calvert's expression darkened with frustration at her rejection. His eyes narrowed with suspicion as he asked, "Kallie, don't you feel the same way about me? I just want to be close to you. Or was your love for me all a lie?"
Kallie took a steady breath, forcing a resigned smile.
"If I didn't love you, why would I give you my house's passcode? Why would I ask you to tell my lover to keep away from me?"
Calvert mulled it over and reluctantly admitted she had a point. Still, a flicker of dissatisfaction remained in his eyes as he looked at her with a hint of grievance.

"If that's true, why do you always refuse to be intimate with me? When two people love each other, intimacy is natural."
Kallie fought back the nausea rising in her throat at Calvert's eagerness, but she maintained her composure, her voice smooth as she tried to pacify him.
"Calvert, you don't understand. I've been keeping my distance for both our sakes. Before, it was because Florrie was keeping a close eye on you. Now, it's to avoid suspicion.
People are already questioning the spiritual advisor's legitimacy, saying you hired her just for me. Florrie will latch onto that. Imagine if she tells Gracelyn. You know how much Gracelyn cares about her grandson's affairs. If Gracelyn thinks we've been deceiving her, we're finished."
A visible shudder ran through Calvert. The gravity of the situation dawned on him. His priority now was to appease Florrie. But the thought of how she'd ruined his plans made him furious. Seeking comfort, he had come to Kallie.
Kallie continued, "I've only been here a short while, but Florrie has spent decades in this household. People trust her. If we make a wrong move..."
She left the sentence unfinished, her gaze resting on Calvert with feigned vulnerability.
"It's not that I don't want to be with you. I'm thinking of you. But instead of appreciating that, you doubt me. Fine. Think what you want."

Kallie eyed him warily.
"Really?"
"Of course." Calvert pounded his chest in assurance.
"Just wait. I'll handle it."
