When Calista walked into the room with her breakfast, the atmosphere in the ward had already become tense.Lucian and Hector wore stern expressions as if they were on the verge of a fight at any moment. She had only been downstairs for half an hour, yet these two gentlemen had managed to start an argument. Her presence was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, disrupting its surface tranquility and creating a massive wave. Lucian walked past her with a cold gaze, heading straight for the door while still wearing his clothes from yesterday.He appeared as though he had just crawled out of a dumpster, his clothes rumpled and creased, with the collar area being particularly messy.There was even a faint bruise on his neck, likely from the fight with Hector yesterday. Lucian remarked in a low and icy tone, "Calista, it seems you are close with him." A discussion of whether he was capable in bed had come up. What was next, a competition to see who had been better? Calista was

Calista was about to wash the peeled potatoes. But she didn't expect there to be oil on the ground. The anti-slip effect of her slippers wasn't working fine as well, so she fell.　　As she fell, she accidentally brushed against the plates on the counter. All of them fell to the ground.Paul rushed forward to hold her up. But he squatted for too long. Not only he didn't manage to get Calista up, but he fell as well. But he managed to let Calista fall on him instead of the ground. Although Calista didn't fall directly on the ground, Paul's well-trained and sturdy body wasn't anything better than falling straight on the ground. She felt dizzy. She wasn't able to process what happened.　Calista wasn't aware that her face was against Paul's crotch. Little did she know there were already people closing into them at the kitchen entrance. She frowned and shook her head slightly to get rid of the dizziness.But because it was just a very minimal movement, it didn't seem like she was shak

Before Calista could respond, that person yelled frantically, "Are you blind? Do you know how hard it is for me to order this dress? I bet you can't even pay for the dress if it got dirty."　She sounded like Charlotte. Calista lifted her head. It was Charlotte indeed. She was wearing a sexy, black fishtail gown. But her hips weren't plump enough to accentuate the gown. 　So Charlotte ended up looking like—what's that word that's been trending on social media—drip. Yes, it seemed like she had no drip at all.　She looked at Calista in disdain. Her arms were crossed. She posed patronizingly although she was shorter than Calista."Ah, who do we have here? It appears to be Lucian's ex-wife. How did you get in here? It wouldn't be possible for a peasant like you to enter. Did you hook up with some rich man?"　Calista was merely here for Augustus' sake. She didn't want to argue with an idiot like Charlotte.So Calista snapped back at her, "Lucian doesn't like women who talk too much. He

Calista felt quite awkward as they were all shooting distinctive looks at her. It seemed like everything had ended now. No one spoke a word. Even Charlotte stopped her tantrums. As Calista got up and attempted to make her leave, Lucian tightened his grip. She was fixated on her seat. Gilbert gritted his teeth, his veins were popping on his forehead.He ordered his housekeeper who was still in the kitchen, "Get me some hot water."Charlotte stared at her father in fear."Dad, what are you doing!"　Although Charlotte knew by instinct that this glass of hot water wasn't for her, since her father cherished her so much. His heart would bleed when it was just a small cut on her.But as Charlotte saw her father's gritted teeth and tense expression, she couldn't help but be frightened.The housekeeper thought Gilbert wanted to have some water, so she came over hurriedly with a steaming hot mug of water. It was boiling water. Steam was rising from the water's surface. Gilbert tapped

Calista widened her eyes in surprise. She stared at Lucian who said those words nonchalantly with much amazement. Although she didn't see what Yara described with her own eyes, she could picture how angry Lucian was.If she were to put herself in his shoes, given how much he's done for Lily—giving her roles, setting up her social network, and being with her whenever she needed him, she'd sympathize with Lucian.Despite everything Lucian did, Lily didn't take him seriously and still played hard to get.But at the next moment, Lucian found out Lily was with the old man in his sixties, his hands all over her in public, just for the sake of getting her desired role.The only thing the old man beat Lucian for was his age. Given Lucian's temper, he'd already had mercy on Lily for not skinning the old man alive on the spot."Don't be so impulsive. You have to chill. Don't act on impulse and do something you'd regret," said Calista.She decided to comfort Lucian for a bit for the sake
