Chapter 715



Watching him, Kallie sighed to herself, mixed feelings swelling within her. Calvin was beginning to mirror Jake more each day. If he could master Jake’s decisiveness and strategies, it would serve him well.

Calvin’s injuries were only superficial, mere scratches. Since there was no sign of infection or other complications, he was cleared to leave the hospital.

Kallie wasted no time bringing Calvin home.

Before their return, Sophie was beside herself with worry. She had spent the previous night pacing the hospital lobby with Trent. Kallie had promised over the phone to come down shortly.

Sophie had been waiting anxiously, her nerves fraying as nearly two hours passed without a word from Kallie. She had considered going up to find her, but was stopped by security. As it was a private facility, Sophie felt powerless without permission. Her anxiety reached a peak, and she nearly involved the police.

At that moment, Trent calmed Sophie, suggesting they wait until morning to avoid drawing unnecessary attention. Relief washed over Sophie when Kallie finally called the next morning.

“Mom! Calvin!” Sophie exclaimed, rushing to embrace them tearfully. She remembered Calvin was hurt, so she was gentle in her movements.

Kallie comforted Sophie, patting her back. “I’m sorry if you were worried. But look, we’re both okay.”

Find your imagination at galn ovels ; con Calvin, showing maturity beyond his years, gently wiped away Sophie’s tears. “Don’t cry, Sophie. I’m really okay.”

Sophie balled her fists, her voice thick with anger as she declared, “That evil woman who hurt Calvin will pay. I’ll make sure of it.”

Kallie managed a smile and sent the children off to bed, taking a moment to herself afterward.

Whenever Kallie closed her eyes, memories of the previous night flooded back. Jake had draped his coat around her shoulders and held her close when fear overtook her. She could almost still catch the scent of Jake, blurring the lines between reality and dreams. Yet, last night had been no dream. The feelings were too intense, too real.

Kallie understood Jake deeply. Once he gave his heart to someone, he was theirs alone.

Kallie’s mind raced with questions. Did Jake stop caring about Cara? Was he going to betray her? No, that didn’t seem like him at all.

Kallie dismissed the thought, knowing Jake wasn’t the cheating kind. But if he truly loved Cara, he wouldn’t have been so close to her last night. Yet, if he didn’t love Cara, then why did they have a child together?

Kallie gazed into the distance, a strange mix of emotions swirling within her. It felt heavy, suffocating, like a weight pressing down on her chest.

After checking on Elma, Jake and Cara headed back to the Morgan family estate. The moment they arrived, Jake went to find Clayton. Their conversation quickly escalated into a shouting match.

Cara, who had been on her way to see Clayton herself, was startled by the raised voices. She was about to barge in when Jake stormed out of the room. His eyes were cold, his face etched with fury. Cara was taken aback by his icy demeanor.

“Jake, what the hell was that about?”
