Chapter 191: Chapter 191: RECOGNIZING AN ACQUAINTANCE

Hayes flushed with embarrassment rather than joy upon hearing how Calista remembered him. Couldn’t she remember it nicely except that for real?

Nonetheless, having her recall her was better than not, so his mood got uplifted in a matter of seconds as he replied, "Um, it’s me, big sister. You don’t know how long I have been searching for you!" with an aggrieved expression on his face, he complained.

Calista, seeing the rebelliousness of back then, now acting coy, cringed as she rolled her eyes at him before replying, "Why would you waste time looking for someone? What if I was dead?"

Hayes grinned at her, seeing how sharp-tongued she was even after so many years.

"Hehe, if you were dead, I would rest until I see your bones and ascertain that it was you. How could you die before I see you in person?" he shamelessly responded.

He had heard so much about Calista from the moment he recognized her, or rather suspected that it was her.

Her appearance hadn’t changed that much, to be honest. It’s just the body which grew, and she looked mature now compared to before. However, her demeanor remained the same.

He didn’t even know or think that he would be able to find her so close to where he was staying. He had been searching in many places and yet never got a breakthrough. But this time, after hearing from a subordinate that the person he was looking for might be found in Liresa City, he got on his horse and left abruptly, which nearly made his family blow the roof of the house.

However, could their objections stop him from finding his savior?

No way that was going to happen.

No one would understand how dangerous it was for him back then. If she hadn’t arrived, he would be doomed. That was for sure.

When his brother came to investigate what happened, he still remembered how he shuddered as he shared his hypothesis. Whatever happened to the people who captured him was very cruel.

It was Calista who dealt with them. As for how, he just knew that in the place where they supposedly died, a very enormous dark spirit seemed to be lingering there.

They died with a belly of grievances, unfortunately they had nowhere to vent or who to avenge. The last time he heard about that place; it was said that the dark energy dissipated on its own. As for how that happened, no one knew.

Anyway, Calista became someone that he wanted to see, no matter what. It’s just that she was a hard person to find, and it took him twelve years to finally do.

Seeing her right now, and with a bulging belly, he could only smile and be happy for her.

However, he also recalled how that belly didn’t seem to belong to anyone in particular. With an annulled marriage, that baby belongs to Calista. If he were to make a move on her, would she agree?

Would he be able to manage and control her?

He shivered as he thought of that.

There was no way that the two of them would live normally and peacefully. He was too wild, very sharp-tongued, and was used to do whatever he wanted. If he were to be matched up with Calista, all hell would break loose.

Before his thoughts go awry, he decides to cut any lingering feelings of wanting something that would get him into hot soup in the future.

Rather than making her his woman, it would be better to become siblings.

As he looked at her, rolling her eyes as she continued to eat, he became determined.

Having her as a sibling would be great. She didn’t have anyone and with him by her side, then the family would go bigger.

The more he thought of that, the more determined he became.

And that’s how another clingy figure was added on Calista’s side.

However, rather than hating Hayes, she liked this new addition the most.

She had come across a lot of people, especially the rich young masters, and yet Hayes was the first person who seemed to be born to make her happy.

Everything that he does, says or thinks, it was all for her. Whenever he saw her sulking, or groaning in pain, he would act like a father who had a child in old age. It was simply hilarious and yet at the same time, made her feel that having him by her side wasn’t that bad at all.

But that was something for another time.

Returning to the moment, after acknowledging each other, Leeshay didn’t have anything more to worry about. Hayes wasn’t a threat, so they could now return to what they were doing.

However, another thought came to mind as she looked at him. Why should she use her connections, which might not bring the best when there was someone from the capital with them?

So later that evening at the manor, after eating and when they were admiring the night sky in the gazebo, Leeshay raised her concerns with Hayes.

As for Calista, she was more of a salted fish, especially when she was pregnant now. As long as someone could solve her problems, she could sleep the whole day without even feeling ashamed.

So how could she dislike having someone do her chores for her?

And surely, that was indeed the case.

Calista felt grateful as she listened to the conversation between the two. She found it very beneficial to have such close friends like them.

"Young master Hayes, this sister of yours came to the city for a purpose this time. I was wondering if you can lend a hand!" Leeshay laid out the story to Hayes, who listened attentively with sparkling eyes.

Wasn’t he looking for a way to repay Calista from the moment he left the house?

"Just tell me. As long as it’s something that I can do, I will do my best!"

And that was the kind of answer that Leeshay was looking forward to hearing.
