Chapter 668:
Noticing Callum’s discomfort, Yelena asked, “Why don’t I rent a place outside to keep it p>
She was committed to the kitten and didn’t want to abandon it, especially to prevent any mishaps like before.
If Callum disapproved, then she wouldn’t keep it at home—just to prevent a similar tragedy from occurring again.
Callum quickly clarified, misunderstanding her concern. “No need, I just need some time to get used to it p>
“Dad, if you’re uncomfortable, I can p>
“It’s okay, really, I can handle it,” Callum said.
Yelena felt reassured by his words.
Callum was usually straightforward with his feelings.
Unlike Tatiana, who had disliked Yelena’s previous cat but never openly admitted it, leading to its unfortunate fate.
“Okay, Dad, just take your time. And if it really doesn’t work, just tell me. We’ll figure something out together p>
“Okay p>
“Honey, do you want to pet it? Its fur is so soft p>
Donna was enchanted as soon as she touched the cat.
“No!” Callum blurted out but immediately regretted his blunt refusal.
He glanced at Yelena, who seemed unfazed.
He quietly exhaled in relief.
𝙊𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙡:
Cayson said, “Mom, let me hold it p>
“No, I’ve just gotten a hold of it. Let me keep it a bit longer p>
Yelena felt a surge of relief seeing everyone’s affection for the kitten.
Just then, her phone buzzed. She checked it and found a message from Austin.
“How is Aus doing? Has he settled in? Is he meowing a lot p>
She snapped a photo of Donna cuddling Aus and replied, “He’s really taken to it here. My mom loves holding him p>
Austin looked over at Maggie, who was cradling Lena on the nearby sofa, and was at a loss for words.
“Mom, when are you planning to go back to Kheley p>
At Austin’s question, Maggie turned around with a clear look of displeasure.
Austin silently counted to three in his head, and then, right on cue, Maggie began to cry.
“I exhausted myself raising you. Do you think that was easy? I just missed my son and came to see you, and now you can’t wait to get rid of me p>
Austin felt a headache brewing.
“No, that’s not what I meant p>
Maggie scoffed. “Yes, it is! You’re the one who brought me here, and now you’re pushing me away. Why must I suffer like this p>
After Amanda’s birthday party, Austin had John track down Maggie’s location. He found the hotel where she was staying and brought her to his place.
Caught by Austin, Maggie dropped her pretenses but still refused to return to Kheley.
Reluctantly, Austin allowed her to stay, but he set clear conditions: she couldn’t cause any trouble or interfere with his relationship with Yelena, or he would send her away immediately.
