Chapter 807:
Callum, unfazed, declared, “No one’s allowed to intrude on us p>
Donna could only shake her head in exasperation.
By now, Cayson had made his way over. Donna handed him a bottle of beer. “You’ve been standing by the grill too long. Your face is practically glowing from the heat p>
Cayson smiled faintly. “It’s nothing. I don’t often get the chance to cook for you. Now that I do, I want to make it count p>
Donna chuckled. “I never knew you could cook like this p>
Cayson laughed softly. “I learned back when I moved out for college, but every time I came home, you spoiled me so much I didn’t need to cook anything p>
It was a universal truth—people often took shortcuts when someone else was there to catch the slack.
Donna changed the subject, her eyes darting toward Yelena and Austin. “Look how well they match p>
Cayson’s brow twitched slightly. He glanced at the pair and replied, “I think it’s just so-so p>
“Why do I detect a hint of jealousy?” Donna teased.
Cayson didn’t deny it. “Maybe a little. Yelena just got back with us, and I don’t want her swept away so soon p>
After a pause, he added, “Besides, I’m not sure how committed Austin is to this relationship. His family lives all the way in Kheley p>
Donna looked at him with a smile, her eyes soft with understanding. “It’s only a two-hour trip from Eighfast to Kheley. You can visit multiple times in a day. Are you really worried Yelena won’t come back if she moves there? And who says she has to live at her husband’s house? If she wants, she can stay with us. Plus, I think Austin’s mother already adores her p>
Cayson was rendered speechless. Donna’s words hit the nail on the head—there truly wasn’t anything to worry about.

Callum, however, seemed to have caught onto something. He turned to Donna and asked, “Honey, how do you know the travel time from Kheley to Eighfast so precisely p>
It was a valid question. Ever since their marriage, Callum’s demanding work schedule had kept the two from venturing far, and Donna had never set foot in Kheley. How could she be so sure of the timing? Donna froze for a moment, caught off guard. If Callum hadn’t pointed it out, she wouldn’t have even noticed such a detail.
“I don’t know. I must have said it without thinking. Did I get it wrong?” she replied.
Callum shook his head. “No, you’re spot on—it’s indeed about two hours p>
Donna fell silent, her thoughts weaving a quiet web of questions. She had never been to Kheley, nor had she looked into the details of the journey. Yet, the information had come to her as naturally as if it had been etched in her mind. Why?
Donna wasn’t the conventional image of a trophy wife, content to revel in luxury and leisure. Though Callum had given her an unrestricted spending card and the freedom to pursue her interests, she had little appetite for indulgence and harbored an inexplicable resistance to Kheley itself.
Still, this momentary curiosity was like a ripple on a calm lake, barely disturbing her thoughts. It quickly faded, leaving her mind at peace once more.
As she watched everyone around her enjoying their drinks, a sudden craving bubbled to the surface.
Yelena, always quick to notice, handed her a bottle with a playful smile. “Mom, have you ever had beer before p>
