“What are you talking about? Callie is my future daughter-in-law...”
Wanda was brimming with confidence about this. With a smile, she saw Benedict off. By the time she returned, Calista had already finished eating.
“Where's Kallum?” Calista was a bit puzzled.
Wanda paused and said somewhat reproachfully, “Yesterday, Kallum accidentally destroyed part of the ancestral property. Now, he's talking about selling off the place. So, the other members of the Fairchild family came over this morning. They're upstairs.”
Calista was slightly stunned. Just yesterday, Kallum had unexpectedly blown up the place, causing not only financial loss but also discomfort among the other Fairchilds. After all, the significance of ancestral property was different from others, and Kallum was even planning to sell it now.
Though Kallum had complete control over the ancestral property, selling it off could lead others to believe there were financial issues within the Fairchild family. Naturally, Kallum would have to provide them with an explanation.
The excuse of accidentally blowing something up was rather dismissive, but it was indeed in line with Kallum's usual style. Moreover, the fact that he didn't mention her at all saved her a lot of trouble.
“Forget about him. I'm going to introduce you to someone.”
Calista knew who she was meant to meet. Despite her resistance, she nodded in agreement.
Wanda led her into a room that was incredibly tranquil and brightly lit. In there, a man was engrossed in reading a book.
He appeared quite youthful, dressed in light-colored casual attire, complete with a beige knitted scarf. He looked much like a scholar.
“Hello, are you Calista? I'm Wilbur Sutton, your psychiatrist.”
The moment he turned to look, he exuded a sense of serene tranquility and a hint of elegance.
Calista narrowed her eyes. “I'm Calista.”
From the phrase “I am,” one could discern that the two individuals possessed rather similar personalities. Upon seeing her, Wilbur raised an eyebrow in amusement.
Wanda said with a smile, “Even though Mr. Sutton is not that old, he is a renowned neurologist both domestically and internationally, as well as a psychologist. Callie... I hope you won't keep anything to yourself. Speak up, Mr. Sutton will surely help you...”
She then pulled Calista aside and whispered, “It's okay if you don't like Mr. Sutton. I know other people. But Callie, don't think that seeing a psychologist means there's something wrong with you. In foreign countries, it's a common thing. Just have a casual chat with him, okay?”
Seeing that Wanda's eyes were filled with worry, Calista simply nodded and tried her best to relax.
“Okay, thank you.”
Calista's words brought a sense of relief to Wanda. She appeared to be a genuinely caring mother and was very thoughtful.
“Mr. Sutton is aware of the current affairs within the Fairchild family, as well as the state of your health and Kallum's. There's no need to hide anything. Just relax, okay?”
