< Second Chance, His Unending Lo…
Chapter 108
Kristen and Byron accepted the situation with remarkable speed.
Byron was already thinking about how to boast to Hugh.
Kristen also glared at Evander, then gently took Olivia’s hand, liking her more and more the longer she looked.
Everyone in the Stillwater Bay area knew Olivia was a top student with an incredibly bright future!
“You rascal, you do nothing for twenty years, and then when you finally act, you go big. I’ve gained such a
beautiful and clever granddaughter out of thin air. My old colleagues are sure to be jealous!”
This series of actions left Calista and Olivia completely at
a loss.
They had just come along as bystanders, as a shield, so how had it turned into a formal meeting with the potential in-laws?
Calista frantically signaled Evander with her eyes.

Evander raised his hands in surrender. “Mom, Dad, don’t get too ahead of yourselves. I haven’t actually won Calista over yet!”
Calista was stunned.
I asked you to clarify the relationship. How did you end up making it sound even more off the mark?!
Kristen and Byron nodded repeatedly.
“We understand!”
Kristen adjusted her glasses. “You had no luck marrying Calista when you were young. Now you’re in your forties, and I don’t know what makes you think you can succeed now. I’m just happy to see Calista. This has nothing to do with you.”
Evander was speechless.

In the hall, most of the guests had arrived and were gathered, chatting amongst themselves.

The topics of conversation mostly revolved around Fiona and Evander.
Especially Evander. As the top-tier single magnate among the wealthy elite, he was the object of admiration and desire for countless women.
Most of the women present tonight, aged from their twenties to their forties, had come hoping to catch a glimpse of him.
“I wish I could become Mr. Hayes’s girlfriend! Even just for one night, it would be worth it!”
“I hear Mr. Hayes is over forty, but his looks are even better than guys in their twenties! The type that gets more charming with age! Plus, he’s a Major General, so his physical fitness must be amazing, which means that aspect surely…”
“Stop drooling already! Is there no one else here you
know?”
“Girls, when you like a man, you can’t just look at his appearance… You also have to look at your own.”

The women chattered animatedly, their noise grating on Killian’s ears.
Do these women only have eyes for Evander?
There are plenty of good-looking, capable single men in the world!
Someone reminded them.
“Everyone, you’d better not get your hopes up. Didn’t you see? Mr. Hayes brought his girlfriend!”
“What? Mr. Hayes has a girlfriend?!”
“Who is this fairy-like woman? So lucky!”
“I’m so envious of Mr. Hayes’s girlfriend. If she really marries him, won’t she get everything she wants? She wouldn’t have a single worry for future life now.”
“Absolutely. Evander has money and power. Marrying him would make anyone a winner in life. I’d love to be their child-they’d surely be showered with endless love and favor.”

Austin leaned against a wall, playing a game on his phone.
The clamor of the women buzzed in his ears. The game he could never get enough of before now felt strangely hollow and boring. He couldn’t even continue playing./
He heard the women’s conversation and understood the
weight of Evander’s status.
If I could be his son…
Irritated, Austin put away his phone and began scanning the hall for Calista’s figure.
