Second Chance His Unending Love (Calista Hartwell) novel Chapter 57

Chapter 57

Olivia was on the verge of tears.

The freedom Austin wanted was a life without Calista’s rules or anyone supervising him. He wanted to be a privileged young man who could do whatever he pleased.

But the freedom Olivia wanted was far simpler. She wanted to choose her own hobbies, and she wanted to decide how her room would look.

Perhaps what she had always wanted

knew she had made the right choice.

Next came the smaller details. They needed to buy some soft furnishings and cookware, along with daily necessities.

Calista truly felt grateful to Evander.

“Evander, you have helped us again. Olivia and I both love this place. I know that without you, we never could have bought something this perfect at such a price.”

At nearly six feet three, Evander seemed to compress the space around him as he stood inside the apartment, making him appear even taller and more imposing

He looked out the window and pointed toward Stillwater Bay. “This place is close to both our parents’ homes. If you ever feel like going home, you can do so anytime.”

He was always like this. Thoughtful, meticulous, considering every angle.

With him around, she barely needed to think.

Calista followed his gaze toward the villas at Stillwater Bay and asked, “How are your parents these past few years? Are they in good health?”

“They?” Evander shook his head. “As long as I don’t go home, they’re strong. I 12:13

believe they’ll both live a long life.’

Olivia tilted her head. “And if you do go home?”

“Weak, fragile, and on the brink of death. Constantly dropping hints at me,” Evander said, then stopped himself and changed the subject. “Olivia, when you visit your grandparents, give me a call. I will take you both to my place. My parents will definitely be happy.”

Calista nodded. She knew his parents well.

When she was young, and her parents were busy, she and her brother often ate at the Hayes Manor.

When Evander’s parents were busy, Evander would also come to her home.

She finished the sentence Evander had deliberately left incomplete.

“You’re their only child. Of course, they have worried about you all these years. They are afraid that when they are gone, you will be left alone with no support. That is why they keep hinting at you. They probably really want a grandchild.”

Evander nodded.

“If you don’t mind, I can keep an eye out for you,” Calista said calmly. “With your background and abilities, you will

definitely find a wonderful woman.”

Her tone was sincere.

But Evander heard more than what was said.

Between adults, things didn’t need to be spelled out to be understood.

He didn’t mind Calista’s gentle, almost casual refusal.

What mattered was that she had started to care about his personal life. She was thinking about him.

Evander dropped the topic and pointed to 3/street not far away “Th —

restaurants in that direction. Big places and small ones. If you don’t feel like cooking, you can try them out.”

With that, he left the space to Calista and Olivia.

After he left, Olivia moved closer to

Calista and wrapped her arms around her.

“Mom, were you just turning Mr. Hayes down?”

Calista looked out the window, her expression calm and restrained.

“Evander comes from an elite family. His character, appearance, personality, and abilities are all exceptional. Ho docs.

“But Mom, you are amazing, too,” Olivia said.

Calista sighed softly. Her daughter was still young and didn’t yet understand that in the adult world, personal

excellence alone wasn’t enough to make a relationship work.
