Second Chance His Unending Love (Calista Hartwell) novel Chapter 86

Chapter 86

At the Frost Manor, Austin rummaged through boxes and drawers until he finally dug up his old chess books and

chess set.

“Dad, get me the best chess teacher you can find. I’m going to win this competition.”

It was rare to see Austin so motivated, and Killian naturally gave him full support.

“I’ve already got Edward on it. Don’t worry about the teacher situation. With enough money thrown at it, you’ll get access to the best instruction available.”

Austin paused. “What about Olivia? Are you going to hire a teacher for her too?”

Killian fell silent for a moment, then shook his head firmly. “Olivia’s been brainwashed by your mother right now and isn’t thinking clearly. She needs to learn a lesson and realize that without the Frost family’s support, she can’t possibly stand out.”

Auştin relaxed immediately. “You’re right. She’s too 15:44

naive.”

With the best chess teacher, the organizer Bradley’s backing, plus his own superior learning abilities, he’d definitely crush Olivia this time.

Once Killian had everything arranged for Austin, he changed into a casual suit and got ready to head out.

Austin hesitated, reluctant to see him leave. “Dad, you’ve got a dinner tonight?”

“Yeah.” Killian adjusted his tie casually. “Don’t wait for me-just eat.”

“But you haven’t had a proper meal with me in forever…”

Killian frowned, and his expression turned cold with. fatherly authority, making Austin shrink back.

“Austin, you’re 16 years old now. You’re almost an adult. When I was your age, I was already working part-time jobs to help support the family. You need to learn to be more independent.”

Austin mumbled something under his breath and

watched Killian leave.

He was starting to miss the days when Calista and Olivia were still around.

Calista used to make the most delicious meals, and he/ and Olivia would laugh and joke around together.

Now the house felt cold and lifeless, like walking into a freezer. He hadn’t enjoyed a proper meal in ages.

Killian drove Stephanie to Skyline Tower.

She told him she’d arranged a blind date for him tonight at the Sky Lounge restaurant with the Sullivan family’s daughter, and he had to show up on time.

Killian didn’t want to go on blind dates so soon, but the Sullivan family was a major powerhouse that couldn’t be taken lightly.

They were especially important since they were the maternal family of Madam Hayes.

The Hayes family’s power and status were completely beyond his reach, but if he could connect with them through the Sullivans, it would be incredible for the Frost family’s future.

He arrived at the Sky Lounge soon enough.

Sitting at his reserved table, Killian scanned the room out of habit, but then he spotted two familiar figures at a nearby table.

Calista and Olivia?

When he saw who they were dining with, rage flared up inside him, and he shot to his feet.

Killian reached Calista’s table in just a few strides, radiating cold fury. The warm, cheerful atmosphere at the table came to an abrupt halt.

Calista, Olivia, Bradley, and Susan all turned to look at

him at once.

Killian’s eyes narrowed with a dark intensity as he stared at Calista and Olivia like he wanted to devour them.

The remaining gourmet dishes on the table showed they’d been there for a while.

“Calista, you’d better explain what you’re doing here.” His calm tone was the best composure he could manage right

now.

Calista set down her knife and fork and dabbed at the

corner of her mouth with her napkin.

Without even looking up, she asked coolly, “Why can’t I

be here?”

Killian let out a cold laugh like he’d figured everything

out.

“Calista, stop wasting your time scheming. Mr. Ferrer is my friend, and he’s not gonna help you get back together

with me.”

Stephanie followed over, crossing her arms and shooting Calista a disgusted look.

“Calista, my son won’t give you the time of day, so now you’re chasing after Mr. Ferrer? Let me tell you something, Killian’s already started going on blind dates 577

so you can forget about ever getting back into the Frost family!”

Mockery spread across Calista’s eyes.

Olivia lifted her gaze toward Killian, and her cool
