Chapter 147

The morning rays began to show light streaming into Calista's room through the window blinds.

The light hits a beautiful face, but it doesn't disturb Calista's sleep. When the woman felt a gentle caress on her head, her eyes opened wide.

Calista gasped to see her mother sitting on the bed, smiling at her. "Good morning, Earl."

"Good morning, Mom." Calista sat leaning against the back of the bed. Her eyes fixed on her mother.

Dreena felt uncomfortable being stared at like that. "Don't look at Mom with that death stare of yours."

"What is Mom doing so early in my room?"

"Ridiculous question. Of course, I miss you. Come here." She hugs the princess tightly.

"I missed you too, Mom." She kissed her mother's cheek in turn and then broke the hug. Calista stared intently at her mother. "Is there anything Mom wants to ask me?"

"Yes."

"Say."

"Did you meet with Mr. Gilbert yesterday?"

"Why do you ask about it?"
