Chapter 226 Bea said, "Your father used to collaborate with the Devins family. When you were little, you even met Calla, but she was much younger than you-seven years, to be precise-so it's normal you don't remember her." "The Devins family isn't doing as well, but they're still a publicly traded company. Having Ms. Calla work here as a maid really is beneath her." James' tone was cool.

It was clear to Calla that James had known about her identity all along and had just been pretending not to. She looked down, feeling a bit dejected.

Bea locked reproachfully at James and said, "Maid? I like this girl too much to even think about having her work as a servant. Calla is just so caring, and we get along so well. I love having her take care of me. So, I asked her to stay by my side for a few days. I won't allow you to treat her as a maid." At that moment, Sophie cdown the stairs. Bea turned to her, saying, "I will not allow you to treat her as a maid, and Sophie can't either. Calla is here to take care ofand should only listen to me." "Bea, the Burke family has been kind to my family. I'm here to take care of you because I want to, and that includes looking after Mrs. Burke and James as well," Calla said, even though she had already seated herself next to Bea.

Bea affectionately took Calla's hand. "You are so adorable. The more I see you, the more I like you. If only you were my granddaughter." Sophie looked on coldly. Bea wasn't looking for a granddaughter. She clearly wanted a daughter-in-law.

"If you like Ms. Calla so much, then adopting her as a granddaughter wouldn't be a bad idea, Grandma,” James suddenly chimed in, which made Bea's smile fade a bit.

Sophie, now downstairs, laughed and said, "If you like Ms. Calla, then of course it's a good idea to adopt her as a granddaughter. I agree." "How could that be? Even if I wanted to, Mrs. Devin wouldn't agree. Oh, I just wish Calla could stay by my side forever." Bea said, patting Calla's hand.

Sophie sat down next to James and said, "I was just thinking, Ms. Calla doesn't look or act like a maid. How old are you?" Calla blushed and looked down, "I'll be nineteen this year." "Nineteen? Then you should be in college. Which college do you attend?" Calla smiled and said, “I'm studying at Eastwood College." Sophie's hand paused, and James furrowed his brow.

Sensing the mood shift, Calla thought she had misspoken and asked, "Did I say something wrong?" Bea thought James was reminded of Nichole, and quickly said, "No, you didn't say anything wrong. It's just that James had previously helped a student from Eastwood College." Calla asked curiously, “Is that so? James, the student you helped, who are they?" Bea didn't like Nichole, and said with sresentment, "Why ask about that? That woman had ill intentions, and James had already stopped sponsoring her. Let's not mention her again." Calla nodded. "I understand." Bea smiled again, and Sophie took a few sips of her tea. Bea then said, "James, you've been working so hard these days. Let's take a break today. It's rare for Sophie to have a day off, too. Today, let's have Calla cook a few more dishes. Her cooking is even better than Marian's.”

"Thank you, but Sophie and I will eat out today," James said, taking m Sophie's hand in front of Bea and Calla Sophie did not refuse. Staring at James' hand on Sophie's, Calla gripped Bea's hand a little tighter.

Bea's smile faded as she said, "If you want to go out for a date, then gon t But you must cback tonight. It's ། not proper to be out all day having.

fun."

"Okay." James lost his appetite, stood up, and said to Sophie "Gochange your clothes. I'll wait for you outside." "Alright." Sophie glanced at Calla as she got up, hoticing how Calla's gaze lingered on James, full of unspoken affection. Sophie went upstairs to change, and when she cdown, Calla looked even more melancholic.

In the car, James took the driver's seat, having already prepared the seat cushion for Sophie.
