Her Rebirth of Retribution

Chapter 134 Love Her So Much

Calista felt something was off, but the banquet was about to start, so she didn't dwell on it too much. The corners of her mouth curled up, forming a small smile as she glanced at herself in the mirror. "How do I look today?"

The woman reflected in the mirror exuded an icy elegance. Dressed in a gown adorned with diamonds, resembling a starry night sky, she looked like a deity emerging from the darkness, out of everyone's league. Kallum looked intensely at the mirror and exclaimed, "You're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen."

The attire she wore, along with the headpiece, was all made for their engagement ceremony. If Calista had been more observant, she would've noticed that Kallum's outfit complemented hers.

Her hairpin and his cufflinks were the indicators.

Why does he have to stand so close to talk?

The awkwardness set in belatedly, and Calista quickly said, "In that case, I'll head down first!"

After speaking, she extricated herself from Kallum's "embrace", and left under the housekeeper's escort.

Kallum found it quite unsettling when his arms were suddenly empty. He pursed his lips, looking at his lone reflection in the mirror. A hint of darkness surfaced in his usually dignified gaze. What can I do to keep her by my side forever? Am I supposed to drag her down with me?

For the first time in his life, Kallum was plagued by such dark thoughts. The thoughts lingered in his mind, nearly driving him to madness.

No, I can't! Callie has liked me for over a decade. Even at the tender age of nine, she had been willing to risk her life to save me! Even though I misunderstood her, she still had feelings for me. When she saw I'd been poisoned, she didn't hesitate to use her own body to neutralize the toxin. She had been so kind to me. How can I possibly entertain the thought of dragging such a good person down?

Kallum closed his eyes.

When I went to Lostaria, Calista had followed me there. I'll never forget how we fought side by side, nor would I forget the sight of her, standing proudly in the fiery forest after taking a life. Every time I thought I couldn't possibly love her more, she would always find a way to make me fall even deeper for her. Whenever I felt my love for her deepened, I realized my affection could never match the extent of her devotion. Just imagine the uproar when her medical skills that can extend one's life are revealed. Many have been eager to find out the reason I'm still alive to this day. My family has kept it tightly under wraps. Yet, many still suspected Calista. In order to save me, Calista had risked her very life. She wouldn't have needed to expose herself to such danger if it weren't for me. Besides, the recent events deeply touched me, even though I didn't express it. The doctors' and experts' gazes were wary as if looking at a monster. Only Calista had treated me as she did before, as though I was normal. She never repelled my nearness and even took the initiative to approach me. She had done so much for me. Her kindness toward me left me trembling with excitement.
