Her Rebirth of Retribution

Chapter 228 Who Could Have Possibly Caught His Eye

"You seem to be on much better terms with Mr. Kallum now. Indeed, it might have been better had you two been siblings from the start. It would have spared you both considerable hardship."

"Perhaps you're right," she responded thoughtfully. "I'll go on ahead then."

"All right, but don't keep Mr. Kallum waiting too long," Benedict added quickly.

Calista took a few steps, then paused and looked back, noticing Benedict still there, his gaze following her departure.

He stood tall and lean by the window, the sunset casting a warm glow that highlighted his refined features. Unlike many men of his age, Benedict lacked the typical middle-aged spread, his demeanor exuding a relaxed charm. His eyes carried a hint of youthful naivety that belied his years, reflecting a man who, despite occasional obliviousness and bias, deeply cared for his daughter.
