Her Rebirth of Retribution

Chapter 240 A Good Plan

Plus, based on Kallum's reaction, it was clear that Kallum was more interested in her than she was in him. As a result, she was in control, but that didn't mean she had become a seasoned veteran in the game of love. She was merely smartly using her advantage, but was far from being a master in love.

Now was a good example of just how clueless she was. Anyone could tell Kallum was struggling to suppress his feelings for her. In fact, the muscles beneath his clothes that were taut with tension, his intense aura of masculinity, and the look in his eyes said it all. However, Calista, though initially uneasy, quickly convinced herself that Kallum wouldn't harm her and continued sitting on his lap, oblivious to the danger.

Kallum's handsome face was taut, his Adam's apple bobbing incessantly. It seemed as though he had so much to say, so much he wanted to do, yet his rationality kept him in check. Such a tense atmosphere caused goosebumps to crawl all over Quintus' skin. "Nothing." Kallum's gaze dimmed. Apparently, rationality had prevailed over impulse this time. He desired to conquer her yet was so afraid to hurt her.

"Quintus, get out," he said.

"Yes, sir!" Quintus, relieved, shouted in response and took off, scampering out of the room.

When they were finally alone in the room, Calista started to feel uneasy. "Don't you want to hear about Quincy's secret?"

Kallum reached out, pulling her close to him. In a hushed voice, he muttered, "I'm more curious about your secret."

The word "secret" clearly held a deeper meaning. Unfortunately, Calista didn't get it. As Kallum held her, she responded the same way she did in any other intimate moment they shared throughout the year, quietly enduring it.

She felt that she had a huge impact on Kallum's state of mind, and a patient's emotions were crucial to the treatment. Her sense of shame had long since disappeared anyway, and she could handle being embraced and kissed. Plus, Kallum always had a refreshing scent about him, and his appearance was a feast for the eyes.

After Calista revealed Quincy's secret, Kallum had already calmed down. He hadn't expected to hear such news, but it surprisingly aligned with his speculations.
