Her Rebirth of Retribution

Chapter 291 Her Heartbeat Stopped

From despising me to looking forward to marrying me has only taken a year and a half...

"What are you standing there in a daze?" Kallum turned around, only to notice that Calista was rooted to the spot with her gaze slanted toward him. A slight smile played on his lips, his upright posture and his lifted eyebrows making it known that he was in high spirits. "You're very happy?" Calista asked, quirking an eyebrow.

At her question, Kallum retracted his gaze quickly as if scalded before glaring at her with a hint of dissatisfaction. "Are you not happy?"

Calista was not one to put on a facade. She didn't feel unhappy, but she wasn't exactly thrilled either. Logically, it didn't make sense. A wish that hadn't been fulfilled in her previous life was suddenly realized in this one, so it boggled her mind that she wasn't profoundly excited.

However, Kallum was so elated that he overlooked that detail. In his eyes, Calista had always been a woman who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, so he reckoned she was merely feigning calmness.

He walked over and took her hand before continuing forward. As they walked through the open corridor, the scent of peony wafted into their nostrils. The rounded moon cast a silvery light that illuminated Kallum's profile and added a glitter to his eyes. "I'm very happy," he suddenly murmured.

Calista turned her head to look at him. At that same time, he also turned to look at her. In that instant, their eyes locked, and her heart inexplicably skipped a beat because she saw blazing affection in his eyes.

He gazed intently at Calista, his tone unwavering as he slowly repeated, "I'm genuinely happy. In the past, I saw marriage as a constraint, something I didn't want if I had the choice. But now..."

He chuckled lightly, baring his pearly whites as he lowered his gaze. There was an unexpected hint of innocence in his smile.

"But now, thinking that it's you I'll be marrying, I can't help but wonder why the special date is months from now."

He actually find two months too long?

Calista was slightly dazed, a long and slender finger gently lifted her chin, compelling her to face him head-on. As she looked up, Kallum flashed her a sidelong smile.

That's why he can draw close to me so brazenly and even kiss
