Her Rebirth of Retribution

Chapter 296 This Will Alleviate The Pain

"Trust me, doing this will alleviate the pain."

Calista nodded subtly. She had to admit that when Kallum kissed her, the pain in her body seemed to lessen significantly. Such was the strange effect of hormones. Just as the two were becoming increasingly engrossed in the moment of passion, a sudden knock on the door echoed through the room, leaving them both startled. Subconsciously, Kallum covered Calista with the blanket, asking discontentedly. "Who is it?"

Upon hearing her son's annoyed voice, Wanda felt a wave of guilt wash over her. She wondered if she had inadvertently disrupted something, but it was just past dinner time. With a stiffened resolve, Wanda said, "Callie, your dad's here. Aren't you going to see him?"

It was then that Calista remembered that Benedict should have arrived by then. After all, just a few days ago, Wanda had discussed her marriage plans with him. Since she hadn't returned home, Benedict had no choice but to come and check in with her. "Um... I'm on my way."

Calista gave Kallum a nudge, swiftly getting dressed. Off to the side, Kallum grumbled, "Who visits at this time?"

In his heart, he had long stopped considering Calista as part of the Stafford family.

Calista chuckled. "Since we're getting married, do you really think you can avoid meeting my dad?"

Kallum cast his covetous gaze over her. The more he thought about it, the more regretful he felt. The night was when she felt the most discomfort, so it was impossible for him to make a move then. Everything had fallen into place perfectly at that moment; it was such a pity it had been disrupted.

Despite the dissatisfaction swelling within him, he refrained from voicing his complaints. Instead, he simply hummed in response. "Of course not. I'll accompany you to meet Dad!"

He's calling him Dad already? Calista suddenly felt a strange sensation. Their progress was incredibly fast. Although they were only getting married and had to wait until she was of age to officially register, it was undeniably a whirlwind romance.
