Her Rebirth of Retribution

Chapter 396 Tamed By Calista

After giving it some thought, Yelena took the cup of coffee and headed to Benedict's study.

Benedict had initially been engrossed in reviewing financial statements when he noticed her, expressing surprise. "What's the matter?"

Yelena's tears immediately welled up, cascading down her cheeks. Her face, elegantly maintained and even more refined due to her weight loss, was filled with an expression of profound sorrow. "I feel so useless... Callie asked me to pour her some coffee, but I have no idea what kind she preferred. I've prepared different coffee a few times, yet she's never satisfied. To avoid wasting it, I'll give this cup to you to drink..."

Benedict's expression held an inexplicable restraint. Just when Yelena thought Benedict would criticize Calista, he managed to utter a sentence, "Callie is unpredictable. It's best you don't upset her."

A chill ran down Yelena's spine. Could it be that in such a short span of time, Benedict had already been wholly tamed by Calista?

She found the situation to be more challenging, and she bowed her head, sobbing softly.

"Benedict! I'm at my wit's end. I know I've made many mistakes in the past. It's understandable if Callie doesn't forgive me, but I truly realize my wrongdoings now..." That time, she truly cried.

The thought of her life after divorcing Benedict was too painful to put into words. She had once found Benedict unbearable, but she realized that he had genuinely cared for her. "I was ignorant to your worth in the past. I didn't cherish you, but I truly realize my mistake now, Benedict. Please help me..."

Benedict found himself touched by her tears. He had always been a man easily moved by emotions, especially when it came to Yelena, his wife of many years. Even if love was absent, he still felt a sense of deep familial bond with her. Seeing her struggle so much, he couldn't help but feel a surge of compassion. "All right, stop crying now! I'll take you down, okay? Callie is only staying at home for a week. During this week, try not to upset her. I'll also have a word with her."
