Her Rebirth of Retribution

Chapter 399 Did Not See Painting

"I'm not entirely confident, but my brother told me all I need to do is give it a shot," replied Ambrose. Calista nodded. "All right, I've lingered here for long enough. It's time for me to leave. Will you walk me out?" With a frown, Ambrose muttered, "That was fast..."

As he was leaving, there were several instances where he seemed to want to speak but held his tongue.

Calista remarked, "You seem quite odd today. Is there something you want to say?"

Ambrose blushed. As he gazed into Calista's overly bright eyes, he felt his normally steady heart begin to race uncontrollably. "Callie... if..."

"Hmm?" When dealing with Ambrose, Calista always displayed a touch more patience than with others.

"If... If..." He stammered, even though he only needed a second to say a sentence that he had been rehearsing in his mind all day long.

He gritted his teeth, leaning in close to Calista's ear. "If you no longer have feelings for Kallum, would you consider being with a younger man?" The smile on Calista's face froze.
