Her Vengeful Rebirth

Chapter 170 An Understatement

Once this thought had taken root, it spread like wild grass. No matter how close they were, it was never enough for Kallum. He wanted to infiltrate Calista’s life, to bind her tightly to himself. Naturally, he was curious about what Calista had been through. Unfortunately, he usually didn’t dare to ask, always feeling that the answer might not be favorable to him. However, things had changed.

“Where are you taking me?” asked Kallum.

Bewildered, Calista glanced at him. “I’m bringing you to my grandparents‘ place.”

“Why?”

Calista shook his head, refusing to speak.

“Why are we going there?”

Kallum moved closer, and to his surprise, he noticed that Calista seemed to blush. She didn’t dare to look at him, and even the palm of her hand that he was holding started to sweat.

“I–I’m giving you a s–surprise…

After she stuttered out her words, she suddenly let go of Kallum’s hand and staggered up the mountain.

Suddenly, a wave of joy washed over Kallum. Was Calista feeling shy? Indeed, she must still harbor feelings for me!

With that in mind, he quickened his pace to catch up, his eyebrows arched in a broad, unmistakable smile.

However, once she arrived at the wooden hut, Calista was taken aback. Tears immediately began to fall, even she didn’t understand why she was crying.
