Chapter 76 If Not A Kiss What About A Hug
The bloodshed earlier had ignited the violence within her heart, and now she had an urge to tear apart anybody she saw.
Kallum looked straight into her aggressive eyes and used his gentlest voice and asked, "I just want to help you."
Help her?
Calista laughed coldly. Where was he when she needed him the most in her previous life? Celebrating the annulment of their engagement? Or getting engaged to Mirabelle?Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
In this life, she didn't need any help, and definitely didn't need any pity! She had no weakness for others to exploit, so she could tread on any of her enemies with no worries. Calista's mocking laughter made Kallum frown deeply.
This was the first time he had fallen for someone, and he wanted only the best for her, but he didn't even know what she wanted.
When Calista had shot Jarrett earlier, he had been deeply impressed by her, but felt a great ache in his heart at the same time.
People only changed this much when faced with death, and he had to admit that the woman he loved must have gone through something very terrifying without his knowledge.
"Calista, you may be a very strong person, but you can't be stronger than an entire clan. Previously you struck a deal with me to become the Fairchilds' goddaughter because you needed the power of my family, right? But now I'm willing to help you without you doing anything, why do you reject my help?"
"Because you want emotions from me."
Calista rested against the seat cushions and relaxed, her mouth curling slightly into a mocking smile.
"Emotions? I don't have any of it left from my previous life. A deal is more practical."
Kallum felt a lump in his throat.
He clasped his hands together and released them again and again, as if he was trying to hold back something.
Before asking for her feelings, he had already given his own, so what was wrong in asking for feelings in return? He was not one to pursue a one-sided love affair!
Calista didn't want the feelings he had for her, so she didn't want his help either - how much disdain did she have for him? This was like throwing his pride on the floor and stepping all over it!
But when he saw how tired Calista looked, the fire in his heart was put out even before it could start. He was completely helpless - why did he fall for her?
The more he thought about this, he more agitated he became, and he suddenly lunged forward and kissed her lips.
Calista didn't struggle. It wasn't the first time Kallum had kissed her anyway, and she was too tired to fight back.
Besides, Kallum smelt good and his kiss was as passionate as himself. Sometimes he even seemed like a bright light warming up her cold body and made her feel alive.
Her emotions were cold and unstable, so she didn't mind his display of affection, and even thought about getting more.
But Kallum suddenly stopped and looked at Calista with mixed emotions. Earlier his confidence was broken, but he was back on his feet after one kiss!
"You can reject me now, but I'm sure I'll move you one day!"
A look of confidence flashed in his dark purple eyes. There was nothing that he, Kallum, could not do!
He finished declaring his intentions and moved back, but Calista suddenly threw her arms around his neck.
She suddenly stared straight at him, capturing his attention, and looked dangerous.
"That's it?"
She smiled as if to challenge him, her intricate face suddenly coming to life, her seductive beauty making his heart pound!
She had no love for him, only a desire to dominate him.
"You always take advantage of me, so tell me...how should I repay you?"
Kallum suddenly felt like he couldn't move anymore, and it was as if he had become Calista's prey and was being watched by her. He felt nervous and his mouth went dry at the same time. "What do you want?"
He asked hoarsely, not realizing how much expectation he had in his eyes.
She had lost all shame when she died the first time round, and after waking up in this life, Calista had already decided to do whatever she wanted. So in response to Kallum, she used a finger to lightly trace the outline of Kallum's chest muscles and curled her lips into a smile.
"Actually if you stop talking about liking or not liking me, I'm actually quite willing to be your lover."
After all, after so many years of living she'd only slept with Kallum, and never thought about finding anyone else. "Do you know what you're talking about?"
Kallum narrowed his eyes dangerously and used both his hands to pull Calista into his embrace.
He wasn't sure if he was feeling happier or prouder, but his body started getting excited by this closeness to Calista. "Of course I know what I'm talking about. I like your body, it's strong and warm."
Calista then tiredly rested her head on Kallum's chest, put her arms round his waist and closed her eyes.
When she listened to his heart pounding, she suddenly stopped being on the defensive and strangely felt very secure.
Whatever she said about being lovers was just a sudden thought. What she really wanted was just a hug.
Kallum was the only man who had ever touched her, so even if he drove her to despair, she would not reject his affection.
At this time she couldn't think of anyone else who would give her a hug when she wanted some warmth and comfort. How sad this situation was!
Kallum was delighted that Calista had come close to him. Calista didn't mind his body? Was it because he was her first man? Kallum's brain went straight into the gutter.
But he saw Calista bury her head in his embrace like an ostrich, and a sweet feeling rose from Kallum's heart as he bent down to kiss her face lovingly. Seeing that she didn't resist and even nestled deeper into his chest, Kallum couldn't help but laugh, and he suddenly understood what happened.
Calista was feeling afraid earlier,
right? She was so aggressive at the Sinclairs', seeking revenge and all, but she was feeling fearful in her heart, right? But she didn't know how to express her fear and so she sought comfort now. Since he was her first man, he was her first
avenue of comfort too.
Even if so, he was still happy. So what if she didn't like him now? He was still special to her, and that was enough!
When they reached the Stafford residence, Kallum hadn't moved and neither had Calista. She had hugged Kallum and quietly fell asleep, as if she'd never slept so well before.
Quintus secretly sent a message to Kallum, and he replied: Go round the city via the outermost road. Drive slowly and carefully.
Quintus nodded in response, but he was stunned by this reply.
Kallum had never shown such care to anybody before, so he must have fallen very deeply in love this time.
Quincy was at home waiting for news but there was no reply after waiting the entire day. She tried to call but the other party had turned his phone off.
"Did he fail?" Quincy thought as much, since Calista seemed to be possessed by the devil and it seemed highly possible that he would fail...
She decided to wait till Mirabelle returned before interfering. Then when Mirabelle and Calista were fighting with one another to death, she could seize the opportunity to catch this big fish!
Everything was perfect in her
imagination, and Quincy got ready to go out. She had one more important thing to do now. She had gotten a place in Bayview University, but she needed solid research results if she wanted a good supervisor to guide her She didn't have any, but she remembered that Calista had plenty in that small wooden hut...Calista's research results were hers, weren't they?
