Her Rebirth of Retribution novel Chapter 233

“Since I went to Corleon without telling Kallum, he came personally to Corleon to bring me back when he found out. Technically, I should still be in Corleon right now.”

As she spoke, she playfully pouted her lips, portraying the elegant yet mischievous distinguished young lady from a respectable family; her performance was utterly convincing.

“Since I've been cornered today, I have no choice but to clarify things, to prevent any unnecessary misunderstandings. While it's true that I've studied the K Virus, I'm only human, and my understanding of it is limited. The gentleman's earlier speculation, I must say, has somewhat demonized me. Indeed, Kallum had contracted the virus. But, thanks to the timely injection of antibodies, he became that lucky one percent. I was even more ecstatic about that than he was!”

Her eyes shimmered as if speckled with subtle hints of affection. Whenever she looked at Kallum, it seemed as if no one else existed in her world. This was exactly how Calista used to look at Kallum.

Kallum felt his heart race as he gazed into her eyes, overwhelmed with happiness and contentment.

The joyful smile that lit up his face was something no one else had ever seen before, making him more dazzling and eye-catching than ever.

Proudly, he raised their interlocked hands, solemnly announcing to the people with various expressions on their faces. “Since you all seem to be curious, I'll let you in on it. If I don't meet an untimely end, I'll marry Callie once she reaches legal age. I love her, and that's something that would never change.”

A stifled cry of excitement echoed from below.

Calista added, “Assuming I don't meet an unexpected end, I'll continue loving you until the end of the world.”

Feeling it was cheesy, the two shared a glance and smiled bashfully amidst the dazzling lights. It was a scene so beautiful that some of the youths could no longer contain themselves, letting out cries and cheers of astonishment.

This is thrilling! The sight of a handsome man and a beautiful woman standing together is already quite a spectacle, and they're even publicly displaying their affection! They're clearly doing this on purpose!

Many women felt a pang of envy and disappointment, but their hearts almost melted when they saw the way Kallum looked at Calista. They had seen more than their fair share of life, and they knew how to distinguish between true and false love. If there was ever true love in the world, it would be Kallum and Calista.

Thus, despite their jealousy, they were reluctant to ruin what Kallum and Calista shared, as if it were unprecedented and that they would never again witness such a beautiful love.

It goes without saying for the middle-aged wealthy ladies. Deep down, their youthful hearts dreamed of becoming princesses, and the cruel nature of reality made them even more susceptible to such beautiful love. The older men were probably the only ones who managed to maintain their composure.

Those who refused to give up finally couldn't resist causing a scene.

A jewelry tycoon stepped forward, wearing an ambiguous smile. “Congratulations, Ms. Stafford. You and Mr. Kallum are finally together after you've been in love with him for such a long time. I bet it wasn't easy. Your unwavering determination is admirable especially with all the rumors and gossip swirling around. I'm quite envious!”

He patted his stomach, a cold glint flashing in his eyes as he asked jokingly, “If, and I mean if, Mr. Kallum didn't become that one percent lucky guy, what would you do?”

She was staring intently at Kallum, who felt his heart swell with emotions. His purple eyes were filled with an unspeakable depth of emotion. At that moment, all he could do was hold Calista tightly, unable to utter a single word.

Many women patted their blushing cheeks, reflecting on what they just saw and wishing they were the ones being embraced and kissed by Kallum. Furthermore, there were plenty of men who watched Kallum with envy. He already has an exceptional family background and looks. Why does he also get to have the world's prettiest woman? What did he do to deserve this?

Many who had initially harbored doubts now had no choice but to put them aside. Calista's act of kissing Kallum was devoid of any pretense or hesitation. No one could risk their safety to put on such a performance. After all, they would never dare to kiss someone infected with the K Virus, let alone engage in a tongue kiss.

Silas finally let out a long sigh of relief after observing everyone's expressions, playing along. “Yes, that's true. Kallum is still recovering. I'd appreciate it if you all could take the focus off them and let them rest.”

Many people flashed kind smiles.

“Mr. Kallum, do rest well. I'm waiting for your wedding!” said a wealthy lady in her fifties.

Kallum tightened his grip on Calista's hand and demonstrated unprecedented patience for the first time ever in a banquet. “All right, thank you.”

“My goodness, seeing you guys makes me feel like I'm back to my teenage years.” A princess from Wallera in her sixties spoke warmly to Calista. Despite her age, she looked incredibly elegant and beautiful.
