Her Rebirth of Retribution novel Chapter 437

Kallum's voice was incredibly hoarse, and he had a dazed and harmless look on his face.

It was rare of him to give off such a vibe. When he was alert, he was always full of vigor and vitality, radiating an intensity and warmth akin to that of a diamond.

Calista nodded. “Do you want to sleep on the bed?

Kallum stared at his computer. “But there is still an unfinished document...”

“You can deal with those tomorrow.”

“But this document is of utmost urgency. It simply can't wait until tomorrow.”

Calista pulled out her trump card and bent over to whisper in his ear, “Don't tell me you've forgotten? You said it yourself that you wanted a reward for this matter, remember?”

Kallum's previously muddled mind suddenly became alert.

I mentioned before that I would want consummation once this matter was resolved. Could it be that...

Calista nodded. “Yes, that's right. I agree to it, so let's go to bed!”

Go to bed?

In that moment, Kallum felt as if he had been injected with a shot of adrenaline, standing up with a renewed vigor.

Ten minutes later, Kallum found himself feeling nonplussed while being held in Calista's embrace.

“Is this what you call consummation?” Sleeping on the same bed, at most, could be considered sharing a bed.

“Yup! Doesn't hugging you count?”

Kallum intended to argue his case with a reasoned argument, but he was held back by Calista.

“Go to sleep, or else I'll move to another room to sleep, and you won't even get the chance to hold me!”

Kallum pursed his lips, muttering softly, “What a miser.”

“What did you say?”

“Ah, it's nothing. Time for bed!” Kallum said as he pulled Calista into his arms.

In less than three seconds, he had fallen asleep.

He slept deeply, far more peacefully than when he had previously slept on the table.

Calista studied his finely chiseled profile, her fingers carefully brushing against his long eyelashes. His eyes fluttered slightly, yet he didn't open them, only furrowing his brows slightly. The corners of his mouth seemed to lift a bit, giving off a hint of dissatisfaction.

As if bewitched, Calista drew just a bit closer to him.

Just what kind of person are you, really?

Kallum subconsciously glanced at Calista and asked, “Are you ready, young lady? You're about to become famous!”

Famous?

Calista looked at him, her expression somewhat bewildered. Despite her long-standing desire to prove herself, she had never contemplated the idea of becoming famous.

Upon seeing her lost in thought, Kallum felt a softness in his heart. He held back a laugh and asked, “What's the matter? Not ready to be a star yet?”

Being a star? Is it akin to Quincy's previous life, basking in fame and wealth while elevating my own worth, then navigating through the circles of the elite, armed with nothing but lies and allure?

Calista shook her head, “I'm not quite there yet, but let's just take it one step at a time. When do you plan on holding the press conference?”

“I'll take care of the arrangements.”

“Do I need to prepare for anything?”

Kallum gave her a glance, brimming with pride as he said, “Callie, you don't have to do anything to be perfect! When the time comes, do whatever makes you comfortable. It's your show, so you're the queen.”

Kallum hadn't deceived her. On the day of the press conference, he didn't prepare any extravagant attires for Calista. Instead, she appeared as she usually did, dressed in clean and simple clothes. Her every action and gesture exuded an air of effortless grace that was immensely comforting to those around her.

The venue was packed with people as all the recovered patients had arrived. Apart from the death of a girl due to this incident, everyone else was fine. Their families had also received compensation, and public resentment gradually subsided. What took its place was the noble act of Kallum and Calista publicizing the formula of the medicine. This act was the talk of the town, and everyone felt immensely proud.

That day, the largest venue in Horington was heavily guarded. Not only was the President expected to arrive, but representatives from over forty countries were also due to attend, all there to accept this gesture of goodwill.
