Her Rebirth of Retribution novel Chapter 209

Only then did Nevio flash a satisfied smile. “Good girl. You don't have to do a thing. Tonight, I'll have them stay here to rest. When the time comes, I'll arrange everything for you.”

As he spoke, he turned to gaze upon his granddaughter's face. It was as if he could see through her, to the beloved wife he had lost. Of all his descendants, only Seraphina bore the greatest resemblance to his late wife.

“You're breathtakingly beautiful, so only the most outstanding man in the world can be your husband. I can't bear to see you married off to those old men or those upstarts who appeared out of nowhere! They're all a bunch of lowborns, not aristocrats!”

Nightfall arrived, and the banquet went off without a hitch, no errors or mishaps in sight. The only issue that arose was the matter of accommodations for the night.

When at Fairchild Manor, Calista and Kallum shared a room. Even in Jeahron, when Kallum insisted on rooming with Calista, no one dared to object.

However, here, Calista was considered as Kallum's sister in name. If Kallum had wanted her to be his woman, he would have simply declared her as such. But since he had chosen to call her his sister, it meant he wanted to protect her without any romantic intentions. Given this, there was no way they would be assigned one room.

When he arrived at the guest room, it was only then that Kallum realized that fact, his face turning particularly grim.

No, I want to share a room with Callie!

Calista was somewhat troubled. Although Kallum was a decent fighter himself, his current condition was indeed special, and he required constant company. It seemed like tonight, Quintus and the others would have to stand guard.

Quintus mentally bemoaned, No way! I don't want to spend the night with Mr. Kallum!

The smile on the butler who had been in charge of room assignments froze on his face. “Mr. Kallum, do you have some objections regarding the room allocation? Your bodyguards have been arranged in the rooms adjacent to yours. As for this lady, she has been assigned a presidential suite of the same standard as this.”

In other words, he was implying he had been fair in the room assignment and had not mistreated Calista.

Seeing Kallum frown, clearly intending to speak, Calista quickly stopped him!

“Everything is fine! We're really pleased with your arrangements,” she said. “How about this? I'll accompany my brother inside. You all wait for me out here, okay?”

As she spoke, she pulled Kallum into the room. No sooner had the door closed than Kallum pinned Calista against the wall, holding her tightly in his arms!
