Her Rebirth of Retribution novel Chapter 307

This uncharacteristic behavior did not escape Kallum's notice, prompting concern. “What happened? What did they do to frighten you?” he inquired with evident worry.

Calista, looking somewhat subdued, replied, “I just feel... I depended too heavily on my own recollections. That's what led things astray this time. I accept a significant portion of the blame. I shouldn't have erred in such a way...”

Her voice carried a hint of despondency, clearly impacted by her own perceived failings.

Kallum, attempting to lighten the mood, chuckled softly and affectionately tousled her hair. Noting her lack of resistance, his heart softened. “Silly girl, everyone makes mistakes. Don't hold yourself accountable for today's events; the fault lies with those despicable b*stards.”

Despite his reassurances, Calista remained downcast. She had placed excessive trust in her memory, which not only led her into perilous situations but also jeopardized her survival. This was wholly inexcusable to her, and she struggled to readily forgive herself.

“Geez...” Kallum murmured, sitting close and planting a tender kiss on her temple. “How did I ever fall for such a silly girl like you?”

Calista frowned slightly. I'm not silly! This mistake has been a rare lapse since my reincarnation. From now on, I can't rely solely on her memory of my previous life.

Upon learning of the machinations against her by Quincy and Jason, Kallum's expression darkened significantly. “It turns out it was that scoundrel. Years ago, a woman he fancied declared her affection for me publicly, which he took as a personal affront. Not only did he ruin her life covertly, disfiguring her, but since then, he's harbored a vendetta against me. I've never taken him seriously, but who could have imagined that he would be audacious enough to target you!”

The more Kallum dwelt on the subject, the more his anger intensified. A fierce sparkle appeared in his violet eyes. “Just wait and see, Callie. I'll make sure he pays for this!”

Calista nodded, her emotions mixed. Unexpectedly, she found herself expressing, “It's really nice to have you.”

Kallum, momentarily taken aback by her candid admission, saw his previously somber demeanor transform instantly into one of delight. “You're just realizing this now?” he exclaimed, his heart swelling with emotion. He wished he could convey to her, “It's so wonderful to have you too.”

She had found her sanctuary in him, just as he had rediscovered his zest for life in her. They were indeed a perfect match.

Filled with unspoken joy, Kallum pondered the gift he had promised Callie. I wonder if it's ready. I'm sure she'd be delighted if I presented it to her as a surprise before our wedding!

The next day, Horington was once again alive with talk of Calista, sparking significant news coverage. Initially, those visiting the Wolfords presumed the woman seen with numerous men was Calista, stirring whispers and potential jests at Kallum's expense about his fidelity.
