Her Rebirth of Retribution novel Chapter 311

“Let's delay any further action for now. We're in a sensitive period, and many people are watching us closely. Stirring up more trouble isn't wise. Besides, she's already been sentenced and will be out of the picture for quite some time. We can revisit this issue once the dust settles.”

“That sounds reasonable.” Kallum stroked his chin thoughtfully, then said, “You know, I can be quite ruthless, far from the kind and gentle persona you might imagine. Do you still like me then?”

He remembered a conversation where Calista had told him that she admired him most for his demeanor, which she likened to the bright morning sun. Although he never considered himself particularly bright or sunny.

Calista's brow furrowed slightly as she spoke earnestly, “I like you because you embody a sense of freedom. You do whatever you want without caring about what others might think. It's not because of your kindness.”

“So, it seems we truly are a match made in heaven!” Kallum concluded with a smile.

Calista paused, considering his words, then nodded with a returning smile, “Yes, we're definitely a perfect match!”

“Given our understanding, I think it's time for a special gift before we get married!” Kallum seized the moment to present his idea with enthusiasm. “Do you remember when I told you I wanted to build a research center just for you?”

Calista's eyes sparkled with excitement. “You were serious about that?”

Kallum tapped her head playfully, chuckling softly, “When have I ever lied to you? The renovation is complete, and the weather is perfect today. Would you like to see the final result?”

“Well, what are we waiting for?”

With that, they left the Fairchild Manor, heading toward the newly established research center.

Since Calista had publicly committed to studying the K Virus, the absence of her own research center and lack of governmental oversight had caused public unease about potential safety risks.

But now, with the research center established, Calista's professional stature was elevated once again. All of this was a testament to the honor that Kallum had bestowed upon her.

As the car headed toward the research center, for the first time, Calista showed deep emotion. Memories of her past would often flash in front of her eyes whenever she was with Kallum.

Kallum then produced a scarf, gently covering her eyes with it, and whispered mysteriously, “For a little surprise, close your eyes for a while. We'll be there soon.”

Seeing Calista so serene and compliant, blindfolded, touched Kallum deeply. She had softened significantly compared to when they first met, like a hedgehog that had retracted its spines, though she might not have noticed this change herself.
