Her Rebirth of Retribution novel Chapter 347

As they watched the dawn's first light breach the horizon, marking the daily but always uniquely beautiful transition, they felt the magnitude of the moment.

“This is the first time someone has joined me to watch the sunrise,” Calista shared, a softness in her voice that spoke volumes.

It seemed that her silent acknowledgment of the day belonging to him had eased her demeanor, melting away her typical frostiness and unveiling a liveliness rarely seen.

Kallum, confident and reassuring, declared, “As long as you're open to it, I'll be here to watch the sunrise with you every single day.”

After sharing this thought, he chose not to press for an immediate response. Instead, he gestured toward the slowly brightening city below them and suggested with a smile, “For now, let's go grab some breakfast!”

Their unexpected descent into the school square certainly gave the students there a jolt. They then moved on to the front of the school to explore their breakfast options.

Despite her years at Bayview University, Calista, still very much a student, was surprisingly naive about the local breakfast spots outside the university grounds. Her meals were usually confined to the school cafeteria or the carefully prepared nutritious meals from home, typical of a prominent young lady.

Yet, she wasn't dismissive of the street food stalls; she had enjoyed them in her previous life, though she didn't dwell on that now. Instead, she eagerly scanned the surrounding eateries, her interest piqued by the array of choices.

Watching her with evident adoration, Kallum encouraged her, “If something catches your eye, feel free to try whatever you want!”

“What a waste that would be!” Calista protested, but eventually, she led him to a place renowned for its roast beef pasta.

“What would you like to order?” asked the cheerful lady boss, sizing up the couple who clearly weren't ordinary patrons. “We have roast beef pasta, aglio olio, sandwich, ravioli, and calzone.”

Calista studied the greasy menu displayed on the wall and ordered, “Two roast beef pasta, please—one large and one small.”

“Coming right up!” the lady boss replied, shooting a couple more curious glances at Kallum, which made him slightly uncomfortable.

Calista, however, laughed and said, “People are staring because you're so good-looking! See, I'm not even drawing a glance!”

Just then, Kallum gave a stern look to a pair of student-athletes nearby, causing them to quickly divert their attention on Calista and mumble, “I'm the only one who can look at you.”
