Her Rebirth of Retribution novel Chapter 361

His voice was filled with bitterness, yet he spoke firmly.

“You're using my feelings for you to punish me. Love would never allow you to do such a thing...”

The expression on Calista's face turned cold.

“I've tried so many times, yet you always snap out of it at the final moment, Calista. This isn't how love is shown. You've been fooling yourself into thinking that you love me, and I, I was naive enough to believe that you loved me...”

Upon saying this, Kallum gave a derisive shake of his head, released her, and seemed ready to leave.

Calista's eyes narrowed slightly before she suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck, planting a passionate kiss on his lips.

Caught in Kallum's surprised gaze, Calista's eyes gradually sharpened. Her voice was hoarse; each word she uttered was filled with force.

“If I didn't love you... I wouldn't have been so utterly hopeless!”

She seemed unsatisfied, pushing forward, pinning Kallum against the wall. Her hands gripped his collar, forcing him to lower his gaze to meet hers.

“If I didn't love you, I should have destroyed you!” Her tone suddenly turned ominously terrifying. “You're right! I'm not as righteous as I claim to be. So what if those who have wronged me have never made mistakes in their lives? If they've hurt me, they deserve to die! They deserve to go to hell! So what if I use your feelings to punish you? This is already the lightest punishment!”

“Then I'd rather you be a bit more ruthless!”

In the midst of Calista's icy counterattack, Kallum had also gone somewhat mad.

“At least I wouldn't be so helpless toward you. Does that make you happy? I'm powerless when it comes to you, so I'd rather you be harsher toward me, to make me give up hope!”

“It's not too late now...”

After releasing his collar, Calista took a step back.

“We can still be enemies now, if that's what you want.”

Kallum remained silent. Amidst the silence, Calista suddenly let out a soft laugh.

“If you don't want us to become enemies, can I leave now?”

This single sentence felt like a thorn, ruthlessly piercing into Kallum's chest. He stared in disbelief, his eyes widened, and then he suddenly burst into laughter, his eyes turning red as he spoke.

“Leave...”

He pointed at the door. “Get out!”

Facing his roar, Calista remained silent. She didn't grab her belongings and simply left.

As soon as she left, Kallum punched the wall in frustration. Yet, the heartache he felt did not subside. Instead, it became even more unbearable.

What was he doing? He had clearly decided not to argue when he came over... It wasn't difficult to swallow his pride, especially when it was her. He still wanted to marry her. Even if he didn't bring up the marriage now, it would be fine to return to their previous way of interacting.

But now, their relationship had cooled to freezing point, and every step they took became incredibly difficult.
