Her Rebirth of Retribution novel Chapter 373

But who cares? Maybe... Perhaps Kallum has already given up, seeing that I remained unmoved by his efforts?

Calista felt inexplicably irritated. She shook her head and headed toward the house she had rented. Since a housekeeper had already cleaned it, she could move in immediately.

Looking at the quaint country-style mansion before her, she realized that this would be her temporary home in the future.

The mansion consisted of just one bedroom, a study, and a practice room—three rooms in total. It used to be home to a young couple. Although it was said to be two stories, it was actually just one. In order to maintain their privacy and undisturbed world of two, they didn't even set up a guest room. This time, they decided to rent out their house because they were planning to go on a long-term trip.

For Calista, this place was quite suitable. If the house was too large, she didn't feel secure living in it.

Since only the downstairs bathroom had a bathtub, Calista had taken a bath there before heading upstairs. By the time she entered her room, she was already quite exhausted. Therefore, she didn't bother turning on the lights and simply collapsed onto the bed.

But the moment she fell down, she jolted back up as if she'd been electrocuted.

There was someone on the bed!

Though she was quick, someone was even quicker. A shadowy figure swiftly scooped up Calista into his arms. With a swift roll onto the romantic circular bed, he had her pinned underneath him.

Upon catching a whiff of the familiar scent, Calista gave the other party a swift thump in a fit of frustration.

“Kallum! What are you doing here?”

Her heart was pounding wildly.

In the darkness, Kallum chuckled softly. “Why can't I be here? From now on, we're roommates!”

“Are you kidding me?” Calista's temper flared up a bit. “I signed a contract with the landlord!”

Kallum spoke with a hint of smugness. “But what can you do? I've already bought this house. I bet even if you try calling them tomorrow, they won't pick up. So, you might as well save your energy!”

Calista was speechless. “You... bought it?”

“Exactly!” Although Kallum was joking, his tone was surprisingly firm. “Wherever you decide to live in the future, I'll buy a house there. If you buy a place, I'll purchase the one across from you. You won't be able to escape from me for the rest of your life, Callie.”

Calista was at a loss for how to face him anymore.

She closed her eyes briefly. No wonder Kallum let me go so easily. He was waiting for me here all along... D*mn it!

How despicable!

“Get away from me!”

When she was angry, her voice was full of vitality. Kallum really enjoyed teasing her, especially when she lost control.

“You better not move around too much.”

In the darkness, Kallum's body grew increasingly warm, causing Calista's skin, wherever he touched, to shudder.

He took a light sniff of her, speaking with restrained patience.

“Otherwise, I really can't hold back anymore.”

It was only then that Calista realized she had come upstairs draped only in a bath towel. Despite not being able to see anything during their interaction, it felt as though Kallum had taken full advantage of the situation.
