Her Rebirth of Retribution novel Chapter 387

“Is it good?” Kallum asked.

Calista nodded, which only made Kallum's smile even more radiant.

“I made it!” He lifted his chiseled chin slightly. “I told you, something as trivial as cooking doesn't pose a challenge to me!”

Calista struggled to find the right words. “Actually, it isn't all that good.”

Kallum's eyebrows arched high as he stopped feeding her. “You're lying! You just licked your lips!”

Calista said indifferently, “It's just a bowl of soup. Your skills are merely at a basic level.”

Kallum furrowed his brows, skeptically taking a bite.

The taste was clearly delightful—fresh, fragrant, smooth—far surpassing what their household chef could whip up. Do I find it delicious only because I made it myself when in reality, it isn't tasty at all?

Kallum found himself lost in self-doubt.

Calista smiled slightly, looking at him without blinking.

“I'll just make do with it. I'm practically starving.”

Only then did Kallum continue to feed her, albeit a bit grudgingly. “Next time, I'll make you truffle potato gratin. I guarantee it'll be so delicious you'll practically swallow your tongue!”

Truffle potato gratin was Calista's favorite dish. She narrowed her eyes, eating without uttering a word.

Upon seeing her lips part and close, Kallum inexplicably felt a pang of hunger.

He sat on the edge of the bed, shifting his gaze away, then said with a hint of smugness, “Did you say last night that you don't regret falling in love with me?”

Calista burst into a fit of coughing.

When Kallum saw her choke, he immediately put down the bowl and fetched her some water. As Calista was drinking water, he frowned and patted her back. “It's not like I'm stealing your food. How can you choke on soup? What were you thinking about?”

His hand paused mid-pat on her back as he studied her.

“You don't regret falling in love with me?”

Once again, Calista started coughing. She wasn't pretending; she was really choking this time.

Why did I blurt out such words back then? Yeah, that was what I said, but knowing Kallum's narcissistic tendencies, he would surely misconstrue it!

Calista wished the ground could swallow her whole, yet Kallum held her chin with one hand, forcing her to look at him.

When Calista looked up, she found herself lost in his gaze. His eyes, clear and bright, carried a deep purple hue, reminiscent of the most mysterious gemstone. They were captivating.

“You said you love me?”

His voice, laced with laughter, seemed to come from the horizon. It took Calista a couple of seconds to regain her senses. She shook her head vigorously, like a bobblehead doll. The way her head was spinning quickly was just too adorable.
